Synchronous Phase Model

In the synchronous phase of task execution, the task has not yet been broken down into its component events.

The following CA IdentityMinder APIs can be used during this phase:

• Logical Attribute API—Inherits IMContext methods directly (alternative 1 in the following diagram).
• Business Logic Task Handler API—Inherits IMContext methods through the IMPersistentContext interface (alternative 2 in the diagram).

Each API inherits methods from the core IMContext interface in different ways.

The following diagram illustrates the core classes and interfaces in the synchronous phase model, and shows where an individual API fits into the model:
