Issue/Introduction

Inbound synchronization keeps CA Identity Manager users up-to-date with changes that occur in the Provisioning Directory. Changes in the Provisioning Directory occur when Provisioning Server performs provisioning actions on an endpoint, and stores the corresponding notifications in the Provisioning Directory. Provisioning Server pushes the inbound notifications to the CA Identity Manager.

CA Identity Manager receives inbound notifications from the Provisioning Server based on the filters that you configure.

For more information on Inbound Notification configuration please refer to the CA Identity Manager Product Documentation, link below:

https://docops.ca.com/ca-identity-manager/14-3/EN/administrating/inbound-notifications-configuration

The filters are hard coded and it has been noted that one filter is missing "Provision_Account" 

In the following scenario, the provisioning server generates a notification (example below)

20190705:124635:TID=002a3c:CreateAcct:C180:C178:F: FAILURE: Child CreateAcct (eTADSDirectoryName=DL_Test)
20190705:124635:TID=002a3c:CreateAcct:C180:C178:F:     rc:  0x0013 (Constraint violation)
20190705:124635:TID=002a3c:CreateAcct:C180:C178:F:     msg: :ETA_E_0083<MAC>, Account for Global User 'T22226' on Active Directory 
20190705:124635:TID=002a3c:CreateAcct:C180:C178:F:+Endpoint 'DL_Test' update failed: Account already exists, but is associ
20190705:124635:TID=002a3c:CreateAcct:C180:C178:F:+ated to another Global User

Because the "Provision_Account" filter is missing, as soon as you filter on something, you do not get any notifications associated with the error above. Consequently you do not have any relevant information in the vst (View Submitted Tasks).
