Copy ESS Users from One Environment to Another

I would recommend the process outlined in the LSF Upgrade Guide: Export LDAP (ldifgen), Export SSOP and PROD_EMPLOYEE Service and Identities (ssoconfig), Import LDAP, Modify file then import Services. Using the LDAP utilities will copy the user RM record, but you'll need to copy any Identities separately.

Importing is a pretty dangerous process, so make sure to get a full backup of your TDS LDAP and $LAWDIR\system files.

Chris,
It's pretty straight forward. It isn't supported for this purpose, but it is documented by Infor in th Landmark install guide.

There is an option for ldifgen that will dump *all* the RMData branch from LDIFGEN to XML. That command is ldifgen ldapdatatoxml -f ....

From there you'd need to manually strip the non EMSC related entries. Also important to strip system entries, or you could break your target environment badly.

After that, the rest is standard Lawson: ssoconfig for the indentities, etc.

Grrr, virtual keyboards. It's 'ldapdatatoxml' not 'ldapdatatoxml'. I corrected the original post also

Thanks for the updates ... So this sounds like it is do-able ... But tricky ???
I will check out the LANDMARK installation guide

less tricky and dangerous way, i used:

idsldapsearch to get ESS or MSS users from prod to build my loadusers file, then loadusers -f.

I like loading the users back with the loadusers command ...
I will play around with a method to build the file.

Thanks so much .... Please keep em coming

You can also use ProcessFlow's ResourceQuery node to retrieve the users and their identities.
Combine that with ProcessFlow Integrator File node to write out the file for loadusers.
Note that if you have a lot of users (e.g. tens of thousands) this can be prohibitively slow.
