Bulk Loader Error: [Loader Actions Mapping:Feeder] ???key: 6099???

Products

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

When running bulk loader within Identity Manager an error is generated on submission: "Error: [Loader Actions Mapping:Feeder] ???key: 6099???"

Bulk tasks initiated from the Portal will show in View Submitted Tasks in an 'Audited' state and show an error  "An error object was posted to the task with the text: ???key: 6100???"

Environment

Release : 14.x
Component : CA Identity Manager

Cause

Due to some tightening of Bulk Loader attribute requirements - The bulk file needs to contain the same attribute columns as are defined on the Task's Screen. In the past if an attribute column was in the bulk load file that did not exist on the Screen that attribute column would be ignored; the change requires the file and the screen to contain the same attributes.

This is in the documentation under Default System Tasks:
By default, Bulk Loader tasks validate attributes from the input file header with the appropriate task's screen.

Resolution

To disable this for legacy behavior, set the configuration property EnableBulkLoaderAttributeValidation to false under the Bulk Loader task.

There are a couple of options. 

> Option 1, Modify either the Task's screen configuration or the bulk load file to have the same attributes.

or

> Option 2, disable the functionality change by adding the Property "EnableBulkLoaderAttributeValidation" and setting it to False.

This is set on a per task basis, for example to set this for the Bulk Loader called from the Portal, the "[PORTAL]Bulk Loader" task.

Open the "[PORTAL]Bulk Loader" task.
Click the Configuration Properties button at the bottom of the Task Profile screen.
At the bottom of the Task Configuration Properties page in the empty box next to Add, enter "EnableBulkLoaderAttributeValidation" and click Add, then set the value = false
