Executing Dynamic Role Rules
This section discusses how to:
Execute dynamic role rules for a role.
Execute dynamic role rules for all roles assigned to a user profile.
Execute dynamic role rules for all roles and user profiles.
You can execute dynamic role rules in the three modes. You can execute dynamic role rules by:
Role.
All roles for a user profile.
All roles and user profiles.
Roles rules are executed by the DYNROLE_PUBL application engine program that runs through PeopleSoft Process Scheduler. After the program runs, it publishes a message, ROLESYNCHEXT_MSG, that contains a list of users and roles for the rule. The application engine program does not update any tables; the message (subscription PeopleCode) performs the actual database updates.
Note: The successful completion of the dynamic roles program does not ensure that the roles were updated; the associated message must also be published successfully.
Each page that you can use to execute dynamic role rules features a link to the Process Scheduler Monitor where you can monitor the status of application engine program processing. In addition, each page features a link to the Service Operations Monitor where you can view details of the ROLESYNCHEXT_MSG message publication of users and roles for the rule.
To execute a dynamic role rule for a single role use the Roles - Dynamic Members page (ROLE_DYNMEMBER). To access the Roles - Dynamic Members page, select and click the Dynamic Members tab.
Click the Execute Rule(s) button on the page to execute the role rule(s). The Execute Rule(s) button launches the DYNROLE_PUBL application engine program which executes the rule(s).
To execute dynamic role rules for all roles assigned to a user profile use the User Profile - Roles page (USER_ROLES). To access the User Profile - Roles page, select and click the Roles tab.
Click the Execute Rule(s) button on the page to execute the role rule(s). The Execute Rule(s) button launches the DYNROLE_PUBL application engine program which executes the rule(s).
