SYMPTOMS
You use the Host Access Management Agent for Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 to export a group to the IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF). During the import step of this operation, you receive the following error message:

Exported-change-not-reimported.

Note This problem occurs when the DATA attribute contains more than 45 characters of data.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Host Access Management Agent version 1 incorrectly parses a DATA attribute that contains more than 45 characters of data.

For example, consider the following scenario. You export a group that has the following information in the DATA attribute:

MIIS AUTOMATED GROUP - THIS GROUP MEMBERSHIP IS MANAGED BY MIIS. ANY MANUAL CHANGES TO THIS GROUP MEMBERSHIP WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY MIIS DURING THE NEXT SYNCHRONIZATION

In this scenario, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section during the import step of the export operation. When you examine the DATA attribute for the exported group, the information appears as follows:

MIIS AUTOMATED GROUP - THIS GROUP MEMBERSHIP        IS MANAGED BY MIIS. ANY MANUAL CHANGES TO THI    S GROUP MEMBERSHIP WILL BE OVERWRITTEN BY MII     S DURING THE NEXT SYNCHRONIZATION

In this scenario, the Host Access Management Agent version 1 incorrectly splits the DATA attribute into 45-character segments.
