Issue
When making changes to an existing attribute change rule in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle, the rule reverts to a previous version. This usually happens immediately but sometimes does not happen for a day or more. The attribute change rule is triggered to run after identity unification. This configuration setting can be seen in the user interface by going to Rules > Definitions > {existing attribute change rule} > General tab.

Cause
The root cause for this behavior has never been determined.
 
Resolution
If you encounter this issue, please contact RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle Support and open a new support case so that root cause can be determined and a permanent resolution found.
 
Workaround
To resolve this issue, unschedule the rule, run unification, process the rule manually, and then reschedule the rule to run after unification.
  1. Go to Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Edit
  2. Uncheck the Run after identity unification box > OK

  1. Run unification: Collectors > Unification Config > Participating Collectors tab > Run Unification
  2. Run the rule manually: Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Process Rule
  3. Reschedule the rule:
  1. Go to Rules > Definitions > {attribute change rule} > General tab > Edit
  2. Check the Run after identity unification box > OK
  1. Run unification: Collectors > Unification Config > Participating Collectors tab > Run Unification
  2. Check that the rule is still at the current version. Continue testing for a few days to be sure the rule does not revert to a previous version.
