Is there a way to disable OIM entity adapters while doing batch upload ?

Question

Hi experts,
I have an adpater to generate UserID from a sequence based on user-type for creation of OIM users thru web UI.
I have attached this to Users form in data object manager.
We also have a 3-step batch bulk procedure from CSV file which checks data enterd, generates pword email etc etc and builds CSV file with records to be inserted.
In the 3rd step, scheduled task runs with CSV file as input and creates users in OIM DB.
The problem is the entity adapters are also getting triggerd which generate another UserID for each user created.
This leads to loss in sequence numbers.
Is there any way of disabling this ?? We need to have both in place, but this conflict should not arise ..
Please advice.
Regards,
Chetan

Answer 1

Even if i check the value of that UDF and execute the code to generate UserID based on that value,the function still has to return a value right ??Attach entity adapter at Post Insert.
Create UDF with Default value "CSV".
Add one more parameter in your java class which is responsible for generating userid.
You can directly map UDF with Class Parameter.
if (UDF == CSV){
Don't Generate
else {
Generate with your logic
And if that function is getting called for every user record in the CSV file, then i cant return a dummy value for it as well .You can use update User API of tcUserOperations
