Displaying a user on the user & groups tab.

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello, I accidentally deleted a user via the Opentext Content server - Enterprise - User & Groups tab. However, I can still view the user via Content server administration - Configure directory services. How can I go about displaying it on the user & groups tab on the interface again?

The OTDS is a separate database of information, to make the OTDS user get created in OTCS, one performs what is called a Consolidation. The scary word just means that OTDS will invoke a SOAP request and create the user by the same name in OTCS.If that is wrong OTDS logs will say I can't do what you ask and then you should troubleshoot that

PS: OTCS is almost deprecating SAP which requires CWS to be exposed in a server and connected to CS. When writing OTDS still uses SOAP to make users in OTCS.Expect OTDS to use REST API as OTCS newer versions happen.

SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol.CWS or Webservices of OTCS is an implementation of SOAP.AFAIK this is used by OTDS currently for User/Group operations in OTCS.

SAP is a German product (behemoth) that used to have almost a monopoly on the ERP market. OT has a lot of vested interests with SAP as they developed Archive Link ADK which is the most widely selling Extended ECM leading application product.

When I was replying I accidentally made a typo PS: OTCS is almost deprecating SAP

most readers probably could understand I was meaning SOAP instead of SAP :)

Hopefully, this errata clarifies that.
