updating an attribute based on another SAP IDM

[pbadalinc]

Hi IDM ers

i have a custom text boolean(Presentation) attribute ZMX_CONTRACTOR whose value depends on if MX_FS_WORK_CONTRACT_ID is populated or not.

if populated value = 1 if empty value=0

I use it in the search user form as a checkbox for contractor search.

what would be best way to implement?

i tried below sql for attribute values >sql query . it doesnot update in IDM. the syntax is Oracle specific:

select count(*) from dual where exists (select * from idmv_VALlINK_EXT2 where MCATTRNAME = 'MXFS_WORK_CONTRACT_ID' )

any help would be appreciated

Hi Prasad,

the changetype in both passes should be modify! AFAIK there is no changetype insert and changetype delete means that you delete the object which is the MX_PERSON you selected.

I assume that you are using IDStore self for your selections?

Did you already add the custom attribute ZMX_CONTRACTOR and make it available for entrytype MX_PERSON?

The assignment in the add pass should be ZMX_CONTRACTOR: 1 because there is no value set for %ZMX_CONTRACTOR% which would result into the attribute (flag) not being set.

The assignment in the delete pass should be ZMX_CONTRACTOR: %% to empty/delete the attribut (flag).

As for your SQL-Queries please test them thoroughly and then use them for your sources. I cannot help much in this regard because I have a different data set.

If you have further questions please add a screenshot of your passes for source and destination. And please be more specific about the problems you have.

Regards,

Alex

Alex:

thanks for quick reply.

yes there is a change type "insert" . it works. the reason for insert is- the record is missing when i query view IDMV_VALUE_BASIC and only appears in sql on view when "Modify Identity" form is submitted after populating "MX_FS_WORK_CONTRACT_ID" .and record is deleted when i remodify Identity with empty string in "MX_FS_WORK_CONTRACT_ID". so unless i use another view the setting of "ZMX_CONTRACTOR" works.

im more interested in tuning the resetting pass of the "ZMX_CONTRACTOR" flag in job

Answer to your questions

I assume that you are using IDStore self for your selections? YES

Did you already add the custom attribute ZMX_CONTRACTOR and make it available for entrytype MX_PERSON? YES

The assignment in the add pass should be ZMX_CONTRACTOR: 1 because there is no value set for %ZMX_CONTRACTOR% which would result into the attribute (flag) not being set. YES THANKS I FIGURED THAT

The assignment in the delete pass should be ZMX_CONTRACTOR: %% to empty/delete the attribute (flag). YES THANKS

I also wanted to try the Process/TASK/Script way of doing things. any help there would be appreciated.

Thanks
