We have an user-entitlement relationship csv file for an application.

This file has two columns userid and accessdata where "accessdata" is a multivalued list of entitlements separated by comma.

Ex- userid,accessdata

"abc","ent1,ent2,ent3"

"xyz","ent4,ent2"

We want to parse this data on collection to represent the below one to one user-entitlement relationship

for ex- userid,accessdata

"abc","ent1"

"abc","ent2"

"abc","ent3"

"xyz","ent4" and so on.

But we are unable to do so. The same can be parsed easily if it is a oracle, mysql or ms sql db table/view.

But for csv the parsing fails everytime.

Any suggestions.

I asked a similar question a little while back and was given some suggestions to review but no one has said if it is possible with G&L.

The csv collector is using a hxtt driver
To test the capabilities and limitations of the driver, you can use Squirrel
RSA Identity G&L - Using SQL Squirrel v4.docx
How do I setup Squirrel SQL?

It's possible using GROUP_CONCAT function in HXTT (ref: HXTT Docs ). Here's an example:

Input file:
```
User,Value
u1,v1
u1,v2
u2,v2
u2,v3
```
Query:
```
select User, GROUP_CONCAT(Value SEPARATOR ',') as Value from test group by user
```
Output:
```
User,Value
"u1","v1,v2"
"u2","v2,v3"
```

  I think the requirement is the other way around
  
  Input file:
  User,Value
  "u1","v1,v2"
  "u2","v2,v3"
  Output:
  User,Value
  u1,v1
  u1,v2
  u2,v2
  u2,v3

  This seems to be a new feature just added to the latest version of the HXTT driver (reference HXTT Syntaxt - Split Multivalue Column Into Rows). Had this been included in the product, it would basically work like this.
  
  Input file.csv:
  userid,accessdata
  "abc","ent1,ent2,ent3"
  "xyz","ent4,ent2"
  
  Query:
  select file.userid, tmp.accessdata from file, (select split(file.accessdata,',') as accessdata) tmp
  
  Output:
  userid,accessdata
  "abc","ent1"
  "abc","ent2"
  "abc","ent3"
  "xyz","ent4"
  "xyz","ent2"
  
  You should either open a support case to request adding the latest version of HXTT to RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle. Or you can directly submit your idea to the new RSA Ideas for RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle space.

    I have opened an idea for supporting SFTP which essentially involves using the latest HXTT driver.
