Timeout on Chris 21 Connectors

I'm getting timeouts on some Chris21 connectors. They seem to be intermittent, sometimes it works fine. Using v4.1.x Identity Broker and Chris21 connector. The error I get is as follows:

Image 5189

Are there any settings I can tweak on the IdB side to resolve this or is this Chris21 ending the connection early? I think there's a batch size setting or something similar but IdB is so slow to load with this customer I can't check again.

Chris21 Connector Failing - no status attribute

I'm getting the exact same error as in this ticket https://voice.unifysolutions.net/communities/6/topics/3223-import-all-entities-from-connector-chris21-secondment-connector-failed-with-reason-result-record

From the looks of things it's the exact same issue at the same customer. I don't know if Jerry ever resolved it. I've attached the log entry that's showing the error. It's using Idb and Chris 21 versions 4.1.x. Their Chris21 instance is version 8.16.17.

Adam suggested running some Chris 21 query as a resolution but I'm not sure where that query should be run. Is this likely to be a misconfiguration of Chris21 or something with IdB? This is in a test environment.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

Won't fix

Chris21 full import not completing

Chris21 full import is getting partway through and then blocking - no errors thrown, just doesn't complete.

It's only processing 23,000 entities out of a total of 114,000.

Any known issues with C21 upgrades?

Daniel Walters 5 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Frontier ichris/chris21 updated by Adam van Vliet 5 years ago 1

HSF are upgrading their C21 instance over the weekend so I just wanted to check if there's any known issues with upgrades and the broker c21 connector. They say it's an Engine update, going to version 8.16.5. They're using Identity Broker version 4. Any known issues?

Answer
Adam van Vliet 5 years ago

Hi Daniel,

None that I have been made aware of. As you haven't mentioned what version of the connector, or what version of chris21 they are upgrading from, just ensure that you're on the latest available connector, as there was a change to the way logons were performed quite some time ago that we had to update the connector for (logonapplication became an invalid argument). Additionally, as with any upgrade (and in line with Frontier advice), ensure that the integration is included in the upgrade and test plan.

Thanks.

time offset and sliding date window

Jerry Natarajan 6 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Frontier ichris/chris21 updated by Adam van Vliet 6 years ago 4

Unify.Product.IdentityBroker.AdapterEnginePlugInKey.extensibility.config.xml

Hi,

I need some help with 2 items : time offset and sliding date window in IdB Adapter transformations for a customer. They have chris21 as the source system.

IdB version: 4.1

Q1: Sliding Date Window

When an employee starts on a new position from a specific date (i.e 05 June 2018) the data flows in the connector and the data transformation is applied a day earlier(i.e on 04th June 2018). The implication is the job title is changed the day before the correct date. the customer wants to know whats wrong.

The transformation as configured: 

Image 4863


Q2: Time offset

When a user is terminated in chris21, he gets a termdate set and a simple transformation is applied to set the terminated flag as "True"/"False". But for example if a user has term date is 02 july 2018, by logic, it should add 24 hrs and set terminated flag to "true" 03 july 2018 midnight, but the terminated flag is set to "true" only around mid next day(i.e 04 july 2018 midday). Need some help fixing this issue.

Please help me to know where the issue is, thanks. really appreciate and thanks in advance


I have attached the Adapter xml, if you want for reference. Thanks.


Answer

A1: What are the values for posstart and posend fields? A Broker Date field is a timestamp with the time component forced to 00:00:00, so even if the timestamp value from chris is 4-6-2018 23:59:59, the corresponding date value in Broker will be 4-6-2018. Use the offset fields to adjust.

A2: Looking at your configuration, the sliding date window from Q1 is configured for local date values but the time offset flag transformation is not. Figure out what the correct setting should be, then if the flag is still being set incorrectly, follow the same process from A1. Also, offset used should be whole days for date fields due to the explanation above.

Chris21 Writeback failed

Huu Tran 6 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Frontier ichris/chris21 updated 6 years ago 24

Basically, Chris21 does not allow write null into 'detemailad' field but there is no mechanism in the connector to choose not to export null value (FIM does have this feature though). The error message:

Hi Huu,

Upgrading may resolve this issue - the latest release includes a fix where entities were being "updated" (with no changes) in upstream systems even if no values were changed. With the latest version, the solution will not attempt to export changes for entities when their email hasn't changed.

The field that chris21 is specifying as the key (usrlogonid) is missing from the set of returned field names. Could you please try the following request and let me know if the response changes?

cbr="componentlist",screen="USR",showtranslation="s"

If the key field comes through, update the show translation setting on the connector and try again.

How to export to other Chris21 table other than DET Connector

Huu Tran 6 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Frontier ichris/chris21 updated 6 years ago 3

In the standard Chris21 configuration, I have DET connector is the base connector for Chris21 Adapter and I can make the field workPhone exportable (readonly box not ticked) --> All good!

In the Chris21 Adapter, there is a join transformation with POS connector in which the field detemailad is exportable. it is mapped to the ADEmail field in Adapter. However, ADEmail field in the adapter is read-only --> not exportable?

So if I want to write back to detemailad field, do I need to create a separate adapter which have POS connector as the base connector?

 

Answer
Huu Tran 6 years ago

It is a schema provider issue. I added "detemailad" to DET connector manually. Do import and data is polulated

The emp id of 10122 terminated 30/6/2015. Not sure if this helps?

Also this particular secondment record has no end date

Answer
anonymous 7 years ago

The connector checks that there is a status="ok" in each entry. I can't see how end date could have any impact on this. Try running the query in the GTR form for a couple of different forms and compare the output.

Chris 21 : GTR line type is recognized but not valid [Data]

Daniel Walters 7 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Frontier ichris/chris21 updated by anonymous 7 years ago 1

With this patch (Unify.Framework.Chris21GtrWorker.dll) I am receiving the following error:

20170630,05:28:39,chris21 GTR Communicator,List,Warning,"Logout failed with the following message: GTR line type is recognized but not valid [Data].",Verbose

Is this a known error? If so, does it need to be resolved? or else, any direction on how to fix or what problems this may cause because it does appear to be syncing in both directions even with the error.



Answer

If you upgrade to v3.0.6 you should get better feedback on the logout error.
Alternatively, you can set the Skip Logout setting to true to mimic previous behaviour. Otherwise ignore the error as it's just a warning, operation should continue.
