Attribute Sync - Additional attributes

Good day everyone,

We have a requirement to writeback username and workEmail to SuccessFactors (Authoritative Source). Currently, only below attributes are available for attribute sync OOTB. How can we add additional sync attributes to the application? I have tried using the postman API: put-source-attr-sync-config | SailPoint Developer Community. But the changes are reflecting back after some time. Seems that, this API is still under development.

This is just for joiner flow. Is it feasible to somehow hit the API inside within the joiner workflow?

Also, unique username and email will be generated during the account creation of AD. Just curious to know, how are you currently fetching these details and sending to target applications. And how can we manage the order in the joiner workflow, like to provision one after another application.

Connector: SuccessFactors SAAS

Thank you,

Attributes you want to use for attribute sync must be defined in the create profile/create account provisioning policy. Even if you aren’t populating them there, they must be defined there to show up in attribute sync

Hi @mcheek ,

The needed attributes are already available OOTB, and these are not being visible in Sync Profile.

Please check SuccessFactors SAAS connector and help me out.

Additionally, any suggestion on the below point?

@sarvanmarri you can try using the below API to add additional atributes if connector supports

{{baseUrl}}/sources/:id/attribute-sync-config

Dear @schattopadhy ,

Thank you for looking into this. I have already mentioned by using that API, the changes are reflecting back after some time.

Even the attributes added in the create profile is not being displayed in the Sync profile.

Would like to know, if we can use any other way to create these.

Thanks,

Thank you for your time, guys.

Seems that for some OOTB connectors. We need to operate as below.

  1. Add the additional attributes using put-source-attr-sync-config | SailPoint Developer Community API.
  2. Make sure to enable that attribute while hitting the API. Otherwise, the changes will not be reflected.
  3. Whenever this custom added attribute is disabled from UI. The configuration will be gone. We need to add it again using the API.
  4. Also, all the attributes are getting synced to target irresepctive of enable status.

As the API is still in experimental state. Let’s hope that this issue will be covered before the final deployment.

@colin_mckibben - Could you please look into this issue to help us to fix it in future.

Thanks,
Sarvan Marri
