Please view the article for a scenario where Lookup DSC is demonstrated: Find Out Details About the Last Form User.
Component: com.avoka.livecycle.lookup 1.0
Lookup Service
Lookup: The Lookup Service is able to query LiveCycle's user management system to find information about a particular group or user. If LiveCycle happens to be synchronized with an LDAP directory then this service can find information about LDAP users and groups as well. This is extremely useful, simple utility where we know the person's login ID, and need to find out his/her emails address, or we know the name of a group but don't know who that group's members are (or their email addresses). If we can find that user or group, this service can give us their directory information as well (e.g. Phone number, Address, Organisation etc.).
Operation Title: Lookup User (lookupUser)
Lookup User: Find a user using specified search parameters. Should these search parameters actually find more than one user then only the first matching user gets returned.

| Type of Query |
java.lang.String |
This specifies what field you want to use to lookup for a user: Auto, Email, User Principal ID, Login ID, or UserAndDomain. |
Input GUI |
| Any User Identifier |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'Auto' query type. The identifier specified will be used in trying to lookup for the workflow user first as a user Principal ID, followed by login ID, user canonical name, and user email address, in respective order.
This 'mode' allows you to lookup for workflow user with any user identifier that you have and you are not sure of what it is. The identifier will be used to try to lookup for the workflow user with matching user principal ID, matching user login ID, or matching user email address in respective order. That is, the identifier provided will be used as a user principal ID to lookup for a matching workflow user. If no matching user is found, it will then be used as a user login ID, and lastly as an email address, to try to find a matching workflow user. |
Input GUI |
| User Canonical Name |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'UserAndDomain' query type. Together with domain name, it will be used in looking up for the workflow user with matching user canonical name and domain name.
User Canonical Name and Domain Name uniquely identify a user in the Adobe user manager system. |
Input GUI |
| Domain Name |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'UserAndDomain' query type. Together with user canonical name, it will be used in looking up for the workflow user with matching user canonical name and domain name. |
Input GUI |
| User Principal ID |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'User Principal ID' query type, to lookup for the workflow user with matching User Principal ID.
The principal ID is a universally unique identifier (UUID) consists of a long string of hexadecimal digits generated by an algorithm to ensure of its uniqueness. This is an example of a UUID:
16A5386E-6B5F-EDD0-FECE-293A97CC854A |
Input GUI |
| Email |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'Email' query type, to lookup for the workflow user with matching email address.
Since it is possible that more than one users have the same email address, this query type could match more than one workflow users, and only the first workflow user will be returned. |
Input GUI |
| Login ID |
java.lang.String |
This field is required when you select 'Login ID' query type, to lookup for the workflow user with matching login ID.
Login ID is also used by the adobe user manager systems as a universally unique user ID string. |
Input GUI |
| Test |
Test Panel |
If the input user search parameters were literal values (as opposed to XPath expressions accessing variable values) then this panel can be used to test their efficacy. Pressing the 'Test' button will produce results in the display pane. |
