Allow PERSONID to be different than USERID

When we manually create a user in MAS, or if the user is synchronized from LDAP, there is no way to set the PERSONID to a different value than the USERID. MAS User administration only has USERID and USERNAME (which translates to maximo.loginid). It automatically sets the PERSONID the same value as the USERID in the database.


We need to way to set PERSONID as a different value as USERID when creating the user manually in MAS, and a way to specify which attribute to sync PERSONID in LDAPSync like we could in Maximo 7.x utilizing UserMapping.

    Autoscripting and LDAP extension mapping don't address cases where the PERSONID is not in an integration or LDAP payload and must be supplied manually.

    Hi - currently using autoscripting allows you to effectively use the user exit (after) script point and change that json that is generated by our standard exit. IBM development will be documenting this and will post to our public doc site in next few weeks. From LDAP perspective in our next release we will allow extension mapping.
