Bypass Approval Processes for a Campaign

Typically, when changes result from a certification review, the owners of the entities involved must approve the changes. You can bypass this approval process in a campaign. CA RCM immediately implements all changes indicated during the initial certification review.

Important! Bypassing the approval process can have unexpected consequences. Only an experienced campaign manager should implement such a campaign, after consultation with the role engineer.

Because of the increased possibility of mistakenly overwriting configuration data, we recommend that you bypass approvals only in campaigns that are based on a copy or subset of configuration data. Do not use this option with campaigns that are based on the model configuration of the active universe or an original version of a configuration file.

To bypass approval processes for a campaign:

1. Verify that the value of the allowModifiedCampaignProcess system property is True.

allowModifiedCampaignProcess

Specifies whether campaign processes that bypass the approval task are available in the portal.

True

Makes review processes that bypass approval available during campaign creation.

False

Hides review processes that bypass approval. Only standard review processes - which include approval tasks - can be selected during campaign creation.

1. Copy a configuration file or create a partial file containing relevant data.
2. Create a campaign based on the configuration file you created.
3. In the Execution screen of the campaign creation wizard, drop-down fields let you specify the workflows used to remove rejected links.

   In each Remove Link Process field, do one of the following:

   • Select the Bypass Approval version of the process to skip approvals when that type of link is rejected. Rejected links are deleted without secondary approval.
   • Select the regular version of the process to trigger approval tasks when that type of link is rejected.
