A run on resource script runs directly on the target resource that is managed by the connector.

A sample run on resource script for a connector that connects to DS over REST is provided in `openidm/samples/scripted-rest-with-dj/tools/ScriptOnResourceScript.groovy`.

* Input variables

  The following variables are available to a run on resource script:

  * configuration

    A handler to the connector's configuration object.

  * options

    A handler to the Operation Options.

  * operation

    An OperationType that corresponds to the action (`RUNSCRIPTONRESOURCE`).

  * arguments

    The `arguments (Map)` of the script (can be `null`).

  * log

    A logger instance for the connector.

* Returns

  Any object that is returned by the script.

Run on Resource Script

```groovy
import groovyx.net.http.RESTClient
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient
import org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.scriptedrest.ScriptedRESTConfiguration
import org.forgerock.openicf.connectors.groovy.OperationType
import org.identityconnectors.common.logging.Log
import org.identityconnectors.framework.common.objects.OperationOptions

def operation = operation as OperationType
def configuration = configuration as ScriptedRESTConfiguration
def httpClient = connection as HttpClient
def connection = customizedConnection as RESTClient
def log = log as Log
def options = options as OperationOptions
def scriptArguments = scriptArguments as Map
def scriptLanguage = scriptLanguage as String
def scriptText = scriptText as String
```
