Issue

When making changes to an existing attribute change rule in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, the rule reverts to a previous version. This usually happens immediately but sometimes does not happen for a day or more. The attribute change rule is triggered to run after identity unification. This configuration setting can be seen in the user interface by going to Rules > Definitions > {existing attribute change rule} > General tab.

Resolution

If you encounter this issue, please contact RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Support and open a new support case so that root cause can be determined and a permanent resolution found.
 

Workaround

To resolve this issue, unschedule the rule, run unification, process the rule manually, and then reschedule the rule to run after unification.

1. Go to Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Edit
2. Uncheck the Run after identity unification box > OK

3. Run unification: Collectors > Unification Config > Participating Collectors tab > Run Unification
4. Run the rule manually: Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Process Rule
5. Reschedule the rule:

1. Go to Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Edit
2. Check the Run after identity unification box > OK

6. Run unification: Collectors > Unification Config > Participating Collectors tab > Run Unification
7. Check that the rule is still at the current version. Continue testing for a few days to be sure the rule does not revert to a previous version.
