Strange behavior after granting a role associated to an access policy.

Question

Greetings.
I am using OIM 11.1.1.3 and I am using also the DBUM Adapter 9.1.0.4.
I Defined 3 roles in OIM after that I defined three access policies with the purpose of provision roles at a database.
Every policy is associated to a role and a DBUM resource.
At the end I have the following policies.
Policy Name OIM Role Database Role
1. Policy Role A - Role A - DBRoleA
2. Policy Role B - Role B - DBRoleB
3. Policy Role B - Role C - DBRoleC.
When a role is granted to OIM User using the Administration Console the correct database role is provisioned at the specified database. But If I revoke a Role from the user and grant the same role again the specified role is not provisioned to the specified database.
Example: An user have "Role A", "Role B" ,"Role C" at the database the user have DBRoleA, DBRoleB, DBRoleC.
After revoking "Role A" from the user the database have the correct roles DBRoleB and DBRoleC.
But if the "Role A" is granted again to the user the DBRoleA is not provisioned at the database.
I enabled the dbum log file and it looks like the wrong role was chosen and the DBRoleB is the database role to be provisioned. Because we see at the log file when the "Role A" is granted to the user:
[WLS_OIM1] [TRACE] [] [OIMCP.DBUM] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '2' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: oiminternal] [ecid: 0000JDjSF5i9h^5prOt1iY1EgfQX0000lD,0] [SRC_CLASS: com.thortech.util.logging.Logger] [APP: oim#11.1.1.3.0] [dcid: 4506c477d760fc7e:26c2d53a:1336a1dbc64:-7ffd-0000000000000d45] [SRC_METHOD: debug] oracle.iam.connectors.dbum.integration.DBUMProvisionManager : getChildFormData : Form Value2011-11-04[2011-11-04T11:37:14.392-05:00] [WLS_OIM1] [TRACE] [] [OIMCP.DBUM] [tid: [ACTIVE].ExecuteThread: '2' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [userId: oiminternal] [ecid: 0000JDjSF5i9h^5prOt1iY1EgfQX0000lD,0] [SRC_CLASS: com.thortech.util.logging.Logger] [APP: oim#11.1.1.3.0] [dcid: 4506c477d760fc7e:26c2d53a:1336a1dbc64:-7ffd-0000000000000d45] [SRC_METHOD: debug] oracle.iam.connectors.dbum.integration.DBUMProvisionManager : getChildFormData : Child form data map received:- {UD_DB_ORA_R_VERSION=0, UD_DB_ORA_R_KEY=3180, UD_DB_ORA_R_UPDATE=2011-11-04, UD_DB_ORA_R_CREATE=2011-11-04, Process Instance.Key=5916, UD_DB_ORA_R_UPDATEBY=6, UD_DB_ORA_R_ROLE=102~*DBRoleB*, Access Policies.Key=183, UD_DB_ORA_R_CREATEBY=6}
The question is somebody has experienced the same issue?
Is there another way to provisioning database roles after granting OIM Roles?
Thanks!

Finally we opened a Service Request to solve this issue, and it was a bug "OIM SENDING WRONG ENTITLEMENT NAME TO TARGET DURING ADD ENTITLEMENT OPERATION" and Oracle generated the patch 13499465 for DBUM Connector. Oracle had to provide us a new Readme to apply this patch because it wasn't well explained. So far the patch seems to work, we are making some tests now to be sure that the issue is solved. I just want to share that with the OIM community.
