Answered No deletes from FULL import - CS object remains

    Hi

    Let me start explaining the customer environment.

    Its a legacy FIM implementation ie. FIM without portal so all provisioning etc is handled with code.

    Version 4.0.3594.2

    My issue is with a standard SQL management agent against Win 2008 R2 SQL server.

    Im using a view and a multivlaueview. No deltatable so only full imports.

    Most of the import flows are direct. 1 attribute is handled with rules extension.

    The problem is that the agent has stopped providing deletes. I only get Adds and Updates.

    I have a user (Lets call him BOB) thats not in the SQL view anymore but there is still a CS object for this user. He has previously worked for the company.

    I created a new run profile and dumped a logfile and and BOB does not show up in logfile xml. CS object still there and no pending deletes after full import.

    I have traced all of the legacy code but theres not much going on that could prevent CS object from beeing deleted on full import.

    Object deletion rule is set to delete when SQL connection is lost.

    Is this a bug or man made ?

    What to do ?

    Which built are you on? Seem to remember something is the release notes for the latest hotfix for FIM R2 about CS object not getting correctly cleaned.

    This solution was implemented more than a year ago and its not R2 updated.

    Patch Version 4.0.3594.2

    I have never seen this error before.

    I created a new MA against same datasource and did full import.

    I have the same number of entries but the "BOB" account is not in CS.

    Oooh, I missed your version number in the post, sorry.

    If you check the (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=2734159), you see issue 4 'In a large scale connector space, data in the obsoletion list becomes unsynchronized during a full import operation. When this issue occurs, the operation returns an error that resembles the following:'

    Whether or not that has to do with you problem (it may have existed in FIM 2010 RTM as well), I don't know. If you're are doing Full Import, it does resemble a bug, so you could file a bug if you think.

    Do you have some duplicate objects?
    If so try to remove the duplicates from your view, that might solve your problem.

    As Fer said.. Are you showing any import errors? If you have import errors - deletes aren't processed.

    Hi

    Yes its a case where i have 1 duplicate and I was trying to work around the issue i guess.

    I will try cleaning up the view and test again.
