Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Vivek Sachdeva implemented this including a unit test, thanks a lot Vivek!  I 
put it in the latest API patch: grouper_v2_2_1_api_patch_8

Here is the configuration in grouper-loader.base.properties:

#############
# if the loader should check to see too many users were removed, if so, then 
error out and
# wait for manual intervention
loader.failsafe.use = false

# if a group has a size less than this (default 200), then make changes 
including blanking it out 
loader.failsafe.minGroupSize = 200

# if a group with more members than the loader.failsafe.minGroupSize have 
more than this percent (default 30)  
# removed, then log it as error, fail the job, and don't actually remove the 
members 
# In order to run the job, an admin would need to change this param in the 
config, 
# and run the job manually, then change this config back 
loader.failsafe.maxPercentRemove = 30
#############

Note: you have to explicitly enable this.  I wonder if these defaults are 
what we want... let me know your thoughts.  My loader jobs run against 
database that do not truncate and add members back, so I don’t really want to 
have to manually go in and tell it its ok when a group changes by a lot...  
maybe others disagree?  :)

Chris,

Yes, I think that would be useful.
In this case, I control the process, but I can envision scenarios where I 
can't.
Also, I think I'd feel better knowing that there was a failsafe on Grouper.

Thanks,
Carl

Not at the moment, it will sync with the table.  Is there a way for the 
process the updates the table to not truncate first and just add/remove as 
needed?  :)  I could add an enhancement in the loader if you think it would 
be useful

Thanks,
Chris

Is there some way to tell the Grouper Loader to abort a sync if it detects a 
big swing in group membership?
I am thinking of the case where we have a process that populates a data 
warehouse SQL database and the loader populates reference from it.
If the job failed and left a table empty, is there a way to tell the loader 
not to alter the reference group?
