User Extended Attribute maintenance through ActiveSync

Following is happening in the activeSync process.
There is an existing user in IDM with some defined attributes (as per the extended attrs pre-defined).
If any of the user attributes does not have a value in the authoritative source and the user is processed via activeSync then whatever attrs does not hold a value in authoritative source that attr is completely deleted from the userObject xml in IDM
It does not keep a trace in the userObject.
Before the ActiveSync update process UserOBject has the following value.
<Attribute name='Manager' type='string' value='Smith'/>
If in the authoritative source for this user the manager becomes null then
this entire attribute is removed from the xml.
question here is :Is this a normal behaviour w.r.t ActiveSync Process?
Should it not leave the attr trace in UserObject xml in the following way.
<Attribute name='Manager' type='string' >
</Attribute>
If anyone can share their experience in this that would really help.

Any one has noticed this issue in your system? Please help.
Thanks,
Arun

Resource Attributes not saving in Queriable User Extended Attributes

Howdy,
I added a few queriable user extended attributes to IDM. I originally added them in through the configure user attributes interface. I then edited the UserUIConfig to specify that they were queryable. I then edited the User Search Defaults form's getSearchableAttrs function to include these attributes. My added attributes now show up in the search user form, etc., just like I expected them to. Next I configured a new resource adapter for a database table that contained some values I wanted to use to populate these queriable attributes. I wrote a correlation rule, and ran reconciliation on the new resource. It matched up the account entries and automatically matched and linked the account information. So far so good. However, the user extended attributes I defined are not getting populated with the data from the new resource. The mapped resource attributes are treated as part of the user view, but only under the given resource, not as a queriable attribute. I really want to be able to use the find user interface with these datafields. Does anyone know why my data is ot making it into the queriable fields? Do I need to write another rule or workflow? Any advice would be most helpful.
Thanks!
Jim

Queryable attributes refer to attributes stored in the IDM user object, and so need to be referenced as such.
If you want attribute 'foo' in resource 'bar' to be stored as a Queryable attribute, you need to define it like so in your User Form :
<Field name='accounts[Lighthouse].foo'>
    <Expansion>
          <ref>accounts[bar].foo</ref>
    </Expansion>
</Field>This should pull the value from the resource attribute and put it in the IDM attribute. If you refer to it as a global.foo everywhere, that might work (but I find globals to be problematic).
Let me know if it works...

I don't find User Extended attributes in IDM 8

Hi all,
I have installed idm8 and I need to extend the user attributes, but I can't find the User Extended Attributes object (or Extended User Attributes). Can anyone help me?

From the release notes :
Identity Manager 8.0 consolidates the locations where an administrator specifies extended,
queryable, and summary attributes for user objects into the new
IDM Schema Configuration object. (ID-17784) In prior versions of Identity Manager, an administrator
edited the User Extended Attributes configuration object to add extended attributes for
user objects and the UserUIConfig configuration object to specify additional queryable or
summary attributes for user objects. An administrator now edits the IDM Schema Configuration
object for these purposes.

IdM v7 and User Extended Attributes

I did a demo install of IdM version 7.1 and when I looked under debug and then list 'Configuration' objects,
I did not see 'User Extended Attributes' ?
I thought this comes as part of IdM in a very basic simple format ?
I've worked with IdM a fair amount, and don't every remember creating this file.
Can someone confirm this ( one way or the other ) ?
TIA

The "IDM Schema Configuration" object is an IDM 8+ object only. The extended attributes have been completely changed between IDM 7 and IDM 8.
In IDM 7.1 the extended attributes are stored in the Configuration object called "User Extended Attributes". The initial import and set up of your repository should have created it. By default there's a few extended attributes (like idmManager, etc) that are set up. On a fresh install you won't find the file in the sample directory. It's only in the repository. You should be able to see it from the debug page or by extracting the XML object from the repository directly using the lh command line tool. If not then something might have screwed up in the installation.
However, the fact that you've got attributes called "IDMAttributeConfiguration" and "IDMObjectClassConfigurations" leads me to believe you've actually got an IDM 8 install, not an IDM 7 install. In which case, as Paul pointed out, your attributes are stored in the "IDM Schema Configuration" object. (Again, not found in the sample dir, only in the repository and is created on initial import.)

User Extended Attributes in IDM 7

Has the set up changed? I imported all my objects from 6.0 and the user extended attributes aren't there. I imported the UserUIConfig object, so I would think they would be present. I noticed that the attributes tab moved in the new version, have the methods of defining them changed much?

User Extended Attributes are typically defined in the object Configuration:User Extended Attributes. UserUIConfig is used e.g. to define if the attribute should be "Queryable" -but yes its a correct observation that the UserUIConfig is changing shapes...

Make user extended attribute available on the user report

Hi,
We have created a few user extended attributes for the client. The quyestion is how to make them available for select in a user report. Currently we configured a user report for approvers "approver report" and save the XML as TaskTemplate. How can I modify the xml to display user extended attributes? I tried the following but it did not work:
In the task template xml, add the attribute (e.g., department) into
<Attribute name='attrMapField'>
<Map>
<MapEntry key='attributes.department' value='Department'>
</Map>
</Attribute>
<Attribute name='attrsToDisplay'>
<List>
<String>attributes.department</String>
</List>
</Attribute>
Thank you.

We will need to edit the TaskDefinition object named �User Report� with the id
�#ID#TaskDefinition:UserSummary�.
1) Insert the following xml directly above the field named �queryAttr.MemberObjectGroups.enabled�:
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.enabled'>
<Display class='Checkbox'/>
</Field>
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.operator'>
<Display class='Select'>
<Property name='title' value='Report only users whose employeeId '/>
<Property name='noNewRow' value='true'/>
<Property name='nullLabel' value='Please Select'/>
<Property name='valueMap'>
<ref>conditionsList</ref>
</Property>
</Display>
<Expansion>
<cond>
<eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.enabled</ref>
<s>true</s>
</eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.operator</ref>
<null/>
</cond>
</Expansion>
</Field>
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.value'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='noNewRow' value='true'/>
</Display>
<Expansion>
<cond>
<eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.enabled</ref>
<s>true</s>
</eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.value</ref>
<null/>
</cond>
</Expansion>
</Field>
2) Inside of the defvar named �attrMap� you will need to insert the following text:
<MapEntry key='attributes.employeeId' value='Employee ID'/>
3) Save the modifications.
4) Check the "User Report" your attr will be available

Fetch the User Extended Attribute" Group" Value in Java

Hi All,
I have been able to add a User Extended attribute in SIM and wish to fetch its value for a particular user in my java code.
kindly help.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi All,
I am able to fetch the value of extended attribute "Group" of type "Select" I added in the Default User Form using user.getAttribute("Group") in my java code of Custom Resource Adapter.
This extended attribute has groups name populated in it. What I am doing now is that I am fetching the Group name value and assing the user this group. This is working fine for me. However, In case user select a different group next time, I need to remove the user from old group and assign him the new group. For this, I need to have the old group value and new group value. I don't know how to retrieve the old group value?
Any pointer on this will be helpful.
Note: I have done the mapping of extended attribute "Group" in my Custom Resource Adapter.
Regards,
Sunny

Approval Limit of user - Extended Attributes

Hello everyone,
I would like to know the difference between standard values and local values for approval
limit in extended attributes in PPOSA_BBP. The standard value has 15000 AUD which is
inherited by the organization unit under which the user is created. Local value is 1000 AUD.
What does this mean? All users under the organization unit carry the same standard valu for
approval limit but only head carries the local value which is 1000 AUD.
Can anyone please answer to this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Even i checked in my system and i couldn't able to find much importance for standard value...system is considering only local values.....
if you got the answer then please post it ...
Thanks

Attribute Maintenance through BBPUM01

Hi ... Can we maintain attribute values through "Manage User data" (txn: BBPUM01), instead of going to PPOSA_BBP?
In my screen, no attributes is showing. But in PPOSA_BBP, I have lot of attributes assigned to me. I have also checked in GUI through the transaction BBPUM01, where the attributes table is blank. The drop down for selecting attribute is not showing any value.
Am I missing any authorization? Are there any specific task needs to be done to have that? Please help.

you can find EndUserMenu
change the name of the EndUserMenu to your form name(should be uploaded to the IDM)
for adding attributes to your User Object
login to your http:\\localhost:8080\idm\debug pages then select
ListObjects -->configuraton
from the list of values select the User Extended Attributes for edit

I dont see the SL approver on the approval flow and the approval flow says no approval required.

Error compiling with extends attribute

I've got an abstract class I would like to extend in a JSP.
I can get it to work with other classes but not in my JSP.
<%@page extends="com.websource.database.Connections"%>
If I remove this the JSP will compile. But when included I get an error like:
getPageContext(javax.servlet......) cannot be applied to....
Any advice would be most appreciated.

To quote the JSP spec:
"The creation of the implementation class for a JSP page may be done solely by the JSP
container, or it may involve a superclass provided by the JSP page author through the use of
the extends attribute in the jsp directive. The extends mechanism is available for
sophisticated users and it should be used with extreme care as it restricts what some of the
decisions that a JSP container can take, e.g. to improve performance.
The JSP page implementation class will implement Servlet and the Servlet protocol
will be used to deliver requests to the class."
i.e you need to implement all the methods of javax.servlet plus probably HttpJspPage as well. Is this what you are trying to do?
