Trusted recon populating manager ID based on manager employee number

Question

Hi,
I am doing a trusted recon using GTC connector against HR database. The matching key is the employee number. In the HR data I don't have the manager ID instead, I have manager employee number. During the account creation process, I would like to fetch the manager account ID and populate it. I also have to do the same during the update process as well (if the manager changes, I need to do an update).
Please let me know how can I accomplish this?
Thank you very much

Answer 1

Do it as following:
- Create a UDF Manager Employee Number in OIM UDF.
- map your HR field with this UDF, so after reconciliation is completed this UDF has the value of Manager Employee Number
- Write a Task Scheduler which does the following:
a) Read all the OIM users for the UDF=Manager Employee Number
b) On the basis of this UDF it extracts the USR_KEY for the manager
c) Update the users one by one using OIM API'S for the manager information extracted.
That's the standard practice for linking User-to-Manager.
For Updates:
- Attach a process task like Change User Manager Employee Number to the Xellerate User process.
- Take the new value of the UDF and again do the same steps as told above to update the use for its new manager.
- Do this in an adapter task with java code.
- Attach this adapter to the process task of first step.
Thanks
