In IDaaS the full import of a chris21 connector is receiving an error as logged in the log file as follows. It seems to point to a problem with SQL Error code 40174.

The cause was identified as a result of throttling on Azure DB.

Solution: Increasing the DTU capacity on the DB in Azure.

In order to aid diagnosis of failing processes, I think it would be a good idea for there to be a configurable option to provide detailed diagnosis information at every interface boundary within Identity Broker.

By that, I mean every Identity Broker process that has interfaces should be able to have a decorator inserted to provide details information about the methods and data provided at each step of a process. This would prevent the kinds of Product Support issues where: "I can't really tell what's going on so I suspect something is wrong with Identity Broker".

After deploying UNIFY Identity Broker for Microsoft FIM v3.0.0 (x86).msi from https://unifysolutions.jira.com/wiki/display/SUBIDBFIM/Downloads and completing my IdB 3.0.6 DEEWR configuration, I was ready to create an instance of the IdB FIM xMA ...

After installing using the default options, I found that:

(b) Exported the "ILM xMA" file ... using the IdB Management studio my first choice was to select the third ILM 2 option (since this is the name that FIM was originally known). This was a mistake because the MA config pointed to a Unify.Adapters.* dll which I could not locate on the server. Figuring that the PDF and naming conventions were focused on ILM2007 FP1, I re-exported using this option and found this generated an MA config which referenced the same DLL deployed by this package (Unify.Framework.ILM2007FP1Adapter.dll). This means that either (a) there is a DLL which is missing from the install, or (b) the IdB console needs to be changed to remove the third option, or (c) the generated xMA is using the wrong DLL.

I believe we should actually retain the third option but rename it to FIM 2010 ... even if it generates a file of the same format as ILM2007 ... as it is going to confuse otherwise. If so the PDF file needs to be updated to accommodate all (3?) supported versions (maybe we need to lose MIIS SP2?).

This work may well have been earmarked for future attention, but I couldn't find anything in JIRA about this already.

When the relational connector is updated for the multivalue DN generator transformation, the changes register errors with the following:

Change detection and other logs using paging seem to start from page 2 - there is no page 1 in the log. See below for an example:

The last errored state of a connector is not cleared on start of that job. This means that if that job has errored before, when inactive the background-colour will be red.

When attempting to install v4.0 to the same directory as v3.0.7, all the new extensibility files are added to the directory, and all the old ones are kept. When attempting to start the service, the following error appears:

Identlty Broker connects to Chris21 via the Chris21 Internet Option asp method.
It logs on to the Chris21 API with a Chris21 user account named IBROKER.
We would like to change the account Identity Broker uses to be an Active Directory Account as our instance of Chris21 has an account expiry for all Chris21 local accounts of 1 month. (this is a global setting in Chris21).
Our Chris21 administrator has suggested that if Identity Broker can use and AD account, the account expiry can be controlled by AD - so we can set it to not expire.
Please provide a quote on this work before proceeding if it is not covered by support hours..

From IDB-1177, the Identity Broker scheduler should retain the last state on service restart.
