Error msg "No DN generated by the object placement
policy"

Hi

I want to create groups objects in the IDVault using Delimited Text and
they are placed according to different Service. I did the same method as
for creating users in the IDVault with the modification on the Object
Class Name which I set as 'Group'. I encountered the error message
"Code (-9064) No DN generated by the object placement policy.". Below
is the placement policy I have set:

Condition: 
if class name equal "Group" AND if attribute 'Service' available

Actions:
set local
variable("dest-base",scope="policy","TREENAME\People&qu
ot;)

set operation destination DN(dn(Local Variable("dest-base") +
"\" +
Attribute("Service") + "\" + "Groups" +
"\" + Escape Destination
DN(Unique
Name("CN",counter-pattern="last",counter-use="fallback&
quot;,on-unavailable="error",scope="subtree",Lowercase(Opera
tion
Attribute("CN"))))))

Basically, the above placement policy is to place the groups to the
respective Service with the CN = [Group ID]. The fields I have for my
delimited text file are Service, CN, FullName, Description. Wonder
anyone knows what is wrong with it?

Thanks
Alan

yesyys,

Could you re-post with a snippet of the Level 3 Trace showing the XDS Document 
that is produced after the Placement Policy has run

Make sure you include the document that goes into the policy as well.

Hi

I managed to get rid of the previous error by changing a parameter in
the InputTransformSS file from 'User' to 'Group'. Is it correct to do
this?

Though the error has gone, I have another error message. Below is a
partial trace log I have gathered. Wonder what I have done wrong that
incurred this error? Initially I thought I have indicated CN as one of
the field which the object class 'Group' does not have the attribute
'CN', so I changed it to 'otherName' which an attribute I have created
and added to the object class 'Group'. However it did not solve the
problem. Pls help.

As long as the only thing you are syncing on the publisher channel with 
that instance of the driver, then that should be fine. You also could 
have changed the schema mapping policy. If you are doing other object 
classes as well, then would need to do something more sophisticated that 
set the class based on the data in the incoming file.

otherName is not an attribute - it is just how the UI presents the 
additional values CN that are not the name of the object.

Since the error in the trace you posted likely comes from using 
otherName, it is difficult to say for sure what your original problem 
was, but there is another problem that is revealed by this trace.

You have an attribute coming in (mindefService) that apparently is part 
of an aux class (mindefUser), but the aux class can't be added because 
(at least) one of the required attributes of mindefUser (mindefUnit), is 
   not being added with the group. This could be your original problem, 
but it's hard to say without seeing the complete original trace.
