8.2 Saving Customized Settings for Attributes in the Catalog

Identity Governance allows you to customize some of the attributes, such as email or Account name, in the Catalog. However, when you migrate collected data from a previous version of Identity Governance to this release, all customizations that you applied in the Catalog will be lost. For example, you changed the displayed name of the user attribute Title to Job Title and specified that it is an editable value. The migration process overrides this type of customization.

To maintain your custom settings, you must save those settings before upgrading to Identity Governance or migrating your collections for this release.

  1. Before upgrading Identity Governance, run the following query against the igops database for the USER entity type:

    postgres sql:
    select attribute_key as attrKey,
    attribute_type as attrType,
    curatable as editable,
    entity_type as entityType,
    listable as displayable,
    quick_info as quickInfo,
    searchable as advanceSearch
    from attribute_definition
    where extended = false and (attribute_type = 'ARC_MANAGED' or attribute_type = 'COLLECTED') and entity_type = 'USER';
    
    oracle sql:
    select attribute_key as attrKey,
    attribute_type as attrType,
    curatable as editable,
    entity_type as entityType,
    listable as displayable,
    quick_info as quickInfo,
    searchable as advanceSearch
    from attribute_definition
    where extended = '0' and (attribute_type = 'ARC_MANAGED' or attribute_type = 'COLLECTED') and entity_type = 'USER';
  2. Save the output from the query.

  3. Run the same query for the other entity types in the Catalog. For each query, change the two instances of entity_type = USER to specify the type of attribute that you want to query: GROUP, ACCOUNT, or PERMISSION.

  4. Save the output from each query that you run.

  5. After migrating your collected data to the new release, manually reapply your customized settings to the affected attributes based on the query output.
