OIA jobs.xml constrain execute of file import on only one of two app server

Question

I am trying to get the jobs.xml and scheduling-context.xml files to fire an import job on one of the two app servers. There are two application servers utilizing the same shared database. Files to import into OIA reside on one of the two application servers file systems only and we want to use the jobs.xml and scheduling-context.xml files on one of the app servers to setup the imports.
I have these two beans enabled
<ref bean="usersImportJob"/>
<ref bean="usersImportTrigger"/>
This is a snippet from the jobs.xml file
<bean id="usersImportTrigger" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.CronTriggerBean">
<property name="jobDetail">
<ref bean="usersImportJob"/>
</property>
<property name="cronExpression">
<value>0 0/5 * * * ?</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="usersImportJob" class="org.springframework.scheduling.quartz.JobDetailBean">
<property name="name">
<value>Users Import</value>
</property>
<property name="description">
<value>Users import Job</value>
</property>
<property name="jobClass">
<value>com.vaau.rbacx.scheduling.manager.providers.quartz.jobs.IAMJob</value>
</property>
<property name="group">
<value>SYSTEM</value>
</property>
<property name="durability">
<value>true</value>
</property>
<property name="jobDataAsMap">
<map>
<!-- only single user name can be specified for jobOwnerName (optional)-->
<entry key="jobOwnerName">
<value>REPLACE_ME</value>
</entry>
<!-- multiple user names can be specified as
comma delimited e.g user1,user2 (optional)-->
<entry key="usersToNotify">
<value>REPLACE_ME</value>
</entry>
<entry key="IAMActionName">
<value>ACTION_IMPORT_USERS</value>
</entry>
<entry key="IAMServerName">
<value>FILE_SERVER</value>
</entry>
<!-- Job chaining, i.e. specify the next job to run (optional) -->
<entry key="NEXT_JOB">
<value>rolesImportJob</value>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
QUESTION:_
Is the IAMServerName value suppose to have the literal hostname of the application server (ex. "oia.bluebird.com") configured in place of the default "FILE_SERVER" text?
Your insite is greatly appreciated

Hi Meg,
I have to say that I've only seen the jobs.xml be defined for data feeds only. It does not make calls out to app/DB servers OOTB.
The alternative solution are the following:
1. Use your IDM provisioning connector to the application then pull the data from the IDM product into OIA
2. Extract the data from the app server using the ETL functionality/engine within the OIA product to extract the data into a data feed (then OIA will pick that up)
3. Construct some extracting functionality (like a java class) instead of ETL
Hope this has helped
