Currently, I populate my custom attributes with a single CSV lookup that pulls froms a monsterous source file requiring plenty of manual work. Data from AD, various vlookup fields, etc.
I am trying to migrate into a scenario where I will pull the majority of the data from LDAP, and chain in the resulting fields with 2 much smaller CSV lookups.
My challenge is that I can't see how to call the csvlookup plugin twice, where it calls a different .properties file for the second call.
Neither the lookup documentation, the plugins.properties file or the csvlookup.properties files give me any indication that I can reference more than one separate instance of the CSV lookup plugin.
BUT, in the rem notes for the plugins.properties file it has an example that raised an eyebrow:
# Plugin Execution Chain.
# A comma-separated list of attribute lookup plug-ins to be executed in sequence.
# Example: com.vontu.lookup.script.ScriptLookup, com.vontu.lookup.xls.ExcelLookup, com.vontu.lookup.script.ScriptLookup
# This example will execute Script Lookup #1 -> ExcelLookup -> Script Lookup #2
Is “xls.ExcelLookup” separate from csvlookup, and if so, is there a jar file for it (I don’t see one in my plugins directory)
I can easily swap out one of my CSVs for an excel, and then my chain would be
com.vontu.plugins.execution.chain= com.vontu.lookup.liveldap.LiveLdapLookup, com.vontu.lookup.csv.CsvLookup, com.vontu.lookup.xls.ExcelLookup
