FIM 2010 Workflow Processing Issue

Question

Hi All,
We are having a problem with FIM 2010 (Update Rollup 2) workflow processing.
Background is:
            Set: Object State 2 set (criteria based membership, criteria includes AUX_Attr1 ‘NOT Equal’ 3)
            Set Object State 3 Set (Manually managed membership)
WF1: set AUX_Attr1 to 3
WF2 : Set AUX_Attr1 to 2
MPR 1: Transition in MPR (Transition set = Object State 2 set), fires WF2
MPR 2: Transition in MPR (Transition Set = Object State 3 Set), fires WF1
What we are seeing is the following:
            We add a user to “Object State 3 Set”
From the request history we can see that:
The successful request for the set membership change (transition in Object State 3 Set)
The successful request by the Forefront Identity Manager Service Account to set AUX_Attr1 to 3
and FIM correctly fires MPR 2, this sets AUX_Attr1 to 3 and this has been verified by looking through the request history
            A couple of seconds later FIM fires WF2 which sets AUX_Attr1 back to 2.
            The request history shows no signs of the object transitioning back into “Object State 2 set” so I am unsure why this
workflow would trigger again.

Answer 1

Best thing to do with this problem is look at the request that caused this to happen and look for parent requests and for the applied policies
