Forms 10.3 user email addresses are disappearing

asked on November 6, 2018

We are implementing a forms process using version 10.3.  There are several email service tasks in the process.  Using the Laserfiche admin console, I have added the '[FORMS]Email' attribute to each of the users accounts we have defined as Laserfiche Directory Accounts.  I then ran I then ran Synchronize Users from the forms administration System Security page.

 

I then proceeded to the test forms process.  Using the forms monitor page, I see that there are sporadic errors in the email tasks.  Using the events log viewer on our server, I can see errors that the forms process is not able to find an email process for a user. 

 

I then used Microsoft Sql Server Management Studio and see that in the Laserfiche database users table, some of the email addresses have disappeared.  I then  rerun the Synchronize Users from the forms administration System Security page, and see that the email addresses have been restored in the users table.  When I restart the failed task from the forms monitor page, the process then completes successfully.

 

The same thing happens when I then retest the same forms process - email addresses seem to get lost, and I need to restore them by running Synchronize Users again.

 

A couple of notes:

 

I am using the '/_initiator' token in the email service task to indicate to whom the email should be sent.

I am assuming the Laserfiche database users table is pertinent to my issue.

 

If anyone has insight as to what may be causing my issue, I would very much appreciate it.

Just to clarify, are you using Directory Accounts created in the Laserfiche Directory Server?

If so, it sounds like you're setting email addresses at the repository level when you use the Administration console to edit the attributes.

Assuming that is the case, then the data from LFDS may be overwriting whatever you put in the Admin console when the account is sync'd with LFDS.

For example, if LFDS has no email listed for the account and the repository syncs with LFDS, then it would take that value because LFDS is responsible for managing the directory accounts.

Jason - thank you for your quick response.  I will look at our accounts in the admin console and see if it matches up with your explanation.  I will let you know if I have more questions.

 

Thanks again

Just to clarify, are you on Rio? If so, I would check the account profiles in LFDS, not the Admin console.

Yes - we are on Rio.  So I will check the accounts in LFDS.

 

Thanks
