A phone system could be a simple SQL table. The basic idea is that all employees should be in the phone system, and MIM is responsible for creating them. We discuss this simple example to show you how to add additional data from a secondary system to an identity created by a system configured for Metaverse projection.
Once the users are created in the phone system, the system is responsible for entering phone and office location data, which is then imported back into MIM.
To manage the users in this SQL-based phone system, we need to create the MA. Since we have walked through the steps on how to do this for our HR system, we will point out some basics:
The Management Agent type would be SQL Server, and we give it the name Phone. Using an SQL alias of dbPhone, we connect to the Phone database and the PhoneData table containing the phone data.
Next, we set the ID column as anchor and the Object Type as person:
