make creation of include/exclude group structure by loader jobs transactional

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      A grouper loader job may be configured to create the includes/excludes group structure. For example 

      students_systemOfRecord
      students includes
      students excludes
      students system of record and includes
      students

      The creation of the groups, however, is not transactional. If the loader process is killed or dies while the groups are being created the group structure can be incomplete with one or more of the groups missing. When the loader is restarted and that job run again the incomplete group structure is not detected and healed, but at the same time the creation of the group structure is skipped going forward, particularly if the creation of the SOR group did complete.

      This is an RFE so that the creation of the group structure is transactional–the creation of the group structure should succeed completely or fail completely. Further, when the loader job next runs the creation of the group structure should be tried again if it did not succeed previously.
