Checking for the membership in a Group (OScript)

From time to time you have to check, if your user is member of a defined group. The UAPI.RightsListByID returns a list of all groups, in which the specified user is a member (directly or indirectly through membership in another group).

You can use something like this snipped in your function.

object uSession = request.prgCtx.fUSession 

dynamic uGroups 

if isDefined(uSession) && !isError(uSession)

 uGroups = UAPI.RightsListByID(uSession.fSession, uSession.fUserId)

 if isError(uGroups) 

   dynamic check = error.ErrorToString(uGroups) 

  end 

 end

The Dynamic check contains the RecArray of groups, in which the current user is a member.  This snipped is intended to be run from a request handler.

Making Configuration Values Cluster Safe

Normally, there is a file called “opentext.ini” in the config directory of your Content Server instance. This file contains a lot of configuration values.

A content server reads this file at boot time.

But, if you use a cluster of Content Servers, its a problem changing all “opentext.ini” files for a configuration value. And rebooting them will use a lot of down-time.

In a cluster, there is another option to store configuation values, the “KIni Table” in the database. This values are read immediately from the content server(s) and do not require a reboot.

From OScript, use the database storage like this

Retrieve a value (from the “MySoftware” Section)- Default Value 50, if this is not existing)

result = CAPI.IniGet(dbConnect.fLogin, ‘MySoftware’,‘StartJob’, 50)

Set a value ( sets StartJob value of MySoftware to 50)

result = CAPI.IniPut(dbConnect.fLogin, ‘NySoftware’,‘StartJob’, 50)

List all configuration values registered under MySoftware

result = CAPI.IniList(dbConnect.fLogin, ‘MySoftware’)

Delete a configuration value (deletes StartJob value from MySoftware)

result = CAPI.IniDelete(dbConnect.fLogin, ‘MySoftware’, ‘StartJob’)

 

The dbConnect.fLogin is the CAPICONNECT(the login object) to the database.
