DelorionAssign SNC names
Build SNC names from user attributes and check the exact substitutions before applying them.
Applies to userXpress 1.9.5.50
An SNC name must match your organization’s SAP identity configuration. Confirm the required prefix and naming format with your SAP administrator.
Assign a name
- Select the users in the Global User Table.
- Open Assign SNC.
- Use Standard to combine an available attribute with Previous and Following text, or Advanced to enter a variable expression.
- Check the Example value.
- Confirm the assignment and inspect the results for the selected users.
The example previews one selected user’s values. Check that the expression is appropriate for every account in the selection. Attributes unavailable for part of the selection cannot safely be used.
Standard mode combines a prefix and suffix with the selected account value.
Variable reference
Variable names are case-sensitive. Use one casing variant per attribute in an expression.
| Attribute | Uppercase | Initial capital | Lowercase |
|---|---|---|---|
| First name | $FIRST |
$First |
$first |
| Last name | $LAST |
$Last |
$last |
$EMAIL |
$Email |
$email |
|
| User ID | $USER |
$User |
$user |
“Initial capital” uppercases the first character and lowercases the rest. It does not preserve mixed-case names. Check the preview for names containing accented characters or other locale-sensitive text.
Examples
For user ID SMITH_J, first name John, last name Smith and email john.smith@example.com:
| Expression | Result |
|---|---|
$First.$Last@example.com |
John.Smith@example.com |
p:$user@sales.example.com |
p:smith_j@sales.example.com |
p:$email |
p:john.smith@example.com |
p:CN=$user, O=example, C=US |
p:CN=smith_j, O=example, C=US |
These examples illustrate text substitution. They do not establish the correct SNC configuration for your environment. Literal prefixes, punctuation and spaces remain part of the generated name.
Advanced mode previews the result of the entered variable expression.
If a variable is unavailable
Check the selected users for missing first names, last names or email addresses. Correct the data or use an available attribute. If a preview still contains a variable token, do not apply the expression until the spelling and selected data have been checked.
