Hi All,
I have trying for a while to sync supervisor details(first_name,last_name and email_address) to the one of the target but as we do not have any attribute which holds these details in user attributes, I need to query it in workflow and then pass it to AFX handler. I have created 2 variables but the same is not getting synced.
Can someone help me out here ?
I am using default AFX workflow (just added one sql node to fetch supervisor details in it).
Boris,
The target for me is an application where we have 3 variables in account that stores the supervisor name,supervisor_email etc. When we sync the account details, I am able to sync First_name and last_name of the user. I am facing problem only with the supervisor details as it is not stored in any custom attribute of the Identity
How about collecting supervisor details to new user attributes?
I collected the supervisor name but I am not sure how to collect the supervisor email as it is coming from another collector(AD) and then getting unified.
If I understand correctly, you don't have the Supervisors distinguishedName to update the manager attribute in AD.
As Boris said you can store this in a separate attribute or add a node in attribute sync workflow to calculate this only in case of supervisor being updated for a user.
Example of the latter.
Hi Pradeep,
My target is not AD, what i meant is that my user's email are coming up from AD(secondary IDC), I use it just to unify my data and map AD attributes to the user data.
My target is another application(mainframe) where I want to sync the details of every user's supervisor who has account in it.
The user has a supervisor attribute which is the user ID. The above logic is similar except you want to update sme other usr attributes.
Using this you can query the PV_USERS table in the attribute sync workflow and get first name , last name and other attributes of the supervisor and then send t to the provisioning command to update in the target system.
I might be missing something here, but supervisor is like any other user.
If the first name (or last name or any other value) is changed in the authoritative source, the system is able to detect it and sync it to a specified end point without the need to fetch values from the DB (as all the user attributes are available)
