Ariba User Manager update

[Dorota_P]

Hi,

we need to create account update json for SAP Ariba and user update rule that would change supervisor of the user, when manager is changed in HR. We've already created both and the solution is working. The issue is that in case user manager does not have account in Ariba, supervisor field is empty in Ariba. How to update the json we currently have, so that it checks if users.manager is having sap ariba account: if yes--> manager is updated in ariba if not-->account in sap ariba is created for the manager and after the account is created, manager is updated for the user

part of json we currently use:

"httpParams": "{\"item\": [{\"EmailAddress\": \"${user.email}\",\"Name\": \"${null!=user.firstname?user.firstname:''} ${null!=user.lastname?user.lastname:''}\",\"Supervisor\":{\"UniqueName\": \"${userManager.email}\"},\"UniqueName\": \"${user.customproperty30}\"}]}"

\"${null!=userManager.email?userManager.email:''}

Hi,

\"${null!=userManager.email?userManager.email:''} - it will not works as seems issue with user's manager Ariba account. If user's manager does not have ariba account then it will return null value.

yes.. I guess so.. but our country ARIBA vendor said there is no REST API for account management.. but we prefer to use REST API if available. I couldnt find it in API portal as well.
