After updating the CRM SDK DLLs one out of six CRM connectors will not import with the error below. The failing connector is for a custom object type, however four of the successful connectors are also importing custom object types.

I have re-produced this in both the Dev and Test environments.

Can you please investigate and advise how to fix it?

I am getting the following error when doing a "Test Connection" from IdB to CRM. The URI address resolves without cert errors in a browser. The CRM connector version is 5.2.0.1

Any idea what this means?

The customer's Unify.Service.Connect.exe occasionally (every few months or so) enters a state where it is consuming a large amount of CPU and memory and unresponsive.

In the most recent case, it was 3.2GB in size and using 100% of all 4 vCPUs on a machine with 12GB of RAM available.

IDB version is 4.1.5 RTM

I have a Custom connector which is throwing an error during Agent 'test connection' & when I try to connect in Connector.  Connector is written by Richard Green.  Richard believes that the error in Agent is being surfaced by code in IdB, not the custom connector. 

I have turned the logging as high as possible, but it doesn't reveal enough information to assist in resolving the issue. 

Is it possible to get more detail in this error?

Suggestions for entity search in IdB (in my personal order of priority):

1. A single place to set up search criteria which includes selecting the column, rather than the search icon at the top of each column

2. Add extra search criteria (search on two or more fields)

3. Selectable columns

It would be good to be able to modify IdB connector schedules without disabling the Connector. However as the main problem is the Adapter also gets disabled this may not be such a nuisance if that other suggestion is resolved.

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question about Identity Broker 5.0.4. 
After 5 mins, the service shutdown with no error. Do you have an idea about the cause? 
There is nothing in the event viewer or in the log. I did some "import all" with no error.
Thanks in advance for your help.

When a user clicks Request Schema, it's not obvious that the schema of the connected system is not shown. What is shown is a merge of the existing schema AND the schema of the connected system. This probably applies to all Connectors, but definitely on the Aurion one.

It's not clear that this is the behaviour.  

When I hit the button "Request Shema", I expect the modal popup to contain the actual schema of the system, not a merge. 

Then, when I hit "Continue with Schema", I expect the existing config to be merged.  Having both options would be even better.

Option 1) Continue with New Schema

Option 2) Continue with Merged Schema
