The schema is generated based on the discovery of the data in
the template input file. Refresh schema is not available for this
management agent, because you can configure the structure of the
data in Management Agent Designer.
Remarks
The data format for an attribute-value pair text file consists
of an attribute followed by the attribute's value on a single line,
separated by a colon. The following is an example of an
attribute-value pair file format:
Name: Barbara Moreland
Title: Office Manager
Address: 123 Main Street, Tallahassee, FL 07534
Telephone: 555-1234
Fax: 555-1235
Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 treats all data as
case sensitive.
File-based management agents do not export
characters that are not in the destination code page. Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 fails when it attempts to export
objects that contain any character that is not in the target
connected data source code page. If you try to avoid this behavior
by converting the file to Unicode and then doing a best-fit
translation, Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 cannot
confirm the export. As a workaround, you can do your own file
translation during export attribute flow.
For file-based management agents, the template
input file should contain all the object classes and attributes
that will be synchronized, and it should be in a full import
format.
If you use a template input file that is larger than 200 KB,
Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 analyzes only the
first 100 objects when it discovers the schema. As a result, if
there are object classes and attributes that you want to
synchronize that do not appear in the first 100 objects, manually
add those object classes and attributes as connector space object
types and attributes. Depending on the size of the file, a delay
might occur when Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 reads
the entire file.
File-based management agents only support
importing a single value for the object class (OC) attribute. If
you try to import a multi-value OC attribute from a connected data
source, the management agent will fail with a multi-single-mismatch
error.
This management agent supports password management. For more information, see Related Topics.
