John, Yes that would be the ideal way to do it.
But if you have specific requirements, such as default permissions that the users ought to have, etc. then you might either have to modify that form to add that bit, or build your own load form.. Prior to the days when this form was not available OTB, I had created my own data load form, and had actually used AIE to populate data from a PeopleSoft external Oracle database. You need to consider creating records in the People Permissions Group form so you automatically add this person to predetermined permissions and group memberships.. Joe From: John Doe Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 12:03 PM Newsgroups: public.remedy.arsystem.general To: [email protected] Subject: External Database for people record creation. ** Looking for advice. I have an external oracle database. Which is a distillation of our active directory database. I'd like to connect to this database and create people and user records from it. What is the best way to go about this. My thoughts go to AIE to the CTM:LoadPeople form or possibly use the data mgmt tool. Thank you in advance for the help. _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
