Had a question recently,
We need to change the userIDs of many users. Can this be done in bulk?
Yes and ARSXML to the rescue.
In default location C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand\V10.5\xml\samples are dozens of xml samples.
For this case there is this xml file, updateusers.xml:
<!-- Change the user name -->
<user
name="SampleUser3"
newName="SampleUser3New">
</user>
If I want to see all of the possible attributes that can be changed via ARSXML I can take a look at C:\Program Files\IBM\OnDemand\V10.5\xml\ondemand.xsd.
In there I see:
<xs:element name="user">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:element name="permission" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="task" type="taskString" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="user" type="stringLen1-128" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="group" type="stringLen1-128" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="adminAuthority" type="yesnoString" use="optional"/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:choice>
<xs:attribute name="name" type="stringLen1-128" use="required"/>
<xs:attribute name="newName" type="stringLen1-128" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="uid" type="uidValue" use="optional"/>
<xs:attribute name="updateDate" type="xs:string" use="optional"/>
etc etc
Also, one can do an export and then look at the resultant xml.
That will give a basic example of how one might structure xml when wanting to do adds or updates.
