Should be cached for a few minutes, did it go away after a bit?  :)

Chris,

A related question-- I have a job that failed due to some terrible data, and 
I don't want to clean it up-- I just wanted to remove the group from the 
loader.
I deleted the loader attributes from the group, but my status URL is still 
showing that it expected that job to run.

How do I correct that?

Thanks,
Carl

Might not work for all loader sizes, but I just join to subject table over a 
DB link for that.  But yes, that seems like a good feature

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

I can work around it right now.  The data should probably be cleaned up.
If I needed this feature, though, it would probably be from a database I 
couldn't clean up easily, so I would probably want to limit it to just that 
database.

Thanks,
Carl

Subject: RE: Loader error about missing subject

We've debated this one in the past, and it is currently on our roadmap

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Product+Roadmap

The issue was if the subject was not resolvable by mistake then it will be 
removed from the group (which might be a mistake).  So what I do at Penn is I 
have a SQL table of subjects and join my loader SQL's to that so that the 
results are always resolvable.  (e.g. pre-provisioning wont work until the 
subject exists)

Anyways, can you do something like that, or at least in the meantime or is it 
important that you get a patch for this?  Also, it would be a system-wide 
setting right?  Not different for different loader jobs?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Loader error about missing subject


I have a loader job that pulls from an Oracle DB.
The job failed with an error about a missing subject:

  2015-09-22 10:34:55,320: [main] ERROR 
GrouperLoaderResultset$Row.getSubject(1399) -  - Problem with subjectId: 
fisherp, subjectSourceId: ldap, in jobName: lc:ref:role:banner:nonvoters
  edu.internet2.middleware.subject.SubjectNotFoundException: No results: 
searchSubject filter:(&(uid=%TERM%)(objectclass=person)) searchValue: fisherp

The subject is in fact, *not* in my subject source.  However, I would like 
Grouper to ignore the missing subjects rather than throw an error and stop 
the job.
Is there a simple setting to ignore missing subjects in the loader?

Thanks,
