UCS & OX Group Sync

Hi,
weve set up a test instance of UCS with Open Xchange using the build in services.
There seems to be a problem with keeping UCS and OX in sync.
Removal of Groups isnt reflected in ox.

Is there a fix for this?

When a group is deleted in UCS, it is deleted in OX as well.

Maybe there is an older transaction blocking this one on your server. Please run and copy its output here:
/usr/share/univention-ox/manage_listener_queue --list

Hi,
thank you for you quick reply.

Heres the output of
/usr/share/univention-ox/manage_listener_queue --list

Seems like the group in question isnt even listed.

There are a lot of failed transactions in the queue. As long as they are there, newer transaction will not be processed. You’ll have to decide what to do with them. If it is a test system and you can simply delete them, then you can used the manage_listener_queue tool to do that (see --help for usage). It can alternatively also move them to a backup directory.

What version of the app is installed? Please send the output of:
univention-app info

We just updated to

I also deleted the queue and am now waiting if it fills again.

SInce im still having those additional groups in open xchange: How can i remove them?

You could do it manually by using the OX command line tools (/opt/open-xchange/sbin/deletegroup), but I think that’s a last resort. For now simply try to 1. enable the OX-flag in the UMC and 2. remove it again.

When you do that, please watch the log file for messages. If an error occurs it will help to debug it. I suggest to temporarily raise the loglevel too:

ucr set ox/debug/level=4
service univention-directory-listener restart
tail -f /var/log/univention/listener.log

Relevant messages will be prefixed with “ox-groups”.

To lower the loglevel after the changes run:

ucr set ox/debug/level=2
service univention-directory-listener restart

When everything worked fine, no new entries should be in the queue.

Thank you for your answer. I will post the results later.
