Workflow Properties

If enabled, the workflow feature controls the execution of an Identity Manager task that is associated with a workflow process.

A workflow process is a set of steps that are performed to accomplish a business objective, such as creating a new user account. Typically, one of these steps involves approving or rejecting the task.

An Identity Manager task is associated with one or more events, which may trigger one or more workflow processes. After the workflow processes complete, CA Identity Manager performs or rejects the task based on the results of the workflow processes.

The following illustration shows the relationship between an Identity Manager task, an associated event, and a workflow process:

• Workflow Properties

  Use the check box to enable or disable workflow for the Identity Manager Environment.

• Event Mappings

  Use this section to map Identity Manager events to workflow processes.

  Important: These are global mappings. The mapped workflow process executes whenever the corresponding event is generated by any task in the Environment.

  Note: For more information about workflows and event mappings, see the Administration Guide.
