Populating the Manager attribute
Hi, Any ideas on how to Populate that attribute? For every user i have 2 attributes regarding their manager, each can be used to identify the manager for the user. Both Attributes are String Attributes, 1 with the Uid of the Manager and 1 with the EmployeeID. So what i need to do, is somehow make af workflow that makes a look-up of ObjectID for user with XXX Uid. Is this possible with basic FIM / Function Evaluator from Tools4FIM ? I also need to make a Set of users with one of these String manager attributes isPresent, but that Operator is not available?/Frederik Leed

These attributes are defined and managed in FIM or do they come from an external data source (e.g. HR database)? In the first case, you should probably directly define and set them as reference attributes. In the second case, you should import them as reference attributes from the external system. To query for users with any value for a string attribute you could do something like this: /Person[not(ManagerUID!='xxx')] where 'xxx' should be an invalid value for the attribute.

Succes! My Source with the info about Manager was from my HR (Oracle) Connector, i just changes the MANAGER_EmployeeID to being a Reference DN and then i was able to flow the data directly to the Manager attribute in MV. NB! The attribute needs to be the DN for en object in a MA or i will not work. At first i changed the MANAGER_INITIALS to Reference DN and tried flowing that and it did not work./Frederik Leed
