CSV File : contains new and existing user data : using add/update : Job fails for new records (expects existing ID)

[mbraden001]

A CSV file contains user data--some are already in Alma, others are new users to Alma. All have Primary ID (in a column in the CSV)

Configured job using 'add/update'. Existing and new will all be External User Accounts.

Job results: for new users, job fails--expects an existing User Account and match on Primary ID.

So one can only update/enrich External?

Many thanks for your counsel and help.

@mbraden001, I just did a test and successfully created 3 new external users and updated 1 existing external user in the same csv input file. That is the correct use case, right?

My profile had User Type = External and Profile Type = Add/Update. My input csv file contained the following headers: First Name;Last Name;External Code;Primary Identifier;User Group;Preferred Language;Expiration Date;Password;Address;Address Type;Email;Email Type;Job Description

What is the header line like in your input csv file?

Thanks so much.

My csv file was similar, but I'll try the settings (external), alongside add/update. Some of the existing User Accounts are Internal, but I do not know which are internal and which external, so perhaps I'll test a group of existing records, and set configuration for External, add/update, to see whether the App will proceed through these.

Again, thanks.
