Optimizing New Forms

When designing new Identity Manager forms, system integrators can optimize a form’s performance by doing the following:

• Performing “expensive” queries only one time, wherever possible. To minimize these queries,

  • Use <Field> <Default> elements to execute and store query results.

  • Use field names to reference values in later fields.

  • For custom tasks

    • Calculate the value in the task before a ManualAction, then store that value in a task variable.

    • Use variables.tmpVar to reference variables in the form.

    • Use <setvar name=’tempVar’/> to clear the variable after a ManualAction.

• Using <defvar> for calculations that are performed for the initial display and with each refresh.
