OIM11gR2 Using the old Thor interfaces

Sometimes you need to use the old Thor interfaces for getting information from the system. Lookups are one of these items, and that will be the example used here.

Also see my other posting OIM How to pull an IT Resource Parameter

Import the resource:

import Thor.API.Operations.tcLookupOperationsIntf;

Define the interface (spell something differently, in this case I used lower case L in lookup):

tcLookupOperationsIntf tclookupOperationsIntf =null;

Get the service:

tclookupOperationsintf = Platform.getService(tcLookupOperationsIntf.class);

Optionally you can do this all in one line.  You should null check the returned value.

Here's a completed task that just checks to see if a value is in a list:

Thor.API.tcResultSet rs=null;
try {
  rs=tclookupOperationsIntf.getLookupValues(validAccountLookup);
  int rowcount=rs.getRowCount();
  for (int irow=0; irow < rowcount; ++irow) {
    rs.goToRow(irow);
    String codeKey=rs.getStringValue
      ("Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Code Key");
    String decode=rs.getStringValue
      ("Lookup Definition.Lookup Code Information.Decode");
    if (appInstanceName.equals(codeKey)) {
      logger.logp(Level.FINE, getClass().getName(), methodName,
        "Found "+appInstanceName+" in row "+irow+", returning true");
      return true;
    }
  }
}

I left out all of the checks and catches, just showing functional code.
