UUID Work Process

This section describes the general work flow that you perform when using the UUID tool.

The general work process is as follows:

  1. For each of your company systems you must extract or export the user data and save it in the form of a CSV file in the same format as a CA GovernanceMinder Users DB (UDB). Each of the csv files should be renamed so that they use a *.udb extension. If you have imported the full access rights from those systems in a CA GovernanceMinder configuration, you can use the UDB from these configurations. You must create a data directory and then place the *.udb, or *.cfg files in the data directory.
  2. Specify the path for the UUID Working Directories: Data Directory, Index Directory and Output Directory. (note that all directories must be on same logical drive, e.g., C:\).
  3. Define the mapping definitions for matching users to their resources and accounts across available systems and save the mapping definitions file.
  4. Run the Index.
  5. Enter the path and name of the configuration file that contains the matched data in the Match Process section and run the Match process.
  6. If desired enter the path and name of the configuration file that contains the merged data in the Merge Process section and run the Merge process.
