Workflow Participant Resolvers

The activities in a workflow process, such as approving or rejecting a task, are performed by participants.

You use the Workflow Participant Resolvers screen to map a custom participant resolver to a fully qualified participant resolver Java class.

A custom participant resolver is a Java object that determines a workflow activity’s participants and returns a list to CA Identity Manager. CA Identity Manager then passes the list to the workflow engine.

Typically, you write a custom participant resolver only if none of the standard participant resolvers can provide the list of participants that an activity requires.

Note: For information about developing custom participant resolvers, see the Programming Guide for Java. For information about standard participant resolvers, see the Administration Guide.
