Expedited Bulk Add Scenario

The following procedure illustrates how a few users can be quickly added to Waveset using Create actions. Any resources referenced in the CSV file must be defined within Waveset before the CSV file is loaded into the system.

To Perform a Bulk Add

1. Generate a CSV file that contains information needed to perform a Create bulk action. See Create Bulk Actions for more information about the format of the CSV file.

2. If your CSV file does not contain passwords, set the default Password Policy Options so that passwords are generated by the system. To do this, click the Configure tab, then Policies on the left. Click the Default Waveset Account Policy link. Then select the Generated option from Password Provided by drop-menu.

3. Create a new provisioning task based on the default Create User provisioning task.

   From the XML view, in the TaskDefinition tag, edit the value of the resultLimit parameter to 0. This value determines the number of seconds the results of the task is to be retained.

   Then delete the following sections from the task:

   <Activity id=’1’ name=’Approve’> ... </Activity> <Activity id=’3’ name=’Notify’> ... </Activity>

   ---

   Note –

   The activity calling to the provisioner must remain, or users will not be created properly.

   ---

   Be sure to rename the task, to a value such as Fast Create User.

4. Create a new user form based on the default User form.

   From the XML view, replace the entire <Form>... </Form> structure with the following:

   <Form help=’account/modify-help.xml’> <Field name="viewOptions.Process"> <Expansion> <s>Fast Create User</s> </Expansion> </Field> </Form>

   Be sure to rename the user form, to a value such as Fast User Form.

5. Create an Waveset account that will be used to load accounts into Waveset. Assign the user form created in Expedited Bulk Add Scenario to this user.

6. Log in to Waveset using the account created in the previous step.

7. Run the Create bulk action.
