File Changes Plugin repeating irself in the endless loop once triggerd

Shane Lim 14 years ago • updated by anonymous 9 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?

Shane, thank you very much for the extensive information on the issue. This is probably the issue - your group name is different between the File Changes and Commit File Changes - CVSFileGroup vs. CSVFileGroup. Unless they're the same, the Commit doesn't work, and hence it will constantly register as a change

Thanks Matthew for your quick response and pick up of my mistake.

Could you help me to clarify if the documentation in the Event Broker Administrator guide and online on Jira File Changes Plugin is also correct?

Thank you.

Assigned back to Shane to check

Yes Shane, the documentation is correct. Your configuration looks fine outside of the mismatch in group name

Shane Lim 14 years ago

The issue is resolved.

However, testing of the instruction for the documentation for Commit File Changes Plugin configuration does not work and the OK button is not enabled.

 
<CommitFileChanges> 
   <GroupName>CSVFileGroup</GroupName> 
</CommitFileChanges>

Re-open and re-assign to Matthew for further commment or making appropriate correction to the documenation.

Sorry Shane, not entirely sure what the issue is with the configuration you just mentioned - what happens?

Shane Lim 14 years ago

Hi Matthew,

Sorry I was not being was explaining in full.

The following configuration for the "Commit File Changes Plugin" works. The format/syntax is automatically generated by adding the Operation action.

<FileChanges>
	<FileName><![CDATA[
		Full_path_filename
	]]></FileName>
	<GroupName>
		FileGroupName
	</GroupName>
</FileChanges>

However, the instruction on the following Jira File Changes and in pdf documentation said this format/syntax should be used.
This format/syntax does not work.

Commit File Changes
The Commit File Changes Plug-in accepts parameters via XML in order to operate. The default configuration is as follows: 

<CommitFileChanges> 
   <GroupName>MyGroupName</GroupName> 
</CommitFileChanges> 

A typical configuration might look like (in the case where there is a single File MA): 

<CommitFileChanges> 
   <GroupName>textFileChanges</GroupName> 
</CommitFileChanges> 
•GroupName - The plug in is a "paired" plug in which must always be configured in conjunction with a File Changes plug-in. This is the unique name shared by both plug in configurations via which the two plug-ins are associated.

Thus either I misunderstood something or the documentation is incorrect or has changed.

Re-assign to Matthew with more details provided.

Investigating

Shane, you're correct. The documentation on JIRA has been updated appropriately. Apologies for the confusion, this would have been incorrect in our documentation for quite some time.

Shane Lim 14 years ago

Thank you Matthew for your help.

Confirmed online documentation in Jira is updated to the correct syntax.
