Workflow API Overview

The Workflow API provides the following kinds of information to a custom script in a workflow process:

• Information about the currently executing CA Identity Manager event
• Information about the administrator who submitted the event
• Information within the Identity Manager environment

The workflow script evaluates the information and determines the path of the workflow process accordingly.

Methods in the Workflow API are called from either of the following:

• A custom workflow script, that is, from scripts in automated workflow activities and scripts in conditional transitions
• A Java object that is accessed from a workflow script

Note: For more information about using WorkPoint workflow, see the Administration Guide.
