Data mapper XML Schema

Hi,

I am looking for information on the schema for the data mapper XML file. For example all the samples I have seen do not have any text in the before-import and after-import tags. Per the tags name it suggests if I want to perform some initialization before beginning the import and any clean up after performing the import I should use these tags. However what all things I can do is not clear as there is no schema or documentation which points to the different tags which can be used.

Also in case I want to perform validation at specific attribute level, how can I have the validation performed. Same is true for the transformation for example I get the value as 'HIRED' from the source and I want to change it to 'Onboarded' in SSM how can I do these conversions.

PS: I am using user import functionality.

Hello Team,

Any inputs regarding before-import and after-import tags? How can we transform data as part of this XML based reconciliation in database connector?

Any examples will be helpful.

Hi,

I hope the query is that you need to transform the data before importing to SSM when you are using connector?

User import - you can use modifyuserdatajson that inline preprocessor capability which can be used to transform data.

Accounts/Entitlements import : transformation capability is not available. We have some enhancements lined up, once they are available custmers would be notified.

Thanks

Thanks Ajay for your inputs.

The tags are not being used now and have been removed from the DB Connector documentation.
