Mass user creation by file upload UI page.

[laurent_vandenbemden]

Hello All,

It seems to be a recurrent question how to apply mass user updates or creations in IDM. But till now I' have not found a solution that would fit my requirements.

I would like to create a mass user creation page or job. 

My first “choice” would go to a custom UI page where a file can be uploaded and saved, from there the users would be created in mass on my Identity store.

Till now I've tried several possibilities but am struggling a bit with the step between file upload and user creation. Where can I retrieve the uploaded file? As I don't know where to find the uploaded file I can read it and write it to my custom tables to treat the user creation.

The page looks like this:

The used attribute named "Z_FILE_UPLOAD_LINK" has been configured as follow.

Has anyone already made this kind of page ?

Thanks a lot by advance,

Laurent

Hi Laurent,

This is something I really miss from the IDM 7.0 / MIC 8.0 days.

However you may be reinventing the wheel.  I believe this is already in the RDS framework. http://service.sap.com/rds-idm. I'd look here first.

Good luck!

Hello Matt,

I had a look to the RDS solution and picked the mass upload part up and slightly customized it to meet my requirements.

Beside the RDS solution I'v then build an excel sheet with some macros in background that verify, modify and saves the "to be uploaded" data into a new CSV file. This can then directly be uploaded in IDM.

Once completely tested it will be pushed into prod.

Thanks for the advice.

Hi Laurent,

On which version of IdM are you? I’m asking, because if you are on 7.2 SP8 you can use SAPUI5 to create a very nice UI.

Hello Simona,

Currently we are running on 7.2 SP9. I am still facing some issues with UI5 which need to be solved before starting using it. But I am very interested in this as well.

I'll come back on it once problems are solved.

Thx a lot,

Laurent
