Overview

novdocx (en) 17 September 2009

Overview

Typically, changes to data in the Identity Vault or a connected application are immediately

processed. Work orders enable you to schedule when tasks are to be performed.

For example, a new employee is hired but is not scheduled to start for a month. The employee needs

to be added to the HR database but should not be granted access to any corporate resources (e-mail,

servers, and so forth) until the start date. In a typical scenario, the user would be granted access as

soon as he or she is added to the HR database. With work orders implemented, a work order is

created that delays account provisioning to the user’s start date.

The WorkOrder driver provides work order functionality. The following sections introduce the

WorkOrder driver and the key concepts and terminology associated with the driver:

Section 1.1, “The Work Order Process,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “Key Features,” on page 14

Section 1.3, “Support for Standard Driver Functions,” on page 14

Section 1.4, “Terminology,” on page 14

1.1 The Work Order Process

From a high-level perspective, work orders are processed as follows:

1. A work order is created, either through an automated process (another driver) or a manual

process (iManager), and is added as a WorkOrder object in a the Identity Vault’s work order

container.

2. At the scheduled time (as defined in the WorkOrder object), the driver begins processing the

work order.

3. The driver applies any policies to the work order (performing any actions associated with the

policies) and creates a WorkToDo object in the Identity Vault’s work order container.

4. Depending on how you configure the WorkOrder driver and the other drivers in your system,

either the WorkOrder driver performs the desired work or other drivers use the information in

the the WorkToDo object to perform the work. Because the WorkOrder driver is designed to

accomodate a variety of configuration scenarios, sample scenarios are provided in Chapter 6,

“Customizing the Driver,” on page 29.

The following sections provide detailed information about the work performed by the driver’s

Subscriber and Publisher channels. Because the WorkOrder driver channels function differently than

with other drivers, you should carefully review the information.

Section 1.1.1, “Subscriber Channel Functions,” on page 9

Section 1.1.2, “Publisher Channel Functions,” on page 11

1.1.1 Subscriber Channel Functions

This section provides a basic understanding of the functions the Subscriber channel performs in the

WorkOrder driver.

10 Identity Manager 3.6.1 WorkOrder Driver Implementation Guide.

First, Placement and Create rules are configured so all new work orders that contain the required

attributes are sent to the Subscriber channel. The following attributes must be present for a work

order to pass the Create rule and go to the Subscriber channel:

DirXML-nwoContent

DirXML-nwoStatus

DirXML-DoItNow Flag

DirXML-SendToPublisher Flag

Figure 3-1 shows what happens when the Subscriber channel receives a work order.

Figure 1-1 Subscriber Channel Configuration

The Subscriber channel performs the following actions:

1. Creates an association for each WorkOrder object it receives.

2. Checks if the DoItNow and SendToPublisher flags are set to True. If these attributes are set to

True, the Subscriber channel builds a work order and sends it immediately to the Publisher

channel.

3. If the DoItNow and SendToPublisher flags are not set to True, the Subscriber channel waits

until the next event.
