Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Hey,

Thanks in advance for all your patience here.  Unfortunately storing the 
group detail is not implemented yet.  Yes, that is confusing.  This is on my 
list of to do's, and Im not sure when that will be done.  Hopefully for 1.4, 
but not sure.  Is it a priority for you?

To do's: "persist group detail when saving groups (including attributes)"

Are you up and running with GSH?  This is an easy way to assign a group type 
to a group, and add the grouper loader attributes.  Or the UI could be used 
as well.

I have some GSH commands for making a grouper loader group here:

https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/GrouperWG/Grouper+-+Loader

group=getGroups("aStem:aGroup2")
groupAddType("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoader")
setGroupAttr("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoaderDbName", "grouper")
setGroupAttr("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoaderType", "SQL_SIMPLE")
setGroupAttr("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoaderScheduleType", 
"START_TO_START_INTERVAL")
setGroupAttr("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoaderQuery", "select SUBJECT_ID, 
SUBJECT_SOURCE_ID from agroup2_v")
setGroupAttr("aStem:aGroup2", "grouperLoaderIntervalSeconds", "30")

Kind regards,
Chris
