I have created an inbound sync rule in the FIM portal to import groups from an external system (SQL Server) into the metaverse. I can import the rule from the FIM MA into the FIM connector space but when I run a full sync on the FIM MA I get the error"sync-rule-inbound-flow-rules-invalid". The only way I have found around the error is to remove all the attributes from Inbound Attribute Flow in the sync rule. However, this defeats the purpose of having the sync rule in the first place. Searching the Web, I have come across posts from other people with "sync-rule-inbound-flow-rules-invalid" problems but the solutions do not seem to work in my situation.
A little background about the sync rule
Metaverse Resource Type: group
External System Resource type: group
Relationship Criteria: accountName (metaverse) = "string field" (ConnectedSystemObject)
Create resource in FIM: yes
Inbound attribute flow:
- Domain
- Member
- DisplayName
- accountName
- MembershipLocked
- MembershipAddWorkFlow
- Type
- Scope
I am new to FIM so it's possible I have overlooked something in the setup of this sync rule. Any suggestions on possible causes of this issue would greatly appreciated.
