FIX: The Enterprise Single Sign-On Management Agent stops processing updates when an error occurs in a Host Integration Server (HIS) 2006 or HIS 2009 environment

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario in a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2006 or a Microsoft Host Integration Server 2009 environment:

You use the Enterprise Single Sign-On Management Agent (ENTSSO MA).
The management agent uses Microsoft Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) to update the Enterprise Single Sign-On database.
You use ILM to run a synchronization process that includes multiple updates for the ENTSSO MA to submit to the Enterprise Single Sign-On database.
The list of ENTSSO MA updates includes one or more ADD operations.

In this scenario, if an ADD operation is not completed successfully, the ENTSSO MA stops processing. Additionally, the ENTSSO MA cannot process any remaining updates when an error is encountered.
