IPS - transformation - adding a user to a group using patch

[arturka]

Hi all.
In out IAS tenant users are created by replication from SF.
Now we have requirement to update nickname and groups for some users. It should be done by replication from ABAP system.
Base on docs https://help.sap.com/docs/identity-provisioning/identity-provisioning/patched-and-merged-attributes?...  we have prepared a patch transformation. 
It works if only nickName is updated 

{
    "user": {
        "mappings": [
            {
                "sourcePath": "$",
                "targetPath": "$"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.id",
                "type": "remove"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.id",
                "sourceVariable": "entityIdTargetSystem"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.schemas",
                "type": "remove"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.schemas[0]",
                "constant": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:core:2.0:User"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.schemas[1]",
                "constant": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:enterprise:2.0:User"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.schemas[2]",
                "constant": "urn:ietf:params:scim:schemas:extension:sap:2.0:User"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.emails[0].primary",
                "condition": "$.emails[0].length() > 0",
                "constant": true
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.meta",
                "type": "remove"
            },
            {
                "constant": "userName",
                "targetVariable": "entityCorrelationAttributeName"
            },
            {
                "sourcePath": "$.userName",
                "targetVariable": "entityCorrelationAttributeValue"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.schemas[0]",
                "constant": "urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.meta",
                "type": "remove",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[0].op",
                "condition": "$.nickName EMPTY false",
                "constant": "add",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[0].path",
                "condition": "$.nickName EMPTY false",
                "constant": "nickName",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "sourcePath": "$.nickName",
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[0].value",
                "condition": "$.nickName EMPTY false",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[1].op",
                "constant": "add",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            }
        ]
    }
}

The problem occurs when we want to update the group

following code is added to the transformation 

            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[1].op",
                "constant": "add",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[1].path",
                "constant": "groups",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            },
            {
                "targetPath": "$.Operations[1].value",
                "constant": "xxxxxx-7f28-4b83-9aaf-xxxxxx",
                "scope": "patchEntity"
            }

And error is generated

Question, how to prepare correct transformation for user group update?

To Build Transformation between Source & Target Systems JSON Path will save your time and make you better to build.. Paste your JSON payload from source system and identify the path to update in your Transformation to Target Systems fields. Kindly refer the below blog which will speed your build. https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-blogs-by-sap/understanding-of-sap-ips-transformation-logic-t... https://jsonpath.com
