I was hoping to write some logic to do an API call to a NELM connector to update given IDN attributes to the connector with a bulkload operation, which NELM supports. I can do this, but I want to correlate with other identities rather than create new identities.
With a regular delimited file connector, I can correlate, but I can’t bulk upload all of the data, like I can with NELM. I would need the full CSV data of the existing accounts.
I don’t see a way to automate the download of a delimited file attribute data as a csv with an API call. If I had this I could massage the data with the modifications I want and then send the changes with the file uploader utility.
I realize I need a source to write to Identity attributes. I want to update only specific data that the given source would be authoritative over. I would need to be able to automate the download of all accounts, make sure the new csv has all accounts and then write the data back to the csv source using the file uploader utility. This way we don’t have any accounts possibly deleted.
I was looking at updating the CSV with Python Pandas and possibly a UI to front end the data change.
Any thoughts on how I could do this with the CSV connector? Can I pull all accounts via the api, and write to the dataframe, and export the csv for the file uploader to grab after making changes? Or is there another way to automate the download of the CSV via the API? Is there a different connector that would be better? I’m assuming I could build a SaaS connector, but not sure the limitations of correlations and updating Identity Attributes as I haven’t worked with the SaaS connector yet.
thanks,
