Problems with characters
Hello! We sync data to FIM portal from HRMA (Oracle) data source. We have two Views. The first gives corect character output, but the second gives uncorect output. For sample - correct is "" (Extended ASCII Codes, Number 139), but the output is uncorrect(Extended ASCII Codes, Number 140) see ASCII code http://www.asciitable.com/ Can FIM can convert characters that there is correct characters in the output? Thanks!

Hi There, There are really two areas that you can do this within the FIM Synchronization Engine. The first one, if you're not worried about the data in the connector space being shown correctly, would be to translate the characters as they are being transitioned from the connector space to the sync engine. There are of course, some complications with this method, especially if you're trying to use that data for join rules (which can also be fixed using the classic join rules and translating the data as part of the join criteria). The replacement of the characters between the CS and MV for the attribute flow can be done using the classic rules or declarative rules depending on how your environment works (but remember, declarative rules will not let you do any data translations for the relationship criteria as the classic join rules will). The second one is to write an XMA where the data is collected from the Oracle DB view and written to a file. The data can be parsed before written to the file, which is then consumed by the MA for import into the CS. Hope this helps. Bhttp://identityminded.wordpress.com
