Incremental_Config for User Import

[Testy]

We're trying to achieve an incremental user import from AD/LDAP. Under the User_Attribute parameter it says For Incremental import to work, CREATEDATE and UPDATEDATE fields must be mapped, which we did, mapping them to whenChanged and whenCreated. - this alone does not perform incremental import.

However there is also an INCREMENTAL_CONFIG parameter which the documentation does not provide a good example of. Does this need to be configured for incremental user import to work? I am wondering if anyone has an example of the INCREMENTAL_CONFIG parameter, and how it needs to be configured to look at whenChanged/whenCreated.

Trying to do an incremental import from LDAP, we've tried using the objectfilter {"full":... "incremental":...} and we've tried adding the CREATEDATE::createtimestamp#date / UPDATEDATE::modifytimestamp#date in the USER_Attributes - no luck.

What is the import job type you have used for user import from LDAP?

[Testy]

User Import via a Connection (UserImportJob) and the job type is Incremental Import.

FYI Incremental import is working when we hardcode the timestamp in the connector like this:
{
"full": "(objectclass=Person)",
"incremental": "(&(objectclass=Person)(|(createtimestamp>=20230704000000Z)(modifytimestamp>=20230704000000Z)))"
}

Obviously that is not feasible to edit the connector every time, so we are trying with this recommendation from Saviynt but LDAP is not reading this at all and doing full import.

{
"full": "(objectclass=Person)",
"incremental": "(&(objectclass=Person)(|(createtimestamp>=${new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMddHHmmss.0Z').format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()-86400000))})(modifytimestamp>=${new java.text.SimpleDateFormat('yyyyMMddHHmmss.0Z').format(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis()-86400000))})))"
}

Hi @Testy ,

CREATEDATE and UPDATEDATE fields mapping with whenCreated and whenChanged respectively will work for incremental recon. I used it in one of my project and it's in working state.

Hers is the working json:

[
EMAIL::mail#String,
UPDATEDATE::whenChanged#customDate--yyyyMMddHHmmss.'0Z',
CREATEDATE::whenCreated#customDate--yyyyMMddHHmmss.'0Z',
USERNAME::sAMAccountName#String,
RECONCILATION_FIELD::USERNAME
]

Please share the USER_Attributes mapping JSON
