Working with the Process Document

The process document contains special control elements that allow a process to be displayed and edited with its process steps.

Figure 46: Representing a Process in the Process Editor

When you add a new process, an initial process document with one process element is created. When you add a process step, the associated process step element is created.

Individual elements are linked to each other with a connector. Activate the connection points with the mouse.

• To create a connection, click on a connection point, hold down the left mouse button and pull a connector to the second connection point.
• To delete a connection, select a connection end-point and confirm the deletion request that appears. Confirm the security prompt with OK.

Double-click on the process or process step element to open the respective edit view, where you can make your changes.

Each element has a tooltip. A process element's tooltip displays the name and description of the process. A process step element's tooltip displays the name and description of the process step as well as the description of the process function used.

Each element contains a quick access menu bar. The icons represent special properties of processes or process steps. The icon's tootip shows more detailed information about a property. Double-clicking on a icon respectively opens the process or process step's edit view and jumps to the corresponding property.

Table 216: Quick Access Icons

Icon	Meaning
	Events are defined.
	Process is not generated.
	Process in wait mode on error.
	Processing is split. The connection point on error and the connector to the subsequent process step are colored yellow.
	Runtime errors are ignored. The connection point is colored gray on error. No process step is possible on error.
	If an error occurs, no more process steps are handled for this process.
	A generating condition exists.
	Process information is enabled.
	A script for selecting a server or server mask is entered.
	Messaging on error and on success is enabled.

Some important properties are shown by the color of the element.

You can drag and drop elements in the process document. Use Arrange in the context menu to reset the elements to their default positions. The position of each element is transferred to the One Identity Manager database when the entire process is saved. The layout is therefore available to all users when you restart the Designer.

Defining Processes

Processes are edited and displayed in the category Process Orchestration in the Designer. Apart from the default processes supplied by us and customer specific processes, you also get an overview of the process components with their process tasks and parameters. You can also set up process plans that are available for triggering processes on a cyclical basis.

So-called process tasks are used to perform single elementary tasks at system level, for example, adding a directory. A process component consists of one or more process tasks and its parameters.

The following steps are required to set up a process

1. Create up a process.
2. Specify which events to trigger.
3. Create the process steps.
4. Edit the parameters.
5. Test the process.
6. Compiles the process.
