Job Import Org Data

Legacy note: The importOrgData job is intended for the one-time migration of organization and role data from Webdesk 2.x. It is not active in the job descriptor that ships with the product. Use it only after a technical review and not as a regular synchronization job.

How it works

With the configuration url, the job retrieves an XML document from the specified source, optionally filters it, and imports the organization structure and roles from it. Before processing, groups can be restricted by a name prefix, a top-level group can be defined, and roles can be excluded.

After importing the organization structure, the job imports the roles. If the option to import switch permissions is activated in the XML, corresponding permissions for po_switchToOtherUser.act are additionally granted based on the persons and organizational units contained in the export. Global or general organization permissions are not imported.

Configuration

• Type: The configuration dialog that ships with the product supports url. A file configuration is not activated in the form.
• URL/Path: Source of the import XML. The executing system needs access to the source.
• TopLevel Group: Short name of the group to be used as the top group.
• SelectionCriteria Group: Optional prefix; only groups whose name begins with it are processed.
• ExcludeRoles: Comma-separated list of roles that are not imported.

Processing and interruption

The job is configurable and interruptible. After the XML has been retrieved and filtered, the organization structure and the roles are imported one after the other. If the job is interrupted between these steps, the subsequent steps are no longer executed.

The general job parameters such as trigger and mail notification apply as described in the central job management.
