Is there a way to programmatically create Scope objects from a rule?
I have created few from Global settings. Now my requirement is to create new scope from a rule.
Is that possible? If so, please share sample code

You can use a simple rule to execute it and create scopes


import sailpoint.object.Scope;

Scope newScope = new Scope();
newScope.setName("MyNewScope");
newScope.setDisplayName("MyScope DisplayName");
newScope.setManuallyCreated(true);

// If you want to set it in the hierarchy
newScope.setPath("SCOPE1/SCOPE2/SCOPE3");

Scope childScope = context.getObject(Scope.class,"ChildScope");

// If you want to make new scope a parent to already existing ones
newScope.setChildScopes(childScope);

context.saveObject(newScope);
context.commitTransaction();

@kjakubiak Thanks for your response, scope got created.
Although, the hierarchy doesn’t seem to be working. Below is what I tried

  Scope scope = new Scope();
  scope.setName("testScope");
  scope.setPath("All/testScope");
  scope.setManuallyCreated(true);
  
  context.saveObject(scope);
  context.commitTransaction();

It created testScope outside of parent ‘All’ (PFB screenshot)

I want testScope to be created inside ‘All’ scope

Tried below code as well @kjakubiak

  Scope allScope = context.getObjectByName(Scope.class,"All");
  String allScopePath = allScope.getPath();
  
  Scope newScope = new Scope();
  newScope.setName("testScope");

  context.saveObject(newScope);

  newScope.setPath(allScopePath + ":" + newScope.getId());
  newScope.setManuallyCreated(true);
  newScope.setAssignedScopePath(allScopePath + ":" + newScope.getId());
  
  context.saveObject(newScope);
  context.commitTransaction();

Still the hierarchy doesn’t seem to work

The object from debug page looks correct, but on UI it doesn’t seem to be working

I think you have to use

List childScopes = allScope.getChildScopes();
childScopes.add(scope);
allScope.setChildScopes(childScopes);

and save allScope object.

@kjakubiak Hi, thanks for your response
Tried your suggestion, but it gave me below error:
Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect) : [sailpoint.object.Scope#c0a81dec91b61df18191b832572402d1] BSF info: Run Rule 1 - Create Scope at line: 0 column: columnNo

The code I tried is

  Scope allScope = context.getObjectByName(Scope.class,"All");
  List childScopes = allScope.getChildScopes();
  String allScopePath = allScope.getPath();

  Scope newScope = new Scope();
  newScope.setName("testScope");
  newScope.setManuallyCreated(true);

  context.saveObject(newScope); // to generate id of newScope

  newScope.setPath(allScopePath + ":" + newScope.getId());
  newScope.setAssignedScopePath(allScopePath + ":" + newScope.getId());
  
  childScopes.add(scope);
  allScope.setChildScopes(childScopes);

  context.saveObject(newScope);
  context.commitTransaction();

Works for me quite good - you have typo in your code
childScopes.add(scope); it should be childScopes.add(newScope);

I just created two testScope scopes in the Berlin scope with this code after fixing the typo.
