Sure, go ahead, thanks, Chris

 

Ps. Maybe you could focus on the problem in the Jira since I think this requires some discussion before settling on the solution…

This seems quite error prone to me.  Maybe something to consider for the future is a special grouper tag that says “don’t process changes to the changelog for this group", the one with the tag.  Then you can mess with one more groups until you have what you want and then remove the tag.  By tag - i mean a special group attribute only t be recognized by Grouper.  I’d be happy to submit this as a Jira item if the devs believe this is a reasonable thing to do.

Did you update the last_sequence_processed for your consumer in the grouper_change_log_consumer table before turning it back on?  That would allow you to skip changes, which in theory should be taken care of by the bulk sync.

 

Thanks!

We have a service that want's to have grouper change it's logic. The problem is that one of the "group math" components is a composite group. So far I haven't figured out a way to redefine the composite group without it basically making the group empty first. This would essentially break the service until the composite came back online.

Is there a way to turn off the provisioner make the changes do a bulk sync and then have the changelog go from there? So far in our dev environment it's not working that way.
