!!!Very Urgent-Production Issue -Please help

Question

Hello IDMers,
We are facing an issue in production, we updated the AD Process form yesterday. Two fields- Employee Type and Employee ID field in AD User Process form got refreshed for all existing users. Those two fields are empty now for all users.
But these fields have appropriate value in the Xellerate User Table for all users. Now I need to some how populate the Employee Type and Employee ID field for all employees from User Table to AD Process form.
for example: Consider an Employee called Peter- His emp type is Full Time and Emp ID is 100; which i have it in OIM User Table, but this user is provisioned with AD and now i will have to update his AD Process form so that these two fields are populated. I need to do this for all users in OIM. I guess the prepop adapter triggers only when the form is created for the first time. Please suggest me some ideas.
Is there a easy way to do this task?
What my thinking is, I need to have a scheduled task that basically loops through all users and updates their employee type and id field in AD User Form from Xellerate User Table.
Please help me with this as it is highly important.
Thanks again every one for your support all the while.
Regards,

Answer 1

hey,
i was doing lots of migration from one OIM box to another during our last release. I guess something would have gone wrong while doing an import/export from one OIM system to another.
What I learned was while doing an import the vulnerable object is AD USER (or any resource of OIM) Object (both Process form and process definition), because those are the two objects which you need to import fully no matter how big a change you have done.
So when you do an import watch out for USER DEFINED FIELDS in the process form because for me the two fields which disappeared were user defined/custom created by me. So make sure you export the latest version;even if you didnt make any changes to them better create a new version copy of the form and then export it.
Hope that helps.
