How to Re-Export a User Attribute to a Target System

This guide explains how to manually re-export or update a user attribute from eADM a target system, such as Active Directory (AD).

Normally, eADM exports values that have changed since the last synchronization. However, in certain situations, you may need to perform a manual, full re-export of an attribute.

This procedure is useful when:

  • Manual changes have been made directly in the target system (e.g., AD) that you need to overwrite with data from eADM.

  • You have updated an expression in the Source column in an eADM mapping and want to apply this change retroactively to all users.

  • A static value must be re-exported for all users to ensure that the target system is updated correctly.



Procedure

Follow these steps to manually trigger a re-export for one or more attribute mappings.

  1. Go to Synchronization > Synchronization Templates.

  2. Select the appropriate synchronization template for the target system you want to update.

  3. On the Export tab, locate the attribute mapping you want to re-export.

  4. To re-export a single attribute, click the Export mapping (play icon) button at the far right of that attribute's row.


Note: To re-export all attributes in the template at once, click the Export attributes button (fast-forward icon) in the top menu bar.


  1. A new dialog box will open. Here, you can specify the scope of the export. Choose whether the export should apply to All users or a specific selection (Select).

  2. You have two options:

    • Preview: Click here to review the data that will be exported before running the task.

    • Execute: Click this to add the re-export task to the eADM queue immediately.

  3. If you choose to preview the data, you can filter the results to make them easier to review.


Note: For the clearest overview, filter the preview by ID. This will sort the export data by the user's unique ID in eADM. You can find a user's ID by checking the URL when viewing their profile in the eADM .


  1. Once you have confirmed that the data is correct, click Execute to complete the re-export to the target system.
