parameters passed from Form to workflow

Hi,

Can anybody throw light on what are the parameters passed from the form to workflow and from workflow to resource in general ?

This is a question we were told to work on. I will be very glad if anybody can give any information in this regard.

Thanx in advance.

regards,

The parameters that are passed between Form and Workflow are stored in a View. When you are editing a user, you are opening the User View and the forms are displaying/altering values in this View. When you click Save, the View is handed off to the workflow and the data is then pushed through the adapters (mapped from IDM context to the native values defined in the resource's Schema).

The View defines what fields are available within it, and under what context. For example, the Password View has a limited list of account attributes available as compared to the User View. See the documentation on Workflow, Forms, and Views for more info on what the naming space of the various Views are.

FYI, there is a difference in how fields are accessed between a Form and Workflow. In the Form, you can reference waveset.accountId directly. In a Workflow, you need to preface it with the name of the view object the workflow is working on, usually user.waveset.accountId

Is there anything that you specifically need information on?
