Automatic Approvers by Node in Standard Certification Processes
Standard processes for certifications handle node-based automatic approver filters using a chain of parameters.
The following process-level parameter controls use of automatic approval in processes that certify existing links:
Defines whether the Open Approval Action node of a certification process treats reviewers from the initial Certify node as automatic approvers. This boolean parameter is set when CA GovernanceMinder initiates a job based on the process.
Similarly, the following parameter controls use of automatic approval in processes that suggest new links during certification review:
Defines whether the Open Approval Action node of a certification process treats reviewers from the initial Suggest node as automatic approvers. This boolean parameter is set when CA GovernanceMinder initiates a job based on the process.
In addition, the following local variable is defined:
Specifies the node whose users are treated as automatic approvers.
These processes have two review nodes: an initial node named Certify or Suggest, and a second Open Approval Action node for approval.
When an initial review generates changes that require secondary review, the Set Auto Approvers node evaluates the process-level boolean parameter described above. When this parameter has the value True, the Set Auto Approvers node populates the autoApproverNode variable with the name of the initial node as follows:
autoApproverNode=Certify
or:
autoApproverNode=Suggest
Control then passes to the Open Approval Action node. In this node, the ignoreApproversFrom parameter is defined parametrically as follows:
ignoreApproversFrom={'autoApproverNode'}
The ignoreApproversFrom parameter resolves to the value inserted in the autoApproverNode variable by the Set Auto Approvers node, as follows:
ignoreApproversFrom=Certify
or:
ignoreApproversFrom=Suggest
The Open Approval Action node treats reviewers from the previous Certify or Suggest node as automatic approvers.
