Check in view changes Untouched attributes of a resource

Question

Hi
As part of a requirment to update an existing user attribute on the resource i am doing thhe follwoing
- I am doing a Check out view from a resource
- Assigning a value to the attibute "userview.accounts[resource].suspend = false"
- and doing a check in view
But the porblem im finding is along with suspend attribute the other attibute on the resource like name, desg etc.. get changed
I have double checked my code, honestly no where i have touched the other attributes of the resource
am i doing somthing wrong, or is there a better way to update a single attribute on a single resource without touching other attributes .
Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

hi
I am not doing any bulk action, actually its a simple update to a existing account.
But after checking thru the trace, looks like i have found the cause.
In the schema of Resource xml i have the maping somthing linke this
fullname < ---- > Resource Name
"fullname" is an attribute in Light house user object. and this value is getting assigned to Resource Name. again, im not assigning any such value or neither im modifiying the attribute Resource Name during update.
Still im not clear why this attribute value is picked as global value.
let me know if this is a default behaviour of IdM,
thanks R, and thank u all guys for ur support
