Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Hi Chris,

I created organization hierarchies via grouper loader using below documentation:
https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Organization+hierarchies+via+the+grouper+loader

 

After running SQL Loader multiple times, I have some questions:

• I updated the group name in the DB and ran the SQL grouper loader. Instead of updating a group name, it created a new group and added members to it. This lead to multiple groups with old and new group names. Does grouper loader (SQL_Group_list) has diff functionality for the organizational hierarchies? Or it only creates new groups and adds members to it?
  

 

• After I start running SQL grouper loader, it took around 1.5hrs - 2hrs to start processing and creating groups in the Grouper. How does grouper loader query DB? Does it first run group query and then loader query? Or Run both at the same time?
  

 

•  Using the SQL grouper loader, is there a way to add attributes to a group?

Eg:-

Department Hierarchy (Folder)

|   

|_ Software_Development (Group) 

          |

          |_Supervisor_Name_Attr

          |

          |_Supervisor_Approval_Attr

Thank you,

Akki
