How to: Merge Multiple Attributes from the Same Management Agent
The following examples show how to merge the value of the samAccountName and mailNickName attributes from multiple Forefront Identity Manager Synchronization Service (FIM Synchronization Service) database (metaverse) connector space objects of the same management agent to the same MVEntry object. If the multi-valued attribute exists, the connector space attribute values are merged into the samAccountName and mailNickName attributes of the metaverse object.
Note
If your management agents link multiple connector space objects to the same metaverse object, you must explicitly assign values from the connector space object attributes to the metaverse object attributes, such as the samAccountName and mailNickName attributes in the following example.
Before you use this rule extension, you must modify the metaverse attribute flow precedence rules in the Metaverse Design window so that it allows manual precedence rules to be applied to this attribute.
