Defining processes
IMPORTANT: The process and process steps are not created until the entire process is saved in the One Identity Manager database. After this, other users can use the Process Editor to make changes to the process.However, it cannot be generated yet. The process has to be compiled before it can be generated.
You can modify default processes to meet your requirements, if necessary. To add further process step to a process, create a custom process.
