Add users dynamically to Build Forge adapter


Jozef Vandenmooter (16332833) | asked Jul 23 '13, 8:29 a.m.
Does anyone know how to easily add people who did not make any code changes to the Build Forge notification list? The only way in which I got this to work is by adding them to the adapter's code.
I changed the following:
    <adduser group="MyChangers" user="$4"/>
To:
    <adduser group="MyChangers" user="userid_1"/>
    <adduser group="MyChangers" user="userid_2"/>
    <adduser group="MyChangers" user="userid_3"/>

However, this is very inconvenient:

Thanks,

Jozef

Just updating this thread with the fact that I submitted a PMR (07626,004,000) for the problem that the adaptor is no longer able to send a notification email to a group when switching to the MJC.

 There is .email, but that sends an step_email template email to a user.  There is no way to add them to a group temporarily for a notification.  The adaptor is the only way to do that.

Thanks for the reply. Is it possible to specify the name of a BF access group in the adapter somehow??

You can.
You will simply need to list the Access Group by name under the <adduser> element in the adaptor instead of a username.

ie:
<adduser group="MyChangers" user="Notify Group"/>

I'm disappointed to have to report that this does not work anymore when using the new Java engine... The value passed is not interpreted as a group anymore, but as a user, which of course does not exist.

Any ideas on how to get this back to work when using the MJC?

Thanks,

Jozef
