Cause

 

The UIM installation had been upgraded from 9.x

The group information is taken from the UIM API, using the /groups call

When trying to run the API call from http://<primary OC server>/uimapi/swagger-ui.html it was discovered that it was not available

 

It was determined that the UIM API had not been updated as part of the upgrade.

 

 

Environment

Release : 20.2

Component : CA DOI Foundations

Resolution

 

The UIM API was brought up to the latest version and was then responding correctly.

As a result, the group information could then be successfully sent to OI
