Adding custom attributes to UME user

[Former Member]

I have created a UME user using the code listed here.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/snippets/createandeditEPuserwithJava+cod

For e.g. i have an attribute, BusinessPartner, associated with the user.

How can i add it to the user information?

Please go through this link. I think this one is more appropriate as per your requirement:

I have actually set some attribute using this code.

userMaint.setAttribute("MyNamespace", "MyAttribute", "12345");

and i can retrieve it using

String[] myString = epUser.getAttribute("MyNamespace", "MyAttribute");

for (int i = 0; i < myString.length; i++) {

messageMgr.reportSuccess("MyAttribute is: "+myString<i>);

}

I did not do any settings in the portal or what.

So what is the disadvantage of this solution?
