Task Sessions

A task session is an instance of an executing task. Information is stored in a task session as name/value pairs.

During task execution, business logic task handlers have access to the information in the current task session. Task session information is available through the BLTHContext object passed to business logic task handlers.

A task session includes the following:

• The task context, that is, the task being performed, the administrator who is performing the task, and the CA IdentityMinder managed object affected by the task.

  This managed object is also called the subject of the task. For example, a User object is the subject of a Create User task.

• An object (BLTHContext) for retrieving the task’s subject and its relationships (such as roles and groups).
• Other task session information, such as task creation time and the locale of the administrator who is performing the task.
