Workflows, Forms, Rules, and XPRESS

• You cannot use the XPRESS <eq> function to compare Boolean values to TRUE or FALSE strings or to the integers 1 or 2 (ID-3904).

  Workaround: Use the following

  <cond>
     <isTrue><ref>Boolean_variable</ref></isTrue>
     <s>True action</s>
     <s>False action</s>
  </cond>

• Path expressions do not work when iterating a list of generic objects via a dolist (ID-4920).

  <dolist name=’genericObj’>
     <ref>listOfGenericObjects</ref>
     <ref>genericObj.name</ref>
  </dolist>

  Workaround: Use <get> / <set> as shown:

  <dolist name=’genericObj’>
     <ref>listOfGenericObjects</ref>
     <get><ref>genericObject</ref><s>name</s>
  </dolist>

• If you use global.attrname variables for fields in your user form, and the attribute is shared among more than one resource, you should also define a Derivation rule (ID-5074). Otherwise, if the attribute has been changed natively on one of the resources, the attribute may or may not be picked up and propagated to the other resources.

• You cannot use special strings beginning with “&” in HTML components of forms. For example, &nbsp; will no longer appear as a space. This issue was introduced because of a change to support special characters (&<>’) in Select lists. (ID-5548)

• Form, workflow and rule comments contained in <Comment> tags have &#xA; strings in them representing the line feed character (ID-6243). These characters are seen only when viewing the XML for these objects; the Identity Manager server will process these characters properly.

• If you use the Resource Table User Form for editing users, when editing a user’s resource, the resource attributes are not fetched when the form first appears.

  Workaround: Click the Refresh button, which will fetch the attribute data. (ID-10551)

• If Identity Manager is protected by a Sun Java System Access Manager Policy Agent, workflow process diagrams might render incompletely. (ID-18304)
