Hi All I have a feed from an oracle view using an Oracle MA. Every time i run a full import, all changes are picked up except deletion changes (which is odd, since the Connector space of an MA should be a copy of the data source). So now i ended up with more objects in the CS than what we actually have in the oracle view. The import process is pretty straight forward and out of the box, what could be a reason for this situation?! Note: The view has a duplicate, will this be the cause of not importing deleted rows correctly!! Thanks in advance Eihab

Note: The view has a duplicate, will this be the cause of not importing deleted rows correctly! If the import cannot run cleanly and without error, the process of detecting which records did not come in cannot be done reliably, so the purge process gets skipped. Get rid of your duplicate records and see if that clears up the issue. Note that new records will be processed as well as changes to existing records, because these operations can be done reliably. If the Run Profile status comes back as "completed-discovery-errors", you will have an indication that deleted records were not processed.

Thanks Rex, That's what i thought too. Your reply verified that and make a lot of sense to me. I'll clean it up and get back. Eihab
