Process Parameters for User, Role and Resource Attributes

Standard CA GovernanceMinder Workpoint processes declare binary data fields for user, role, or resource attributes. When CA GovernanceMinder initiates a Workpoint job, it populates these fields with actual attribute values of the entities involved in the job. These fields identify the entities under review in various operations. For example, you can use these fields to search member lists or the RACI configuration and assign reviewers.

The following data field identifies a user entity:

task.personId

Specifies a user entity in the source configuration by the value of the personID field defined for the universe.

The following data field identifies a role entity in processes that handle links between one role and a user or resource.

task.roleName

Specifies a role entity in the source configuration by the value of the roleName field defined for the universe.

Processes that handle links between parent and child roles use the following data fields instead of the task.roleName field:

task.childRoleName

Specifies the child role of a parent-child link in the source configuration by the value of the roleName field defined for the universe.

task.parentRoleName

Specifies the parent role of a parent-child link in the source configuration by the value of the roleName field defined for the universe.

The following data fields identify a resource entity:

task.resourceName1

Specifies a resource entity in the source configuration by the value of the ResName1 field defined for the universe.

task.resourceName2

Specifies a resource entity in the source configuration by the value of the ResName2 field defined for the universe.

task.resourceName3

Specifies a resource entity in the source configuration by the value of the ResName3 field defined for the universe.

The following data fields specify the values of entity attributes:

fieldName

Specifies the name of an entity or link attribute.

fields

Specifies a list of entity or link attributes and values. For example, the following value sets values for the Location and Organization parameters:

fields="Location=Houston;Organization=Marketing"

fieldsSeparator

Defines the characters that separate attribute statements in the fields parameter. By default, you can use commas and semicolons.

task.newRoleOwner

Specifies the user who owns the role created by a worfklow process.

startDate

Specifies the date from which a link is valid in the configuration.
