Importing Custom Attributes into User Profile using MIM 2016 with AD and SQL connector

I currently have MIM 2016 configured and working to import Active Directory Profiles into a SharePoint 2019 farm. I would like to add custom attributes to the user profiles and import them in from SQL. prior to SharePoint 2016 we would use a BCS/BCD connection and import the attributes this way. with the newer way of doing things (MIM) I cant seem to figure it out.

what I have done:
Created the ADMA and SPMA connectors and have them working
Created a MIMMA and installed a portal onto the farm (Sync rules)
Created a SQL MA connector
created a couple custom attributes in the metaverse for "person"

now what?! I cant seem to find any info anywhere for that.

Hi @kscharaswak,

You could try to use the SharePoint Active Directory import option (AD import) as an alternative to using Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM).

1.Configure SharePoint Server to use AD Import.

2.Create a connection to a directory service for import.

3.Map user profile properties.

4.Start profile synchronization.

For More Details: Configure profile synchronization by using SharePoint Active Directory Import in SharePoint Server
