Event Agents (eg Database and Active Directory)

Question

Hi
Is there any documentation on external event agents and their corresponding arguments?
I'm wondering how I can monitor for changes on a specific table (eg. change of a phonenumber).
On the other side, we would like to "monitor" for changes in actice directory.
Thanks Martin

Hi Martin,
let's do some steps to monitor your column in the table:
1. New -> Event agent. The wizard opens.
2. Select your database repository (you mentioned that you've already have one)
3. Select "Database Table Field"
4. Type in a name
5. Type in the table name and the column name below
6. Select the job you want to execute
7. After the wizard has finished: Select your service or first create a new one if you haven't done this already (have a look at the documentation)
The job you have selected could have a to Identity Store Pass.
- Source tab: The table you are monitoring
- Destination tab: Select the entry types and attributes for which you do the mapping.
- Delta tab: It's important to enable delta. Then you will get the information about new, modified or deleted entries. With a delta, already existing values are not imported again.
To get the information about changes in detail, you could create more tasks with jobs below, which you call, when changes occur.
- Create action tasks in your Identity Store. These tasks will get the added/modified/deleted entry in the source tab of the passes below the jobs.
- In your Identity store schema, select the entry type or attributes you are monitoring (to which you mapped the column of your table column earlier)
- Select your event tasks
Hope I could help.
Best regards,
Nils
