Anonymize a Veritas NSS User using vRO SOAP

17 May 2023Updated 1 Nov 20261 min read53 views

System.log("Creating request...");
var request = operation.createSOAPRequest();

request.setInParameter("userId",userId);

System.log("Invoking '" + operation.name + "' operation...");
var response = operation.invoke(request);
System.log("Operation '" + operation.name + "' successfully invoked.");
