PBX Attribute Flow

In this section we'll configure the PBX ConnectorView. The procedure here is the same as the one we used to configure the HR ConnectorView in the previous section, but the only attribute we're going to map is "telephonenumber".

There are 11 steps in this procedure.

Step 1: Begin configuring the PBX ConnectorView

Right-click on the icon representing the PBX ConnectorView and select Configure....


Step 2: Use the Default CommonName Rule Set

Click on the Configuration (To MV) tab in the "Configuring ConnectorView PBX ConnectorView" window. Select the Default CommonName Rule Set from the menu of possible Join Rules.

Don't click OK yet.


Step 3: Begin creating a new Attribute Flow Rule

Click on the ... button next to the Attribute Flow: field. This will bring up the Attribute Flow configuration window.


Step 4: Add a new rule

Right-click on the Rules icon (under "To MetaView") and select Add New Rule.... This will bring up the Attribute Flow Rule Editor.


Step 5: Assign a name to new rule

Assign the name PBX Attribute Flow to the new rule. Select the PBX ConnectorView from the ConnectorViews menu, and click Edit...


Step 6: Edit the new rule

Select telephonenumber from the Attribute list and Present form the Expression list, then click Insert.

Click OK.
The condition statement should be %telephonenumber% <Present> .


Step 7: Invoke insert mappings window

The Selection Criteria for the PBX ConnectorView should now be set to (%telephonenumber%=@).

Click on Insert Mappings... to continue.


Step 8: Insert telephonenumber mapping

Select inetOrgPerson for both the Source and the Destination objectclasses.

Double-click on the telephonenumber Source attribute. This should automatically highlight telephonenumber in the Destination list and insert the mapping into the PBX ConnectorView. Since this is the only attribute we're going to flow in this ConnectorView you can click Close when you're finished.

When you return to the "Attribute Flow Rule Editor" window, you should see "telephonenumber" mapped to"telephonenumber". Click OK.


Step 9: Begin adding a new rule set

Right-click on the icon representing Rule Sets and select Add New Rule Set... from the menu.


Step 10: Define the new rule set

Using the Rule Set editor, assign the name PBX to MV Rule Set to the new rule set. Select the PBX Attribute Flow rule and click Insert.

Click OK. The Attribute Flow Configuration window should now show the PBX to MV Rule Set.

Click Close.

Make sure your "Configuring ConnectorView PBX ConnectorView" window looks like the one shown here before continuing.

Step 11:

You should now be back at the Configuring ConnectorView "PBX ConnectorView" window. Select the PBX to MV Rule Set and click OK.


Summary

We've now finished configuring the PBX ConnectorView. The only attribute that will flow to the MetaView is "telephonenumber".

In the next section we'll specify Join Rules for the Messaging ConnectorView.
