I am trying to create multiple application collector to collect information for about 10 applications. Out of these ten, four applications belong to one category. Their application attribute would be starting with map_% (actual names like map_team, map_gst, map_tst & map_full)
1. How to map application attribute to an application using multi-app collector? Is it via the custom attribute?
2. Is it possible to bring in multiple application attribute values for single application using MADC?
Hi Alex
Thanks a bunch for your response. I can think about creating a CSV format for App Metadata Collector for new application creation.
Got the answer to my original questions,
1. Yes mapping custom application name is via custom attribute and business source attribute
2. No, it is not possible to have multiple apps or approle names to act as single application in RSA IGL. It should be a single value.
One thing to check / be aware of - unless IGL has changed this very recently you can only collect & apply values for OOTB application attributes using a metadata collector … you cannot update custom attributes.
Bit pants IMHO but there it is. I would double-check before you go too far.
Hi Mekala,
Are you looking to amend metadata for a directory or application within IGL, rather than collecting multiple applications' data sources in a single collector? If so, you probably want to take a look at the App Metadata Collector:
To map the metadata, you would write the query against your metadata source and then allocate the fields as you would in any other data collector. The collector allows you to use any attribute listed against the application in IGL as the matching criteria - name would be the obvious one, but if all applications in a specific business unit had a business owner for example, the business unit name may be used.
For multiple values, the obvious way to do it is to concatenate the values. Typically, IGL only allows attributes to be set to a specific value unless they are specifically created to allow arrays of data.
Cheers,
Alex.
