I did it directly from my AD vendor form where Request ID(AD Login) does not equal remedy login. You should not have to parse the phone if they have it in one field. You will have to set status to Proposed and then update each record either manually or through workflow to be enabled. Also be sure to set the unrestricted access to be checked if you don't it can bite you later. You will need to set the site and site ID. If you have more than one site you will need multiple escalations. That's all I remember off the top of my head. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, 7 May 2007 6:02 PM Subject: ITSM 7 People import methodology
** I am attempting to create ITSM 7 people records from LDAP information, and want to run this scenario by you more experienced few who may already have done this: I have the LDAP connection to the people data already, have stored that information in a holding form (about 700 records), and have culled that "get" down to only the 15 or so fields that appear to have useful data in them. I know I need to push the phone #s into the Phone Detail form first, and will string parse that value as part of that push. There will be no Wallet, Travel, Education, Attachments, Home Address, or Benefit, etc. info imported. I also need to perform some string manipulation on the LDAP formatting (culling out the "CN=" type strings), after which I want to push the data into the ITSM 7 People form, along with various local string/selection field settings (i.e. Status, Client Type, $NULL$, etc.). Once I have the import Filter built, I will create an Escalation to refresh the data from LDAP to the holding form, which will cause the Filter to push that data to the People form on Modify. I will add the group memberships/roles/permissions later, as that's a much smaller task that can be done manually. Is there anything else I haven't thought of at all? Is there a better/easier way?
