Directory attribute changes in Support of STARS
Some directory attribute values will be changing due to a new feed implementation supporting the move of student and employee data to the PeopleSoft system. These changes will be in production starting 03/24/08. The following table contains the details of these changes. Please contact us at idmgmt@cornell.edu if you have any questions.
Application owners will be able to test with the new values in our test environment and move any application changes into production according to the following schedule. CHECK STATUS-PROGRESS HERE.
- March 10: New attributes available for application testing using the test directory: test.directory.cornell.edu
- March 21-23: Although the "electronic email" tab of WhoIAm will continue to be available, some of the options in the "Electronic Directory" tab may be unavailable; some directory attributes will be in flux as the conversion proceeds
- March 21, 5:00pm: Last date that the old values will be present in the production Directory
- March 24, 8:00am: Date that the new values will be present in the production Directory

| 6 | homepostaladdress cornelledunvhomeaddress |
will contain postal or zip code + 4 & will include province and country. For students these are now mixed case rather than uppercase. Also for students, abbreviations may no longer have a period - e.g. "ST." becomes "St". In cases where the PeopleSoft address and the SIS address differ, the PS address is now used. | |
| 7 | cornelleduwrkngtitle1
cornelleduwrkngtitle2 |
Will no longer be user-entered via WhoIAm. What people have entered now in WhoIAm will now be maintained by their HR Rep. If no working title has been entered in WhoIAm, then the working title in the directory will be the same as the university title (where now it is blank.) | |

| 9 | cornelledutype & edupersonprimaryaffiliation |
Affiliates who are also students will now be type student. (Most affiliates do not have a PeopleSoft record unless they are students.) | |
| 10 |
cornelledulocaladdress,
cornelledunvlocaladdress |
In some cases the building name will be followed by a comma and the room number, whereas the room number used to be before the building name with no comma. In some cases for dormitory names, the name is slightly different (e.g. "Risley" becomes "Risley Residential College") | |
| 11 | homephone
mobile facsimileTelephoneNumber cornelledulocalphone cornelleducampusphone |
In some cases the phone number was represented with a "-" between the area code and phone number, and may now have a "/" after the area code. Only the first campus phone number will be migrated into PS, so people who previously had more than one campus phone number will now only have the first one listed in the directory. | |
| 12 | givenName
cornelledumiddlename displayName cn sn cornelledunamesuffix |
For students only: these name fields used to be represented entirely in uppercase. They will now be mixed case. Employees and others will remain mixed case. In cases where the PS name and SIS name are different the PS name is used. Many of these differences occur with middle names. | |
| 13 | cornelleduunivtitle1 & 2, cornelledudeptname1 & 2, other job related data | For some employees with 2 jobs, their primary and secondary jobs have been corrected with this conversion, so they may appear as the opposite of what they were before. (Job 1 is now Job 2 etc.) Also, for a small number of special job codes, job data will no longer be shown in the directory. | |
