Business Logic Task Handlers

A Business Logic Task Handler performs custom business logic before an Identity Manager task is submitted for processing. Typically, the custom business logic validates data. For example, a business logic task handler may check a group’s membership limit before Identity Manager adds a new member to the group. When the group membership limit is reached, the business logic task handler displays a message informing the group administrator that the new member could not be added.

You can use predefined business logic task handlers or create custom handlers using the Business Logic Task Handler API.

Note: For information about creating custom business logic, see Programming Guide for Java.

The Business Logic Task Handlers screen contains a list of existing global business logic task handlers. The list includes predefined handlers shipped with Identity Manager and any custom handlers defined at your site. Identity Manager executes the handlers in the order in which they appear in this list.

Global business logic task handlers can be implemented only in Java.
