Using Remove Joins (to view existing joins) generates DataTables Error (SocketException: the target machine active refused it)
The following UI error appears whenever I attempt to view joins via the 'Remove Joins' menu option on a Link in the Netwealth UNIFYConnect DEV instance:
I am using Chrome on the jumpbox VM, logged in with my UNIFY credentials. The error is not written to the UNIFYBroker log.
Fix deployed. Patch for reference (in Web/bin folder)
Improved UNIFYBroker/Plus log/UI messages (de/provisioning counts, incompletes, log message grouping)
UNIFYBroker/Plus would be easier to operate if the following logging and UI messages were added or made more clear:
* A log summary of the count of entities provisioned and deprovisioned by a locker synchronisation (this may already be there, but the terminology is "added" rather than "provisioned" - it would be nice if this was consistent with the UI and clearly delineated as being different to entities "added" to the adapter via reflection)
* An log explanation of the reason(s) why an entity's provision was Incomplete - i.e. which required fields are missing, or whatever else it was that caused it to be Incomplete.
* A way to identify all of the logging messages that are part of the same synchronization operation. In a busy log file it's hard to see the wood for the trees...
* Not to report un-joined and un-provisioned entities for a linker as Incomplete during Baseline Synchronization. The configuration clearly doesn't want these entities in the locker - but the yellow (i) box that appears seems to suggests that something may have gone wrong with them.
Link cannot synchronise a field change from Locker to Adapter
A Locker field value change is not appeared in an Adapter when Changes Synchronization runs. The same Locker/Adapter are able to provision objects just fine.
The UNIFYBroker/Plus config and logs are available in the Netwealth UNIFYConnect DEV instance; the Locker is "Employee", the Adapter is "SPOL Employee Suspensions", the Link is "Employees > SPOL Employee Suspensions". To trigger the change I make a change to a field value in the Employee connector source (an SFTP CSV file), run an Import All on the "ELMO Employees" connector, a Changes Synchronization on the "ELMO Employees > Employees" Link, then finally the Changes Synchronization on the "Employees > SPOL Suspended Employees" Link (which causes the following error to be written to the log):
After deleting a Link's Adapter it's not possible to edit that Link in the UI
The follow error occurs:
To replicate, create a Link for an Adapter, delete the Adapter and then attempt to edit the Link.
"An error has occurred: A link matching the id XXX could not be located" after deleting a Link
After deleting a Link, Adapter and Connector the following error is persistently appearing in the Netwealth UNIFYConnect DEV instance:
Could you please investigate and advise how to get rid of it?
Cannot compare dissimilar column types uuid and bigint at record column 1
All my UNIFYConnect adapters are showing the following error in the log, and all the Pending Changes are stuck in the adapter:
This is happening on the Netwealth UNIFYConnect instance.
Could you please investigate and fix or let me know what I've done wrong?
Patch attached for future reference, should go in the /Services/ directory.
Multiple DC server support for the AD Agent
A client has asked that we configure UNIFYConnect to round-robin through a number of DC IP addresses. I can't find an explicit way to do this in the Agent documentation.
How can I meet this requirement? Create my own DNS entry with multiple IP addresses?
Hi Adrian,
There's no explicit support for multiple server entries in the AD Agent. As you've pointed out, the easiest way is to use a DNS entry which contains multiple IP addresses - either on the service side or the customer side.
Remove LDAP adapter field name restriction for non-LDAP deployments
When deploying UNIFYBroker/Plus the LDAP name restriction for adapter field names is unnecessary - could you please offer a way to turn it off.
Email notifications based on old attribute values
Hi Matt,
In a past discussion with you I mentioned the importance of being able to know both the old and new value of an attribute when deciding to trigger an email notification, and this is an example of that.
Here’s an email requirement detail clarification just in from a UNIFYConnect customer:
“Speaking of emails, a manual process we may have missed. When a staff member is assigned an email address, we manually send them a welcome email from our CEO. If we provide the email content, etc, can you include this step in automation for new (email) users?”
Can you advise how I can detect that an email address attribute (imported from AD) has changed from blank to non-blank? Email addresses are assigned by Exchange policy so that’s the only way I can think of to detect and trigger the above action.
Matt wrote:
You could have a placeholder connector set up that contains ‘users with emails’, and only provision into that adapter/connector if they have an email address. Then run a post provisioning task that sends an email to them.
Or you could compare the entities to determine if a new value has been set in an email field, in one of your existing flows.
For the latter he is referring to the use of $sourceEntities and $targetEntities from PowerShell tasks.
Re-order Connectors and Adapters
In UNIFYBroker we could edit the connector and adapter extensibility files to re-order the connectors and adapters in the web UI. Could you please add a facility to do this in UNIFYConnect?
