LiveCycle Workbench ES Help 
Creating Processes > Variable types reference

Variable types reference

This section provides descriptions of all the predefined types of process variables that you can create using Adobe LiveCycle Workbench ES, version 8.2. This section also provides the format to use for expressing the literal values of the variables when possible, such as in XPath expressions.

Note:   The properties of the int, boolean, long, double, decimal, short, and float types are the same as the properties of the Java primitive data types of the same name.

Service-defined data types

Some services require data as input and provide output data that are represented by a data type that the service defines. For example, the Output service returns operation results as data of type OutputResult.

The variables described in this section are not available for all services.

Complex data types

Complex data types store more than one data item. The data items appear below the variable in the process data model.

The data items that a complex variable stores are accessible using XPath expressions in the following format:

   /process_data/variable_name/object/@data_item

variable_name is the name of the variable, and data_item is the name of the data item.

Note:   If the data item is a list or map variable, you use a different expression for accessing the data. (See Accessing data in data collections.)

It seems there is no reference for the variable types:

- UserSearchFilter
- GroupSearchFilter

Please add them to the list or send me a information about these to varaible data types.

Thanks,
Rolando

Hi Rolando,

those data types weren't documented because (in the 8.2.1 version) you can't actually use them as input values or output values for any service operations. Here is the information that you wanted, I hope it is sufficient for your purposes

Scott

---------------------------------

UserSearchFilter

A complex data type that represents criteria for searching user accounts. The data items of this variable type can be used to configure the Filter properties of the Find User operation that the User Lookup service provides.

The descriptions of the Filter properties of the Find User operation also apply to the data items in this variable type.

The commonName data item corresponds with the Name property.
The email data item corresponds with the Email property.
The principalOid data item corresponds with the Universal ID property.
The userId data item corresponds with the Login Id property.

See http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/001319.html and click Filter to see the property descriptions for the Find User operation.

---------------------------------

GroupSearchFilter

A complex data type that represents criteria for searching user groups. The data items of this variable type can be used to configure the Filter properties of the Find Group operation that the User Lookup service provides.

The descriptions of the Filter properties of the Find Group operation also apply to the data items in this variable type.

The commonName data item corresponds with the Name property.
The principalOid data item corresponds with the Universal ID property.

See http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/001317.html and click Filter to see the property descriptions for the Find Group operation.

Where are the definitions? There aren't any lists of variables on this page.
Scott Brodersen said on Sep 21, 2009 at 7:24 AM :
You're right, the links should be listed on this page. The topics do exist, and they are in the Contents. They are subtopics of this topic.

If the Contents aren't showing, click the leftmost button on the toolbar above the topic (It looks like a little rectangle when a triangle next to it). This exposes the navigation frame.

Now that leftmost button is replaced with a different button -- it looks like a couple of arrows that form a circle. Press that button to see the location of the current topic in the Contents.

In Contents, click Variable Types Reference to see the list of variable type topics.

Hope that helps
scott
