Background processing and IdM Split

We have a Create User process that can be initiated by the end user. The end user provides the user data to create the user.

This data is passed on to the approval process where an approver approves/declines the request.

If the request is approved the approver is shown a Confirmation Page which contains a button called "Return to Main Menu".

Issue

--

We would like to split the display of the confirmation page and the rest of the process that takes place after the request is approved.

This will prevent the end user from having to wait on the rest of the process once Return to Main Menu is clicked.

Have tried

-

1) Using split but it still waits for the entire process to complete before taking the end user back to the Main Menu page

2) Adding a manual action and assigning configurator as the owner. This seemed to work on one environment but did not on another.

Difference was not in the app server, java versions or idm versions but rather the OS (worked on Windows but not on Linux).

3.) Timed out the Confirmation Page in 1 second but that displays the message that your form has timed out.

4.) Background provisioning set to true. This is part of the process but before it gets there we have a great deal going on.

Can someone suggest something to where we can display the confirmation page to return to the main menu and at the same time go ahead and do the remaining activities for that user.

Display a link to the main menu instead of a button.

Using the link, the end user is taken to the Main Menu but the same confirmation form stays in the inbox as an item since no action is taken.

Hi,

while this is on a totally different topic some code similar to mine in

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5136156&messageID=9504254#95 04254

would likely solve your problem. Please read the section 2)

I'm pretty sure the same can be done with a view but the code mentioned above worked for me before i got a solution using a view to work. The forkbomb thing mentioned there does not apply to your task.

Regards,

Patrick
