Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

Cary,

I have the Jython equivalent on Github[1].

It looks like you just import 
`edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.app.loader.GrouperLoader`.
Then call `GrouperLoader.runJobOnceForGroup(session, group)` where session is 
the Grouper session and group is the group object.

Subject: [grouper-users] recipe to "start a loader job" from a Java 
application

Hello all,

I am hopeful that someone could share the recipe to "start a loader job" from 
a Java application using the Grouper API.
        REF: 
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Loader+add+new+job
        ...
        Log in to the daemon server where you run GSH:
        ....
        "
        gsh 0% grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
        edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.GrouperSession: 
96f3d78c030b45f1b43f5d5d4a598448,'GrouperSystem','application'
        gsh 1% loaderGroup = GroupFinder.findByName(grouperSession, 
"some:group");
        gsh 2% loaderRunOneJob(loaderGroup);
        "
I likely can rip apart the gsh environment/code to work this out on my own. 
But I thought I would ask in case someone already has the recipe already 
worked out. :)  And after all, maybe others will have the same question in 
the future too. :)


I am looking for the ingredients list of:
        Include these jars/config files/paths in your app.
        Use this/these class(es)/methods....

The app will be running from one of the Grouper servers. So the code will 
have access to all of the grouper config/files/secretes.



Why? ( I heard you ask that. )
        I am working on a "how to load lots of data process" and I want to 
dove tail the end of the "load lots of data" (into a cache of RDMBS tables) 
with the "start of the loader job" (to ingest the data into grouper).
        Yes, I could likely write more code and do what the loader would do 
with those tables. However, that process is already written. If I can define 
the job(s) then just start them. I think that would be "close enough" to 
"in-line" for me. :)  ( Well, for now. )

Thanks in advance.
