FIM ScriptBox Item

Summary

FIM 2010 can be extended with custom WF activities.  Try it out using the TechNet guide:

How to: Create a Custom Logging Activity and Deploy it to the FIM Portal

One of the challenges with creating (for me at least) is getting the details of the Activity Information Configuration object correct.

The script below takes the details directly from the WF DLL that you've built.  Just point it to the DLL file and it will figure out the details then create the object in FIM for you.

### Load the FIM Cmdlets
###
if(@(get-pssnapin | where-object {$_.Name -eq "FIMAutomation"} ).count -eq 0) {add-pssnapin FIMAutomation}

Function Create-FimImportObject
{
PARAM($objectType)
END

if ($object.Changes -eq $null) {$object.Changes = (,$importChange)}
else {$object.Changes += $importChange}
}
}

###
### Load the assembly to get the required details
###
Copy file://tsclient/q/Scratch/LoggingActivityLibrary/bin/Debug/LoggingActivityLibrary.dll
$ass = [reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("LoggingActivityLibrary.dll")
$TypeName = $ass.GetTypes() | where {$($_.BaseType).Name -ieq 'ActivitySettingsPart'} | select -ExpandProperty FullName
$ActivityName = $ass.GetTypes() | where {$($_.BaseType).Name -ieq 'SequenceActivity'} | select -ExpandProperty FullName
$AssemblyName = $ass.FullName

###
### Create the Activity Information Configuration
###
$fimAIC = Create-FimImportObject -objectType "ActivityInformationConfiguration"
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "DisplayName" -attributeValue $ActivityName
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "Description" -attributeValue $ActivityName
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "ActivityName" -attributeValue $ActivityName
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "AssemblyName" -attributeValue $AssemblyName
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "TypeName" -attributeValue $TypeName
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "IsActionActivity" -attributeValue $true
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "IsAuthenticationActivity" -attributeValue $false
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "IsAuthorizationActivity" -attributeValue $false
Set-FimAttribute -object $fimAIC -attributeName "IsConfigurationType" -attributeValue $true

###
### Send the request to FIM
### !!!This does not require the assembly to be in the GAC!!!
### So don't forget to use gacutil.exe to load it
### Or enjoying troubleshooting THAT issue ;-)
###
$fimAIC | Import-FIMConfig
