I believe this to be a different issue than the usual causes for failed-creation-via-web-services. For perspective, I am a former MCS consultant with many years of experience with MIIS, ILM, and now FIM.
I am getting a strange error when exporting NEW objects to the FIM Portal. Updates and deletes are working fine. The sync service error is failed-creation-via-web-services, with Portal server Event Log error details of:
"A Request '72d03324-de87-4a10-91d4-0f9c006e8263' has failed during synchronization. Exception Details: 'Target(s): All Active People, User Administrators, Approvals Approve Reject Viewable Set, All Users and Groups, Password Reset Users Set, All Non-Administrators, All People, All Objects, A57116EF-4237-4689-8BC2-8CCAF7AC5173, F3448EA1-04E7-4CDA-B0BE-81196CFEDC32, Attribute Failure Code: 'RequiredValueIsMissing', Attribute Name: 'CreatedTime''"
Obviously CreatedTime is a system-generated attribute so the error details don't seem to be quite accurate. However, what jumps out in the above error are the two GUIDs that appear in the list of sets that presumably should match the user object that I'm trying to export.
I'm wondering if those GUIDs are indicating some sort of FIMService database corruption in terms of the set calculations, and that's what is ultimately causing this error to bubble up.
Is there any way to check the integrity of the FIMService database, particularly in terms of the system objects and sets, and to do a repair if necessary? Or, if I'm not on the right track with my thinking, what other approach should I take to resolve this strange error?
