Hi,

 We're in a middle of a huge pilot implementation for K2, we discovered that the hierarchy structure of the company is held in a different repository "HR System" rather than MS Active Directory. I'm not sure if I'm getting into this in the right way or not. What I'm thinking of is either to map the company's structure at once to the K2 destination rule individually or to use ADAM to rebuild a better organizational structure.

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Saleh
 

Hi geek,


Why don't U go for SQLUM ?


I am also not sure whether what I am suggesting is right or not because I have not worked in AD at all. In SQLUM , U can also configure the database as per Ur requirement.


I am also doing the same thing.


 SQLUM is still a valid option, but AD is more reliable to work with. I would rather to stick with AD or ADAM in large implementations.

 Btw, did you check this note about SQLUM:

"Please Note: The K2.net™️ 2003 SQL User Manager is not supported by the
K2.net™️ Support Team. It is therefore recommended that the components are
tested prior to implementation as part of a production environment."

 

Do you find SQLUM reliable and scalable enough in your production environment?

 On the other, Destination Queues are also a valid option. But you will build your own destination group within K2 only...
 

Thanks for your reply!
 


Hi,


I suggested to go for SQLUM only because I am currently using it . I have no idea at all about AD. I found SQLUM also to be scalable cause I was able to add extra columns in one of the table provided by SQLUM.


U can also go for Destination Queue.


Just a note here.  The open source version of SQLUM is unsupported.  However, the later versions (non-open source. i.e. SP2a or later) are supported.  There are many customers that I do know of who use SQLUM in production environments under load.


 As mentioned, SQLUM is primarily used when AD is not an option in the environment.  AD is still a preferred choice due to it's ability to scale better (i.e. horizontal vs vertical for SQL Server).
