API Functional Model

The design and implementation of all CA Identity Manager APIs are based on a common functional model.

There are two variations of this model, depending on whether task execution is in the synchronous phase (before the task has been broken down into events) or the asynchronous phase (after the task has been broken down into events).

This section contains an illustration of each variation of the functional model, and also a summary of all the components of the functional model.
