Delete User in different location

Hi

Some background description: I created an workflow such that when I
created an OU=module1 in a container (OU=Applications), an account is
created in another container (OU=Application Accounts). So if I create
another OU=module2 in the container (OU=Applications) , another account
is created in the container (OU=Application Accounts). See below for a
clearer picture.

OU=module1, OU=Applications     cn=module1, OU=Application Accounts
OU=module2, OU=Applications     cn=module2, OU=Application Accounts
.                                            .
.                                            .
OU=module5, OU=Applications     cn=module5, OU=Application Accounts

I want to create another workflow such that if I delete the OU=module1
in the container (OU=Applications), the account (CN=module1) in the
container (OU=Application Accounts) is also deleted. The problem I
faced is I do not know how to formulate the Entity dn for deleting the
account (CN=module1) as the account is in different container. For
deleting the OU=module1, I know the Entity dn is set as
"flowdata.get('start/request_form/ou'). Please help. Thanks in
advance.

Alan

You will need to parse 'start/request_form/ou' to extract module1 value, 
regular expression would be of help here. Use a mapping activity to 
create the new flowdata with the value, say called objectName

Then your DN expression will be:

Hi

How to parse 'start/request_form/ou' to extract module1 value? Using
JavaScript? I have no experience in writing JavaScript. Mind to write a
sample script on extracting the value for my reference?

U mentioned about using the mapping activity to create the new
flowdata. There is Source Expression and Target Expression. I have read
the documentation on the mapping actvity. I am not very clear of what I
should put in the Source Expression and Target Expression for this
situation.

Thanks

The Target expression is the variable you want to create and the source 
is the expression of where the value you will put in the target.

So if you have a input with the new module such as:

flowdata.newlocaion


Your source expression will be something like:

(function () {
  var newName = flowdata.get('newlocation').toString().match(/OU=(.*),.*/);
  return newName[0];
})();

Target: flowdata.newName

You may want to get a good JavaScript reference (O'Rielly books are 
usally pretty good) or find something online. Also google can be a good 
tool to find code examples.

Also look into training on the Roles Based Provisioning Module. This 

Hi

Sorry, pardon me for my inexperience in the JavaScript. May I know what
is to be put inside the match () function? Is it something like below?

(function () {
var newName =
flowdata.get("start/request_form/orgUnit").toString().match("OU=m
odule*");
return newName[0];  
})();

I got error message "Dataitem [MAP0] with expression [...] failed to
evaluate. I know the match () function is to match a string inside the
bracket against some string specified. for example, 

var str="Hello world!";
document.write(str.match("world") + "<br />");

Output: world
