Hi Experts,

I am trying to use the decomposeDiacriticalMarks tranform to convert frstname with special character like “ñ” to n. However it is not working.

I created tranform referencing in this link

and here is my transform.

{
    "name": "Decompose Diacritical Marks Transform",
    "type": "decomposeDiacriticalMarks",
    "attributes": {
        "input": {
            "attributes": {
                "name": "firstname"
            },
            "type": "identityAttribute"
        }
    },
    "internal": false
}

Has anyone successfully used this transform?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi @vijayasaikoppineni

This transform works with you? may I know what value of your firstname?

I Use this transform but still it’s returning

This is what I set in the csv for the firstname: Test642Lñ

And I find it weird, why the replace and decomposeDiacriticalMarks not working on my end

Good Day!
Can you use the ReplaceAll transform and let us know the output. As suggested by the @Mahesh_Mukku.

Thank you!

Hi @Mahesh_Mukku

Transform:

{
        "name": "Replace All Special Character Transform",
        "type": "replaceAll",
        "attributes": {
            "input": {
                "attributes": {
                    "sourceName": "TEST_SAP HCM",
                    "attributeName": "familyName"
                },
                "type": "accountAttribute"
            },
            "table": {
                "ñ": "n",
                "Ñ": "N",
                "e": "a"
            }
        },

I don’t think the transforms are the problem here.

Can you make an API call to SailPoint to see what it returns as the value for that account’s firstname attribute? I think you’ll find that the stored value doesn’t actually contain the ñ you’re expecting, likely because of an encoding issue.

Hi @Rpalos,

Try below transform, it should work for you:

{
    "name": "TRN FirstName",
    "type": "replace",
    "attributes": {
        "input": {
            "attributes": {
                "input": {
                    "attributes": {
                        "input": {
                            "attributes": {
                                "name": "firstname"
                            },
                            "type": "identityAttribute"
                        },
                        "regex": "[´]",
                        "replacement": "'"
                    },
                    "type": "replace"
                }
            },
            "type": "decomposeDiacriticalMarks"
        },
        "regex": "[^a-zA-Z0-9-'´`’‘ ]",
        "replacement": ""
    },
    "internal": false
}
