Policy Xpress Actions as Identity Manager Events

Now that Policy Xpress is integrated within CA Identity Manager, all actions done by Policy Xpress are run as Identity Manager events, when possible. For example, a policy that changes a user's attribute, generates a ModifyUserEvent. This allows for auditing in the system, and for viewing detailed information about tasks generated by Policy Xpress.

As with all CA Identity Manager events, events generated by Policy Xpress can be viewed in the View Submitted Tasks tab. If your Policy Xpress policies are not running as expected, you can use the information available in View Submitted Tasks to help with troubleshooting.

Note the following:

• Not all Policy Xpress actions generate events, for example, writing to a log file does not generate an Identity Manager event.
• When viewing events in the View Submitted Tasks tab, an event can show as failed because of a Policy Xpress policy, and not because of the event itself.
