Thank you,  for the prompt reply Chris! 

Yes, we want a value and would like for it to be shown on the UI. Our use case is that we want a "supervisor" attribute with value (supervisor's name) assigned to each group and would like to be able to see the supervisor (attribute) when we look at the group in the UI. 

Questions:

* Can you let me know how long will it take to implement from your end?

* Also, which Classes and JSPs need modification to implement code to get attribute value and display it on the UI? 

Thank you,

Akki

The “type” in the loader does not have a value on it.  Do you need a value?  Or is it just a “marker” attribute?

 

No, we don’t show attributes on the UI right now, but we do have plans to, if you want us to add it.

 

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

Sorry for the inconvenience, below link contains commands and screenshot (the result is shown highlighted in the screenshot). Is there a way to show custom attributes (read from the database column) and display it under group attributes sections?

I cant see the commands please just put them in email.

 

I think you just need this in GSH:

 

typeAdd(type name)

Ah, based on your description looks like I might be following correct documentation.

 

Below are the commands I am running in the GSH that would create attribute loader. However, when I run the loader, it does not set relationship between attribute's def names. Are below configuration wrong? or Implementation is needed to set the relationship values?

You should be able to add a type with GSH, and put that in the group query in the loader and it will add that type to the group.  Does that make sense?  This is implement as an attribute def and attribute name but you dont need to worry about that...  not, it cannot be loaded with a value yet...

Hi Chris,

 

I am working on creating the Departmental Hierarchical groups in the Grouper (https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Organization+hierarchies+via+the+grouper+loader). I'm trying to add a custom attribute to the group (Eg. Supervisor_Name), I added Supervisor_Name column in the group table and ran the loader, but Supervisor_Name attribute didn’t show up on the group.  

 

I think I need to implement code to read data from the table column and show up as an attribute in the group. Please let me know where in the source code does loader gets columns details (eg. Name, ID Path, etc) from the tables. Also, let me know if there is a better way to configure or implement from your point of view.

 

Thank you,

Akki
