uclaPersonNameSuffix
Definition
The uclaPersonNameSuffix is the name suffix of the person represented by the identity entry in the UCLA Enterprise Directory.
Data Flow
The Enterprise Directory retrieves SUFFIX_NAME from the UID system via the Campus Data Warehouse (CDW) in realtime manner. For each person, the UID system contains names recorded at 4 different university systems. They are Student Record System (SRS), Student Information System (SIS), Payroll Personnel System (PPS), and University Extension System (UNEX). Names from these systems are flagged in APP_ID field accordingly as SR0, SI0, PP0, and UNX. The Enterprise Directory select the name to populate cn base on the following logic:
- a. If a person currently has student affiliation (flagged as "SRSAffiliated" in uclaPersonDirectoryListAffiliation), select the name in the order below no matter what other affiliation this person has:
- 1. SR0 name
- 2. SI0 name
- 3. PP0 name
- 4. UNX name
- b. Else, if a person currently has employee affiliation (flagged as "PPSAffiliated" in uclaPersonDirectoryListAffiliation), select the name in the order below:
- 1. PP0 name
- 2. SR0 name
- 3. SI0 name
- 4. UNX name
- c. Else, meaning a person does not have either student of employee affiliation, go with the same order of step a.
- Note: If the name selected is found with APP_USAGE_STATUS <> 'A', an error message will be logged but the name still goes in ED.
