Script Action: Delete variable
Function
Delete a specific variable from the list with variables. If a the value
of a variable is no longer valid, it might be a good idea to delete the
variable so it can not accidentally be used in subsequent script actions.
Deployment
The execution of certain actions might invalidate the value of certain
variables. To prevent incorrect usage of these variables, the variables
can be deleted with this action. Example: Suppose a script is used to
move a user account
from one domain to another domain in the same forest. The target user
account has a number of properties, for instance the Security Identifier
(SID). The SID can be used in User Management to setup
directory permissions. Now suppose the user account must be moved,
and then the home directory must be moved to another location. For the
new home directory, permissions must be setup. The script actions involved
are:
|
Script action |
Description |
|
Get user (AD) |
Bind to the user account. The user account
and the security identifier are exported in variables (%UserObject%, (%UserSid%) |
|
Move - rename user (AD) |
Move the user account to the new domain in
the same forest. The variable %UserSid% now becomes invalid since a new
Security Identifier is generated for the moved user account. |
|
Copy directory |
Copy the original home directory to the new
location and setup the new security settings using variable %UserSid%. |
|
Delete directory |
Delete the original home directory. |
In this example, the variable %UserSid% is no longer valid, once the
user is moved and cannot be used to setup the new security settings for
the target home directory. Instead, the variable %UserSid% should be deleted.
Then a new Get user (AD) action should be used to determine the new
value of the SID.
In more complicated scripts, you might want to delay certain operations.
For instance before an operation is retried or to limit network load.
For this purpose, this action can be used. The action simply suspends
the script for the specified time. Note that during this time, the script
cannot be aborted.
