Mapping Processes to Events

You create and modify workflow processes in WorkPoint Designer. When you create a workflow process for CA Identity Manager, you do so with a particular CA Identity Manager task in mind. The execution of this task is controlled by the workflow process.

In addition to creating the workflow process, you must also do the following:

• Identify the event that is generated by the CA Identity Manager task, described in Admin Tasks and Events. You can create a workflow process for any CA Identity Manager task that generates an event.
• Map the workflow process to an event by doing one of the following:
  • Assign a Workflow Process to an Event Globally.

    With this global mapping, the workflow process occurs whenever the event is generated in the environment, regardless of the task that generates the event.

  • Assign a Workflow Process to an Event Generated by a Specific Task.

    With this task-specific mapping, the workflow process occurs only when the specified task generates the event.

  Note: If you map an event to a workflow process both globally and to a specific task, the workflow process associated with the specific task takes precedence.

• Specify a participant resolver for the workflow activity in the workflow process.
• Associate a workflow activity with an approval task.
