CSV file containing data to be collected by Identity Data Collection
In the example below, lines 2, 3, 7 and 9 have the emploees' first names and last names in all capital letters. These need to be formatted with a capitalized first letter of the word during collection (Michael Jackson vs. MICHAEL JACKSON).

The Oracle INITCAP function returns a character string with the first letter of each word converted to uppercase (also called title case).All other letters in the string are converted to lowercase.
The Oracle INITCAP function works as expected in Oracle SQL Developer.

To format this correctly in RSA Via L&G,
- Convert the string to lowercase using LOWER, then apply the INITCAP function.
INITCAP(LOWER(FIRSTNAME)) AS FIRSTNAME
INITCAP(LOWER(LASTNAME)) AS LASTNAME
- Modify the collector definition "User Data Query" as follows:

- Run the collection and verify that the raw data are formatted correctly now; that is, that the first and last names' first letter is capitalized.
