EventState Element

EventState elements indicate when to record information about events. CA Identity Manager can log information at several points, or states, during an event's life cycle.

The EventState element includes the following parameters:

• name

  Defines the name of the event state to audit. The event states that you can specify are the following:

  • AUDIT

    Records special events that exist only to audit information. These events only go to the AUDIT state and do not execute.

  • BEGIN

    Audits the set of attributes populated by the user interface and custom handlers, including business logic task handlers, logical attribute handlers and attribute validation implementations.

    This state also audits attributes populated by TEWS.

  • PRE

    Audits attributes that are affected by event listeners that execute during the BEGIN state.

  • APPROVED

    Audits changes to attributes during the approval process.

  • REJECTED

    Records status information when an event under workflow control is rejected.

    Note: After an event is rejected, it proceeds to the Cancelled state.

  • EXECUTE

    Records information when an event executes.

  • POST

    Audits any changes that an event listener makes to an attribute in the POST state.

  • INVALID

    Records status information when Identity Manager encounters an invalid event.

  • COMPLETE

    Records status information when an event completes.

  • CANCELLED

    Records status information when an event is cancelled.

  Note: Specify the value of the name parameter using capital letters only.
