Export attributes from create user task to txt file

[Fernando Oliveira]

Hello,

There is a way to create a txt file with attributes from the user being created in the Create User event?

Thanks.

You can have a PX policy execute external code and passes the user's attributes to it, or call an external Kettle job to read the newly created user's attributes from the corporate directory. Better yet, you can create a CSV connector using Connector Xpress and this is what I would do. This option will also keep the attributes in sync since it will update the values anytime they are modified in Identity Manager.

Hi Iyes, do you have any documentation in how to create this connector?

Thanks.

Anyone have done this before through a policy xpress?

​Iyes suggested very good options. You should use CSV connector for this. Here is the product documentation on flat file connector if you haven't found it yet.

Unfortunately You can't connect to text file from PX. But still if you want to do it from PX here are your options -

1. Insert to a DB table using PX. then offline move to text file from DB using kettle script or Java code or Manually.
2. Call an external Java class from PX. Java class writes to text file.
