To deReference use Target\DeptTemp = ""+Department in Worklfow. Workflow is triggered each time value of Department changes. I flow Portal.user.DeptTemp to mv.person.Department. When exporting mv.Person.Department I do a Utils.FindMVEntries to lookup csObjectID and return DisplayName.<br /><br />BTW...Department uses UocIdentityPicker & UocSearchDataSource to find Group Objects with CustomType = Department.<br /><br />Only downside....no pretty names for Department in MV; only csObjectIDs, but I can probably create a mv attribute to provide that if I wanted. Hope this helps someone.Phil B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03503677806389736380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229702303715884722.post-80398959272343046032012-02-17T06:18:29.165+02:002012-02-17T06:18:29.165+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03503677806389736380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229702303715884722.post-56836919654428652272012-02-17T01:37:08.861+02:002012-02-17T01:37:08.861+02:00This is a great solution.

In the Portal, it's a reference attribute to accomodate the above solution. However, in 3 other directories, Department is a string. If I wanted use the portal for provisioning new users and have it be authoritative for Department, I run into problems. I'm forced to flow the reference attribure to a reference attribute in the Metaverse; limitation of FIM Service MA. But then I can't convert to a simple string name on the outbound to other directories; llimitation of working with reference attributes. Any ideas on how to handle this situation? Input greatly appreciated.Phil B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03503677806389736380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229702303715884722.post-91295923078487792662012-02-06T16:39:29.653+02:002012-02-06T16:39:29.653+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12170424777225192307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3229702303715884722.post-75919312133831169382011-09-13T16:55:04.510+02:002011-09-13T16:55:04.510+02:00Very cool that my article was useful to you :)Very cool that my article was useful to you :)FIMBobhttp://thefimteam.comnoreply@blogger.com
