Hi there, this is just a very general question that we’re hoping to get answered relatively easily. We’re attempting to send another attribute from Active Directory back to Workday with SailPoint.

We’ve mapped out a new attribute called BadgeProxyID and configured the source/target in SailPoint.

This is the error we are receiving “Update operation not supported for schema attribute BadgeProxyID.”

This should behave as a similar function when we bring back email value from Active Directory to Workday.

AFAIK, we’re not utilizing any APIs and the only edits I know to make are the xpathattributes. For example see email key snippet.

Anyone familiar with Workday/SailPoint for a bit of extra guidance on this? Thank you!

few questions here

  • Are you able to aggregate this attribute to Sailpoint BadgeProxyID for existing users
  • Did you make sure this attribute value you are passing is in expected format and sailpoint account used for provisioning has the rights to update this, if not please check with workday team on permissions and format being passed

Hey Sathish thanks for the reply!

  • We’re aggregating “extensionAttribute8” from SailPoint which is what holds the value in Active Directory. We’re attempting to bring this value into “BadgeProxyID” in Workday.
  • I can check with the Workday team on this second question.

@itzsam91
So none of the existing users you are not aggregating the BadgeProxyID from workday?

So, BadgeProxyID is the new attribute in Workday. We’re attempting to take extensionAttribute8 (which is employee badge number in AD) to write into Workday attribute. The number comes from another third party application that puts value into AD. We want to bring that back into WD.

Understood, then this must be a permission issue, try below things

For any one user, work with workday team and update the value directly in workday and see if you are able to aggregate first

Also check with workday team on the permissions.

Thank you so much! This helped isolate it to the Workday team and we got it working!

@itzsam91 Glad it worked
