Mapping attributes to Data Insight data fields
Custom attributes are mapped to
Veritas Data Insight
information with entries in the Attribute Mapping
field for the Data Insight lookup plug-in. Each mapping is entered on a separate line in the field. The order in which these mapping entries appear in the field does not matter.If you use the Data Insight lookup plug-in to retrieve the data owner, this attribute is mapped for you (
Data_User=attr.data-owner-name
). You can also define a mapping for an arbitrary custom attribute that a subsequent plug-in in the lookup plug-in chain uses. Thus, for all other data fields except data-owner-name
, you need to create custom attributes.The syntax for Data Insight attribute mapping is as follows:
{{pn.Matrix}} property= attr.Custom Attribute Name
Where:
- {{pn.Matrix}} propertyTheVeritas Data Insightproperty whose data value is returned to the Enforce Server. This value is used to populate the custom attribute that is specified in the attribute mapping.
- Custom Attribute NameThe name of the custom attribute as it is defined in the Enforce Server.If the name of the attribute contains white-space characters, you must precede each instance of the white space with a backslash. A white-space character is a space or a tab. For example, you need to enter theTotal Writescustom attribute as:attr.Total\ Writes.
Here are some additional mapping examples:
File_Total_Writes = attr.Total\ Writes File_Total_Reads = attr.Total\ Reads File_Total_Writes = attr.Total\ Writes File_Last_Modified_By = attr.Last\ Modified\ By File_Last_Access_Date = attr.Last\ Accessed
All dates are in the
YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm
format (ISO 8601). The date is displayed in the time zone of the Enforce Server.All names and users are in the format .

The following table describes the attribute mapping details for the Data Insight lookup plug-in.
For more than two users, replace "n" with the user number. For example, enter
Most_Active_Reader_3
.Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
Data_User | Attribute that corresponds to the data user. This person uses the file most frequently. The person who uses the file most frequently may not be the person who created the file. |
Business_Owner | Custom attribute that corresponds to the business owner of the data user as defined in the Veritas Data Insight Management Server. |
Custodian_1 | Custom attribute that corresponds to the remediator of the file. (Support for custodian information is available with Veritas Data Insight version 4.0 or later.) |
Custodian_Folder_1 | Custom attribute that corresponds to the URI of the file system or SharePoint folder to which the custodian is assigned. (Support for custodian folder information is available with Veritas Data Insight version 4.0 or later.) |
Data_User_Last_Access | Custom attribute that corresponds to the last time that the data user accessed a file. The format is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm UTC+/-hh . |
Data_User_Reads | Custom attributes that correspond to the read access count of the data user. |
Data_User_Writes | Custom attributes that correspond to the write access count of the data user. |
File_Access_History_Start_Date | Custom attribute that corresponds to the first time that access history for the file was collected. |
File_Last_Access_Date | Custom attribute that corresponds to the last time the file was accessed. |
File_Last_Modified_By | Custom attribute that corresponds to the last user who modified the file. |
File_Total_Reads | Custom attribute that corresponds to the total number of read accesses. |
File_Total_Writes | Custom attribute that corresponds to the total number of write accesses. |
Most_Active_Reader_1 Most_Active_Reader_2 Most_Active_Reader_n | Custom attributes that correspond to the most active readers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_Reader_Reads_1 Most_Active_Reader_Reads_2 Most_Active_Reader_Reads_n | Number of reads from the most active readers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_Reader_Writes_1 Most_Active_Reader_Writes_2 Most_Active_Reader_Writes_n | Number of writes from the most active readers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_User_1 Most_Active_User_2
Most_Active_User_n | Custom attributes that correspond to the most active user. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_User_Reads_1 Most_Active_User_Reads_2 Most_Active_User_Reads_n | Number of reads from the most active users. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_User_Writes_1 Most_Active_User_Writes_2 Most_Active_User_Writes_n | Number of writes from the most active users. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_Writer_1 Most_Active_Writer_2 Most_Active_Writer_n | Custom attributes that correspond to the most active writers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_Writer_Reads_1 Most_Active_Writer_Reads_2 Most_Active_Writer_Reads_n | Number of reads from the most active writers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
Most_Active_Writer_Writes_1 Most_Active_Writer_Writes_2 Most_Active_Writer_Writes_n | Number of writes from the most active writers. You can add any number of active readers to the mapping. |
