I created my web service to create, update and delete users from one of our systems.

Now I am to create MA to use my web service and export users into that system, there is no need to import!

I tried to use web service configuration tool but had lots of errors and could not find an example of configuring run profiles.

Now I am trying to write Extensible Conectivity 2.0 Management Agent. I need help as there is no examples available for how to call/use web service in MA.

Thanks

Hello Emadina
You need a web service reference in your Management Agent Extension code to get access to the exposed functions.
And you not only need functions to create/modify/delete objects, you also need a function to read the objects from the custom data source for two reasons:
a) to be able to join your existing objects
b) for confirming imports.

I think the best point to start your own Extensible Management Agent extension is the following link:

Hi!

I would consider writing a Custom workflow activity instead if i only wanted to have trigger that calls a web service and did not care about life cycle management for that system.

This is a good way to get going:

If you can get at your webservice using PowerShell, you could give my PowerShell MA a go (http://blog.goverco.com/p/powershell-management-agent.html) instead of writing up your own ECMA (unless you want to learn how to write an MA, of course)

Calling a webservice from an ECMA is just the same as calling from any other C# / VB .NET code - this shouldn't be FIM spe

Let me add some personal notes here.

Now you have three Options.

a) write an Extensible MA

b) write a workflow activity

c) use Powershell MA

Debugging is easier in a) and b).  

a) and c) are state-based while b) is event driven. You have to extra maintain export Errors.

maintaining changes later on is best using Sorens MA just by simply changing some lines in a script. No need for compiling and distributing DLLs.
