Matching Attribute Resolver

This resolver works on objects of type User only. A value from any object available is matched against a field on the user object. Use the following selection to set matching attribute rule constraints:

• Approvers

  Specifies the type of user to approve this task.

• User or Object

  Specifies the value that approvers will have in the attribute selected below.

  Note: The value retrieved from the user or object should be an acceptable value for a search on user for the selected attribute.

  • Object associated with the event—The event under workflow control.
  • Initiator of this task—The user who initiated the admin task.
  • Primary object of this task—The object being created/modified by the task.(Only available for task level event mapping.)
  • Previous approver of this task—The previous approvers of this task.
• Use or Object Attribute

  Specifies the attribute that contains the value to use in the search for approvers.

• Approver Search Attribute

  Specifies the attribute that is used in the search to match the value identified above.

You must import the upgrade scripts for escalation approval process for previous approver information to be available (UpgradeWFScripts.zip). Import the scripts from the workflowScripts folder under the Administrative Tools in following default locations:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools
• UNIX: /opt/CA/IdentityManager/IAM_Suite/Identity_Manager/tools

When importing the WorkPoint scripts with the archiver tool on upgrade, the administrator should specify that this is an import into an existing database and override existing scripts.

Note: When you set 'Approve Create User' task as a Match Attribute Resolver that works on Users, Participant Resolver, you must change the method signature for the imApprovers script on workpoint designer to point to the unique name for TwoStageProcessDefinition.
