Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Hyzer, Chris" <>]

I would use the loader.  This doc might help:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Organization+hierarchies+via+the+grouper+loader

loader jobs need either a subject_id col or a subject_identifier col, in this 
case get the group name to be a subject_identifier col.  Ok?

Thanks
Chris

Subject: RE: getting grouper loader to create empty groups.

A recurring job for a while.  The source is a manually updated organizational 
hierarchy (after some time we'll switch to grouper as the authoritative 
source.)   Just 4 levels of organizational definition. 

So loader will work with empty subject_id? 

I'll look at GSH export also.

Is it a one time sync or a recurring sync?  If recurring, yes, a loader job 
should work.

If one time job, are you familiar with the GSH export?  Is it from one env to 
another where groups have same name?

Give me more detailed information and I can help you out.

Loader jobs can work from subject_identifier which is the group name, so that 
can work...

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] getting grouper loader to create empty groups.

I'm creating  a gsh script to sync groups (without members) from another 
source and I'm wondering if it's possible to do that with a loader job.  
Looks like loader jobs need subject_id, and these are empty so I don't have 
one.
