I want to set the connector filter to exclude contacts that don't have an email adress. I have checked this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.query.conditionoperator.aspx and there is a filterType "NotNull" however IdB won't let me save "emailaddress1 NotNull". I think it is looking for a value on the other side of the filter, but for this I don't need one.

I tried setting setting "emailaddress1 NotNull Null" and also tried setting fieldValue="" in the Connector XML but for both I get this error in running the Import: "Condition operation 'NotNull' requires that no values are set".

Also tried "emailaddress1 Contains @" but I guess emailaddress1 isn't full-text indexed as I got the SQL error mentioned in the article.

And "emailaddress1 NotEqual Null" was accepted, and imported, but imported everything, irrespective of emailaddress1 having a value or not.

IdB 4.1.5. The version number on the FIMEngine dll is 4.0.0.3.

There are no objects in the adapter, however I would still expect a container to be imported into FIM when I run a Full Import. Instead I get no objects, which means I can't provision as I don't have the parent container. How can I get that container object?

The container object type appears in the MA Object Types. The DN template in the adapter is "CN=@IdBID,OU=PRISM_ExternalIdentities".

I have installed FIM adapter 5.0.4.0 (I see a more recent version in the doco but that is the latest under subscribers). When trying to create the MA for IDB5, I can browse for the FIMAdapter.dll, but when I refresh interfaces I get error The extension could not be loaded.

I have looked at http://voice.unifysolutions.net/topics/428-creating-idb-5-ecma2-receive-error-could-not-load-file-or-assembly-microsoftmetadirectoryservicesex/

And tried modifying the new version listed for both mmsscript and miisserver config files, but the error persists.

Any idea what else to try?

Update Aurion person connector, set a description. The summary reports Comment: a comment has not been provided. Can see no way to get a description added using the UI (have not tried direct in XML). Really really low priority. I may be the only person who has ever tried adding a description ...

Setting the Aurion agent timeout. select minute dialogue dropdown and select 5 rather than default 10, the timout field now shows null.00:05:00 and attempting to save advises this is not valid. Have to edit the field to remove the null.

My Aurion connector to a DEV system has some dirty data in in (duplicate employeeID) and so fails while retrieving the second page of 1000 users. Where is that page size configured? I cannot see anything in the Agent or Connector (through GUI or in XML) but would like to reduce the size so I get more users before we hit the failure

My Aurion QueryID is 16 characters long, but because we are sending a parameter/option with the queryID (i.e. my QueryID field is like: query1234567890a,XML_FILE_PATH=file.xml) I am getting the validation error message.

I see from this

http://voice.unifysolutions.net/topics/326-improve-error-message-when-queryid-exceeds-maximum-length/

that this is desired/expected behaviour, but could we please either only validate that string up to the comma or add a field for any parameters that we want to append?

We need to test this use case given the changes to how we use the contact object

Setting up the Aurion connector, sending as the query ID the query name and the XML_FILE_PATH. The import all fails with error

in the log we get:

Import all entities from connector failed.
Import all entities from connector AurionUser failed with reason Expecting '?', '*', or '+'. Line 4, position 77.. Duration: 00:02:00.8921187
Error details:
System.Xml.XmlException: Expecting '?', '*', or '+'. Line 4, position 77.

That suggests to me that there is a problem with the XML, but since we are using the XML_FILE_PATH just referring to the xml file name and the query is just writing to the file with no directory, there is no physical file to look at (this is how the Aurion guys have configured it). They did export me a file to a directory. Line 4 is:

<!ELEMENT AQT_Output (First_Name, ... Preferred_Name_+_Surname, ...)>

and position 77 is just after the + in the middle of a composite full name field.

I can see no reason why "+" would cause issues as it is not one of the 5 XML reserved characters(<,>,&,",'), but I am asking the Aurion consultant to remove that field from the query.

Any ideas why it would be an issue?
