Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Jutta Biernath <>]

Hi, all,

I have a big problem with a group with was created and filled via web
services. Everything worked ok, but a few days ago the according dataset in
grouper_members was seemingly deleted. 

Unfortunately I just can guess that from the (meanwhile overwritten) log files
and from the fact that there are records in grouper_members for the other
groups, but not for this one.

Now this group is absolutely unhandle-able, I can neither rename nor move nor
delete it, neither in UI nor in gsh. And even worse: there's no bulkSync
possible, for it crashes each time when the sync touches this group.

 I have no idea why this record is missing in grouper_members. It must have
been there before, for the provisioning once worked, the group was exported to
ldap as expected, but was not updated fo a few days now.

Error in log file when provisioning:
****************************************
ERROR Group.toMember(5289) -  - could not convert group to member: null

I already thought of simply adding a dummy record in grouper_members, but I
don't know if that causes unresolvable inconsistencies.

Please help!



Thank you,
