Policy Xpress

Policy Xpress allows you to create complex business logic (policies) without the need to develop custom code. Policy Xpress tasks are located under the Policies tab and are associated with the Policy Xpress Manager role and the System Manager role, by default.

Previously, Policy Xpress was part of Option Pack 1. In this release, Policy Xpress has been incorporated into the core CA Identity Manager product and can be accessed under the Policies tab.

Also, note the following improvements to Policy Xpress that are available in this release:

• Policies are searched using scoping rules.
• Policies have Submitted Task and Reverse listeners.
• Creating, modifying, viewing, and deleting policies is captured in View Submitted Tasks as events. These events can be resubmitted in an error occurs. Also, you can configure workflow on these events.
• Policy Xpress audits all activity in View Submitted Tasks, including policies evaluated, actions performed, and failures.
• Several usability improvements made to plug-ins.
• Policies can validate data before task submission.
• Granular behavior control when a policy generates an error.
