Access to Managed Object Data

Managed object data is available to all CA IdentityMinder APIs, for example:

To the Business Logic Task Handler API, when validating user-supplied data on a task screen against attributes of CA IdentityMinder objects
To the Workflow API, when using attributes of CA IdentityMinder objects to determine the next activity to perform in a workflow process
To the Event Listener API, when performing these actions:
- Setting or retrieving attributes of CA IdentityMinder objects during the following event states: Pre-approval, Approved, and Rejected
- Retrieving attributes of CA IdentityMinder objects during the Post-execution event state

You can access managed objects in the following ways:

ProviderAccessor

Interface

ProviderAccessor

API

All

Comments

Read/write access.

Provides direct access to the information in the data store.

All APIs can read attribute data in objects retrieved through ProviderAccessor, but typically only business logic task handlers and event listeners modify these objects.

Modifications are committed to the data store after the custom object calls modifyObject(). The modifications are committed immediately. No events are generated, and no workflow approvals, auditing, or security checks are performed.

BLTHContext

Interface

BLTHContext

API

Business Logic Task Handler

Comments

Read/write access.

Provides access to the run-time instance of objects in the current task. Objects are accessed through BLTHContext get... methods.

CA IdentityMinder commits changes to the data store after any workflow approvals have been provided and the execution of events associated with the task is complete.
