Identity Broker Full Import Scheduling

Richard Green 13 years ago • updated by anonymous 9 years ago • 8

Hi Guys,

I've run accross an interesting issue with identity broker import scheduling. As an example, I have the following full import schedule configured for the DET Oneschool connector in SPOT:

<getAllEntities>
<timing name="Daily" offset="06:00:00" UseLocal="True" />
</getAllEntities>

The issue we are seeing, is that with this config, whenever the service is started a full import is immeadiately kicked off on this connector, regardless of the time of day. If the service is stopped and started again the same day, the import runs again.

I have seen the same behaviour on the WCIS connector with this config:

<getAllEntities>
<timing name="Daily" offset="05:30:00" UseLocal="True" />
</getAllEntities>

However for the imports that are scheduled to run at after hours in the evening, this behaviour is not exhibited. For example, the following config is on the HRuI connector:

<getAllEntities>
<timing name="Daily" offset="18:00:00" UseLocal="True" />
</getAllEntities>

It appears that any runs that are scheduled for the morning, reoccur whenever the service is started. As the Oneschool connector contains ~600k entities, this is rather inconvenient.

I've attached the entire connector config if needed for analysis. Is there anything evidently wrong here that can be quickly corrected? Is this a known issue?

Cheers
Richard

Improve feedback on inaccessible extensibility directory

Tony Sheehy 13 years ago • updated by anonymous 9 years ago • 6

When the extensibility directory cannot be written to due to permissions, the following is logged:

This does not really explain what's actually happening, and should be updated to reflect the exact cause for why the service couldn't start.

Null values stored to database for multivalue attributes

Matthew Clark 13 years ago • updated by anonymous 9 years ago • 6

During a full import from a MOSS List adapter, the following error is thrown inside the lazy evaluation stream. This may be because of a bad or incorrect null check in the LDIF components:

Improve handling of Root Organization behaviour

Matthew Clark 13 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Microsoft SharePoint • updated by anonymous 10 years ago • 4

See APRA-38, IDBSP-47 and http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010programming/thread/e9c91765-4c35-424d-888d-58e993783855. SharePoint 2010 will become unresponsive if the root organization is set to be its own parent, even though SharePoint does not prevent you from doing so programmatically or via the UI. Both the UI and the object model are affected by this bug. SharePoint considers the root organization to be the first organization with a parent of -1 in its database (ie. how it determines its value of the RootOrganization property). It is operationally and functionally valid for multiple organizations to exist with a parent of -1, and also to be self-referential (ie. their own parent), but doing so on the profile SharePoint considers its root brings about this instability. The connector could account for this functional limitation by preventing the solution from modifying the parent of the root organization. It is then up to solution implementers to ensure the behaviour of their hierarchy is correct.

Estimate includes work initial research carried out already, as well as implementing and testing.

Run an Import all on the Aurion MA is receive stopped-extension-dll-file-not-found error.

André van der Westhuizen 10 years ago • updated by anonymous 10 years ago • 3

Busy configuring a Lab to test IdB 3 to 5 upgrade for Aurion.
Software using:
Server 1:

  • FIM Sync - 4.1.3646.0
  • Unify.Framework.ILM2007FP1Adapter - 3.0
  • Codeless Framework - 3.0.4.4

Server 2:

  • IdB Service - 3.0.8.1
  • IdB Management Studio - 3.0.7* IdB for Aurion - 3.0.5.2
  • SQL 2012

Unify.Framework.ILM2007FP1Adapter.dll file is copied to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\Extensions and the xml is exported from the adapter and copied to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Synchronization Service\UIShell\XMLs\PackagedMAs. The miiserver.exe.config is configured as per Jira.

The Connectors import all entities and the Aurion MA's could be created, but when I run an Import all on the Aurion MA is receive stopped-extension-dll-file-not-found error.
