Grouper Developers Forum

No, grouper is the same, the only I changed was a custom Jar for a process that uses the Grouper API, some files in the UI (gettingStarted.jsp and nav.properties) and updated Java from 6u38 to 6u39. I did stop GrouperDaemon and Tomcat to do this update.

 

select * from grouper_group_set where owner_group_id='d3dcd08097f247f7ae432844797ce8ef'

I get 88 rows and the member_group_id matches Groups that were previously there

 

select * from grouper_memberships where owner_group_id='d3dcd08097f247f7ae432844797ce8ef'

I get 3 rows, 2 for GrouperAll, 1 for GrouperSysAdmin

Are you saying you upgraded Grouper?  If so, from what version to what version?

 

What do the following queries give you?

 

select * from grouper_group_set where owner_group_id='<group id of all-admins>'

select * from grouper_memberships where owner_group_id='<group id of all-admins>'

 

Thanks!

Subject: [grouper-dev] RE: Disapearing members ?!?!?!

 

I am logged as a member of the GrouperSysAdmin group, so it’s not about privs

 

The rules I have only modify privileges, hooks wouldn’t delete anything. Anyway if that was the case, there would be traces in the audit log.

 

I don’t think it’s a UI or Priv problem since there are no lines in GROUPER_MEMEBERSHIP for that group (well there are 3, 1 for sysadmin, 2 for everyentity)

 

This is what I see for my bugged group (all-admins) in GROUPER_MEMBERSHIPS_V. crochet, gagns, larcheve are 3 people I added in the previous subgroup (dept1-admins). As you can see there are no immediate group membership, but effective members. These member were added AFTER the group bugged (it’s not residual)

GrouperSystem	g:isa	3741162bfb1b496ca0f36150c3b05a7b	access	admins	immediate

 

I checked in GROUPER_MEMBERHSIP_LW_V and the bugged group has the same members as above and the dept1-admins isn’t a member of anything (except itself for privs)

 

Looking in the GROUPER_PIT_MEMBERSHIPS

I guess I see all the members, but strangely they almost all have an END_TIME and ACTIVE=F, converting it to human gives me yesterday at around 1:35 PM, around the time I have stopped the GrouperDaemon for my upgrade. All the END_TIMEs are within 8 seconds

 

Where does that end-time comes from ? Why don’t I have any audits saying a member was removed ?

 

I can try those utilities, but I don’t think it’ll tell me what cause those data to disappear. By the way, this isn’t a composite group it’s a simple group with members that are groups. What does the addAllMissingGroupSets does ? What’s a GroupSet ?

 

bin/gsh -findBadMemberships –all

Checking Composite Memberships

Checking Group Sets

No membership errors found.

Try running the bad membership utility:

 

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Bad+Membership+Finder+Utility

 

Also, try the PIT and groupSet fixer (from GSH):

 

new edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.misc.SyncPITTables().syncAllPITTables()

 

new edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.misc.AddMissingGroupSets().addAllMissingGroupSets();

 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris (or any other that can help),

A little panic here : we did a release in production and for some reason, some groups have lost their memberships.  I’m not saying it was removed, but it vanished in thin air : no audit logged, nothing in the changelog. I checked the grouper_memberships table in the database and the records disappeared.

 

The structure we have/had :

all-admins

|-dept1-admins

                |-personA

                |-personB

|- dept2-admins

                |-personC

 

All the memberships between “all-admins and deptX-admins” and “deptX-admins and personY” have vanished, but the groups are still there.

 

Even weirder, if I re-add personA to dept1-admin, Grouper WILL SHOW personA as an indirect member of All-admins, while showing NO DIRECT MEMEBRS! (see attached screenshot)

 

This problem only occurred in Production, the identical test env has no problem…

 

We’re currently lost about what might have caused the problem, and would really appreciate some guidance to find the problem… Thanks

 

(PS the solution will be to manually re-add everything since it’s not much work, but we don’t want to lose any more data…)

 

 

 

 

No Direct members :

But has indirect members ?????
