Accessing AL components inside the AssemblyLine

Each AL component is available as a pre-registered script variable with the name you chose for the component.

Note that we can dynamically load components with scripted calls to functions like system.getConnector(), although this is for experienced users.¹

Scripting in an AssemblyLine

¹ The Connector object you get from this call is a Connector Interface object, and is the data source specific part of an AssemblyLine Connector. When you change the type of any Connector, you are actually swapping out its data source intelligence (the Connector Interface) which provides the functionality for accessing data on a specific system, service or data store. Most of the functionality of an AssemblyLine Connector, including the attribute maps, Link Criteria and Hooks, is provided by the Security Directory Integrator kernel and is kept intact when you switch Connector types.
