We have a nightly agent which pulls data (user information) from an Oracle directory into the NAB (creating/updating person docs).
This is great for new people/entries, unfortunately it’s overwriting the ‘username’ and ‘internet password’ fields of some existing users and I’m having to reset them each morning (after the agent runs).
Is there something similar to the “do not allow refresh design to modify” design element setting in which I can specify a set of documents not to be touched by any agent or is my only option to pore through pages of this other guy’s code?
any help is greatly appreciated,
tks,

no simple way but you could apply a reader name field that contained a group that represents all of your users and servers with the exception of the signer of the agent. then the agent won’t be able to see the documents.
Probably easier to just edit the code.
HTH,

It would be best to change the agent. You need to find where he identifies which documents to work on and add additional logic. Should not be that hard.

I’ll either modify the agent itself or write another one to change the values back after the first one runs.
It shouldn’t be a difficult process but this guy doesn’t write a single continuous piece of code, there are functions that are called and script libraries that are called, etc. so one has to jump back and forth between these various places when following the code,
thanks for answering my ? though,
