I am currently working on doing some implementations using the great Granfeldt Powershell MA.
I have schema, import and export working, but face a problem with export when I want to use attributes in connectorspace to perform something, not just updating. Like for executing a powershell command, where I need both the userprincipalname and the location,
or something like that.
I have created a simple example MA just for the purpose of testing this issue. It manages ContactInformation from a database (email, phone) and accepts the first and lastname back from the FIM metaverse from other source. I use the latest Powershell MA.
The problem is in export.ps1 (shown later in this post), in the line that says...:
$ExternalEmail = $_.ExternalEmail
I would expect this value to be filled with the value from the connectorspace, but it is just blank. There is a value in there, this is not the first time it runs or anything like that. I see the same approach used in the Lync samples for Powershell MA,
so I assume I am doing something wrong somewhere else.
Can you please help by telling me what I am doing wrong?
This is the pending export I test with:
