One of the data elements we're not getting is the 'cn', which is just a seven-character text attribute. The fullName attrib is char(15), and we're getting that one.
It's almost as if we're only seeing one part of the aggregation. Like we're seeing only person data related to the record, but no location data. It's very strange. --Tim ----- Original Message ---- From: Carey Matthew Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 11:18:31 AM Subject: Re: [ARSLIST] ARDBC Plug-in Returns only Subset of Data -- Why? Tim, Just a few WAGS.... Check the data types for the ldap attributes that are not returned. ( Maybe they are not supported in v5.x but are in v7.x ?) Maybe the ARS side is truncating the data due to a size/memory constraint?

When the Remedy daemons start up, all the plug-ins load without a hitch.

It shows us only a subset of any given person's record. For example, we can see the last name, first name, and email address, but no location data. Even more strange is the empty cn field.
