Retrieving saved properties

In a workflow that includes an activity of the Save Object Properties type, you can configure other activities to retrieve object properties saved by that activity:

  • By using the following expression in a Script activity: $workflow.SavedObjectProperties("activityName").get("attributeName")

    In this expression, activityName stands for the name of the Save Object Properties activity and attributeName is the LDAP display name of the attribute representing the property you want the script to retrieve. You must specify an attribute listed in the Target properties setting of the Save Object PropertiesSave Object Properties activity; otherwise, this expression returns no property value when running the workflow.

  • By adding the Workflow - Saved Object Properties token to the notification message template. For more information, see Events, recipients, messages.

  • To add the token:

    1. In the Insert Token dialog, click Workflow - Saved Object Properties in the list of tokens, and then click OK.

    2. In the dialog that appears, select the name of the Save Object Properties activity and the saved property you want the token to retrieve.

      You must select a property listed in the Target properties setting of the Save Object Properties activity; otherwise, the token you have configured returns no property value when running the workflow.

  • By choosing the Property of object from workflow data context configuration option, available in If-Else branch conditions, Search filter, Create activity, Update activity, and Add Report Section activity (see also Configuring an Add Report Section activity).

  • If you choose this option, then you need to perform the following configuration steps:

    1. In the Object Property dialog, click the link in the Target object field, and then click More choices.

    2. In the dialog that appears, click Saved Object Properties in the left pane, select the name of the Save Object Properties activity from the Activity list, and then click OK.

    3. In the Object Property dialog, click the link in the Target property field, and select the property you want.

      You must select a property listed in the Target properties setting of the Save Object Properties activity; otherwise, the entry you have configured returns no property value when running the workflow.

Modify Requested Changes activity

The Modify Requested Changes activity is intended to update the change request that started the workflow, allowing you to add or remove changes to the properties of the workflow target object at workflow execution time. For example, in a workflow that starts when the creation of an object is requested, you can use this activity to modify the properties that are going to be assigned to the new object, or change the container in which to create the object. In a workflow that starts upon a request to change an object, you can use this activity to modify the requested changes to the properties of that object.

This activity has the following configuration options:

  • Target changes: You can define the property changes to add or remove from the change request. When you configure this activity, you can choose the properties you want the activity to change and, for each property, choose to remove the property from the request, clear the property value in the request, or specify the new value to be assigned to that property. For a multi-value property, you can choose to add or remove a value from that property. The following options are available:

    • Text string: Use the given string of characters as the value of the property. You can type the string.

    • Property of workflow target object: Use the value of a certain property of the target object of the request that started the workflow. You can select the property from a list of object properties.

    • Property of workflow initiator: Use the value of a certain property of the user whose request started the workflow. You can select the property from a list of object properties.

    • Changed value of workflow target object property: Use the value that is requested to be assigned to a certain property of the workflow target object. You can select the property from a list of object properties.

    • Workflow parameter value: Use the value of a certain parameter of the workflow. You can choose the parameter from a list of the workflow parameters.

    • Property of object from workflow data context: Use the value of a certain property of the object that will be selected by the activity on the basis of the data found in the workflow run-time environment. You can choose the property and specify which object you want the activity to select at workflow run time.

    • Value generated by rule expression: Use the string value of a certain rule expression. By using a rule expression, you can compose a string value based on properties of various objects found in the workflow run-time environment. You can create the rule expression when you configure the activity.

  • Notification: You can configure the activity to subscribe recipients to the notifications of the following events:

    • Activity completed successfully: When configured to notify of this event, the activity causes Active Roles to send a notification email if no significant errors occurred during the run of this activity.

    • Activity encountered an error: When configured to notify of this event, the activity causes Active Roles to send a notification email if any significant errors occurred during the run of this activity.

    The notification settings specify the notification event and recipients. When run by the workflow, the activity prepares a notification message appropriate to the specified event. Active Roles retains the message prepared by the activity, and sends the message to the specified recipients upon occurrence of that event. The notification settings are similar to the notification settings of a Notification activity. For more information, see Notification activity.

  • Error handling: You can choose whether to suppress errors encountered by the activity. The following option is available: Continue workflow even if this activity encounters an error. If this option is not selected (default setting), then an error condition encountered by the activity causes Active Roles to stop the workflow. If you select this option, the workflow continues regardless of whether or not the encounters an error condition.

  • Additional settings: You can configure the activity to:

    • Change the container where to create new objects while ensuring that the policies and workflows are applied from the container where the object will actually be created rather than from the container that was originally specified in the object creation request.

    • Add or remove Active Roles controls from the request.

    Controls are certain pieces of data that can be used to provide additional information to Active Roles on how to process the request. If no controls are added to a request, then Active Roles determines how to process the request based solely on the type of the request. You can configure the activity to add certain controls to the request (include controls) or to ensure that certain controls never occur in the request (exclude controls). For information about Active Roles controls, see the Active Roles SDK documentation.

NOTE: The Modify Requested Changes activity type is unavailable in case of an automation workflow. You can add activities of this type to a change workflow only.

Configuring a workflow

Workflows provide a powerful and convenient way to add new logic to directory data management and provisioning processes in Active Roles. To configure a workflow, you create a workflow definition and then use the Workflow Designer to add and configure workflow activities.

Creating a workflow definition for a workflow

The Active Roles Console provides the Workflow Designer for creating and configuring workflows. First, you create a workflow definition. Then, you use the Workflow Designer to construct a workflow, saving the workflow configuration data in the workflow definition.

To create a workflow definition

  1. In the Active Roles Console tree, expand Configuration > Policies, right-click Workflow, and select New > Workflow.

  2. Follow the steps in the wizard for creating the workflow definition.

  3. On the Workflow Type page, accept the default setting.

By default, the wizard creates a change workflow that starts upon a request to change data in the directory. Another option is to create an automation workflow that can be run on a scheduled basis or on user demand. For more information, see Automation workflow.

Once you have created a workflow definition, you can open it in the Workflow Designer to add workflow activities and specify workflow start conditions.

You can create containers to store related workflows and other containers. To create a workflow container, right-click Workflow in the Console tree and select New > Container. To create a workflow definition in a given container, right-click the container in the console tree, and select New > Workflow.

You can delete a workflow definition as follows: In the Console tree under Configuration > Policies > Workflow, right-click the object representing the workflow definition, and click Delete.
