How to Re-Export a User Attribute to a Target System

This guide explains how to manually re-export or update a user attribute from eADM to a target system, such as Active Directory (AD).

Normally, eADM only exports values that have changed since the last synchronization. However, you may need to perform a manual, full re-export of an attribute in certain situations.

This procedure is useful when:

• Manual changes have been made directly in the target system (e.g., AD) that you need to overwrite with data from eADM.

• You have updated an expression in the Source column in an eADM export mapping and want to apply this change retroactively to all users.

• A static value needs to be re-exported for all users to ensure the target system is correctly updated.

Procedure

Follow these steps to manually trigger a re-export for one or more attribute mappings.

1. Navigate to Synchronization > Synchronization Templates.

2. Select the relevant synchronization template for the target system you wish to update.

3. In the Export tab, locate the attribute mapping you want to re-export.

4. To re-export a single attribute, click the Export mapping (play icon) button on the far right of that attribute's row.

Note: To re-export all attributes in the template simultaneously, click the Export attributes (fast-forward icon) in the upper menu bar.

5. A new dialog will open. Here, you can define the scope of the export. Choose whether the export should apply to All users or a specific selection (Velg).

6. You have two options:

   • Preview: Click this to review the data that will be exported before executing the task.

   • Execute: Click this to add the re-export task to the eADM export queue immediately.

7. If you choose to preview the data, you can filter the results for easier review.

Note: For the clearest overview, filter the preview by ID. This will sort the export data by the user's unique ID in eADM. You can find a user's ID by checking the URL when viewing their profile in the eADM interface.

8. Once you have confirmed the data is correct, click Execute to finalize the re-export to the target system.
