When the service isn't running and action refresh is left running on a page (such as the Operations screen), the Event Broker layout is displayed twice (inside itself).

Upgrade - Retaining of existing service account details

Bob Bradley 11 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 2

Possibly in the "nice to have" category, but it would definitely further improve the upgrade experience if it was possible to detect the existing service account details and show these in the installer wizard. If this is achievable I think this would be worth the effort - password as well if possible.

FIM Sync service fails to respond to a stop request while Event Broker service is running

Bob Bradley 11 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 2

Although intermittent, I have observed the FIM Sync service failing to respond to a stop command, and "hang" in the "stop pending" state. I have then consistently found that when I also shut down the Event Broker service the FIM Sync service immediately responds to the stop request.

Once the symptom occurs, the remediation (restarting Event Broker service) has been successful for me in 100% of cases.

Disable workflow checkbox in FIM Event Broker Workflow

Matthew Woolnough 10 years ago updated by anonymous 7 years ago 4

Disable workflow checkbox in FIM Event Broker Workflow would be great. Have to delete it to disable it otherwise & reimplementing is painful.

Improve LDAP Changes plugin with more configurable options

Patrick Johannessen 10 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 1

Some LDAPv3 servers are not quite as compliant as we thought. We need to add more configurable options so that different systems can be accommodated for the end user, with possible documentation on which configurations are expected to work for different directories/versions. For example, some servers don't support server side sort, but still work when the control isn't used (eDir); others support sort, but use a different OID (Oracle).

FIM Event Broker-driven monitoring of FIM environments

Bob Bradley 10 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 5

I have been trialing the use of Windows Event Log subscription emails as per my post here. Lately @ CSODBB these have proven very useful in early detection of issues such as unexpected 3rd party Identity Broker connector outages, or unexpected AD activity (scripted updates of AD accounts causing unexpected sync load). I mentioned this to Shane Day and he suggested I put in a feature request, so here it is.

I envisage an extension to Event Broker in several independent/complementary ways:

  1. New change detection feature for Windows Event logs (potentially subscriber-push notifications) - these would complement the existing file changes detection for monitoring FIM and related logging;
  2. Enhanced file logging to allow the specification of filtering in the log file in a similar way to what is possible with Event Logs - idea is that you may want to subscribe to only certain entry types in a file log (note that for Identity Broker this would be achievable already by specifying a Windows event logger instead, but other services that write file logs may not have this option);
  3. an SMTP email operation (yes you can do this in PowerShell now, but with some thought you could use a wizard automate the creation of a PowerShell plugin with use of Cmdlets to provide basic parameter-driven email notifications);
  4. enhanced log reading capabilities to improve searches;
  5. enhanced log presentation capabilities (UI) to map occurrences of specified event filters over time for a range of log files - including Event Broker's own log files)

All of the above require more thought, but I'm really thinking of how to create something to improve the quality of our own UNIFY health checks, initially by providing an enhanced, more responsive service, but secondly improving the product's own capabilities to attract the market that was once there for NetPro's (now Quest's possibly defunct) Mission Control for ILM.

File Changes Plugin repeating irself in the endless loop once triggerd

Shane Lim 13 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 11

The Incoming Event for the Event Broker for File Changes Plugin continuously repeating the Run Profile Operations in it eventhouh the file was only changed once.

Created CSV MA in FIM

Create CSV MA in Event Broker, see attached image for details.

Make change to the specified file only once (closing the file or not seems to have no effect). The whole operation is repeating itself continuously. This occurs whether I added the "Commit File Changes Plugin, On Failure=Fail" or not.
See the image of log details.

This also happen when I only have two Rule Profile operation entries for the CSV MA.

The configuration for the File Changes Plugin is

<FileChanges> 
	<FileName><![CDATA[ 
		C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\MaData\FIM_CSV_pdt_AHG_MA-AHG\sample_data_csv_ahg.csv
	]]></FileName> 
	<GroupName> 
		CVSFileGroup
	</GroupName> 
</FileChanges>

The configuration for the Commit Changes Plugin is (see attached image for details)

<FileChanges>
	<FileName><![CDATA[
		C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\MaData\FIM_CSV_pdt_AHG_MA-AHG\sample_data_csv_ahg.csv
	]]></FileName>
	<GroupName>
		CSVFileGroup
	</GroupName>
</FileChanges>

Although this does not seems to correspond to the documentation on Jira File Changes .

Could you advise me what I did wrong with this configuration?

EvB service will not start

Mark Phillips (Virgin Australi 12 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 19

EvB service will not start. Manual control hangs and even server reboot will not allow for service to start. There are many entries in log for Error (-1): Error in MIIS Run Profile: call-failure:0x8007052E as well. If service start selected from menus it appears to start running but then only processes 1 or 2 operations before stopping again.

This resulted in having to spend almost 3 hours yesterday manually setting connectors for new user account of which there were over 124. Then once all connectors were set, ran export to AD to get accounts created. Normal operation of MA's does not appear to be working either.

Provide outgoing provisioning functionality

Matthew Clark 13 years ago updated by anonymous 8 years ago 9

Outgoing operation lists require a v3.0 equivalent to the "Outgoing Provisioning Pending" from former Event Broker versions. This likely will take the form of an outgoing check operation, checking the targeted FIM instance's database for pending export on particular MAs. In addressing this, the following questions will need to be addressed:

  • Check if MAs have an ID that is consistent, even after management agent rename
  • Check the WMI interface to see if you can trigger an MA by its ID rather than its name
