Custom Participant Resolver

The custom participant resolver is a Java object that determines workflow activity participants and returns a list to CA Identity Manager, which then passes the list to the workflow engine. Typically, you write a custom participant resolver only if the standard participant policies cannot provide the list of participants that an activity requires.

Note: You create a custom participant resolver using the Participant Resolver API. For more information, see the Programming Guide for Java.

To configure a custom participant resolver

  1. On the User Console workflow configuration screen, select Custom: <resolverName> from the Participant Resolver list.

    The workflow configuration screen changes according to the participant resolver selection.

  2. Add input parameters as required by your custom participant resolver.
  3. Click OK to save the participant resolver configuration.

    The admin task profile tab reappears.

  4. Click Submit to save your admin task workflow changes.
