Overview

Customers deploying the user facets feature available in DirX Identity V8.5 need to create new maintenance workflows for handling these objects. These workflows are needed to support status changes for users and user facets (startTime, endTime, DisableEndTime, deleteTime). The set of workflows to be configured for user facet maintenance depends on whether you run the Tcl-based maintenance workflows or the Java-based ones. The affected Tcl-based workflows are Consistency Check, Privilege Resolution and Policy Execution. The affected Java-based workflow is Check Consistency.

This use case document describes how to create and configure these workflows. It also describes how to configure complete database maintenance. The first part covers the Tcl-based workflows, while the second part covers the Java-based consistency workflows.

The following documents provide additional details about the concepts and procedures referenced in this use case document. We recommend that you become familiar with the information in these documents before proceeding with the tasks described in this use case document:
