Import related addresses

Hi there,

How do I import related address for a user when I don't have the Dynamicweb XML? I receive the following XML for an address:

The UserID (W00206) on the address is the *external ID* of the user. How do I map this from W00206 to whatever the ID of the user in AccesUser is? Is there a built-in way or do I need a table script?

Thanks!

Imar

Just what you showed should work. The AccessUserAddressUserId field will join on the ExternalId of the user if it can't find a match on the actual UserId field, as long as you're using the User Provider.

Except that it doesn't work :-)

This query returns a row:

SELECT * FROM AccessUser WHERE AccessUserExternalID = 'K000002'

yet when I import the addresses, I get errors like this:

2022-09-30 15:27:47.291 Error importing user Address 'Contact Address': No user found with UserID or Auto equal to: 'K000002'

Are other keys playing a part here? Is the UID of the address relevant?

I do use the User Provider and it's set up to import users, addresses, groups and relations.

Any other ideas?

I think I figured it out. I switched the entire job from Auto to ExternalID for the primary key and now it works.

Thanks!

Good catch. Sounds like that was the final piece.
