Task types and attributes
Task name | Description | Attributes |
---|---|---|
Assign New Number | A number from a number range is assigned to a data pool field. |
|
Card Operation | An action on a card (e.g. Set PIN/Change PIN) is executed. See also Structure of an encoding description in Identity Manager for more information. |
|
Change State | The state of an object is changed in the local Identity Manager database to a particular state, e.g. from "Active" to "Inactive". |
|
Change State in CA | The state of a certificate is changed in the CA to a particular state. The state is then also changed in the local database. |
|
Check Task | This task checks the relationship between a data pool object and a particular identity object. The relationship must be a "one-to-one" relationship. If this is not the case, an activity error occurs. |
|

|
Print Report | A document with the indicated template can be printed. |
|
Production | A card or token is produced. This task is for server side production only. If you configure multiple printers, see Set up printers in Identity Manager. The process variable processVarCardSdkPrinterUrl can be used to fill with the symbolic name of a printer to find the connection to the CardSDK. If the variable is not in the process, the defaultPrinter is used. |
|
Production with Preview | Before a card is produced a preview of the card is displayed on the user interface. There are two variations: one for client-side and one for server-side production. These differ by the following forms:
If you configure multiple printers, see Set up printers in Identity Manager. The process variable processVarCardSdkPrinterUrl can be used to fill with the symbolic name of a printer to find the connection to the CardSDK. If the variable is not in the process, the defaultPrinter is used. |
|
Request Softtoken | A softtoken is required by the CA and sent to the recipient by email. |
|

|
Script Task | This task contains a scripting engine for script languages such as JUEL, BeanShell, JavaScript and Groovy. |
|
Service Task | A JAVA class that is executed during the process runtime is added to the process. A set of standard service tasks is available. For more information, see Standard service tasks in Identity Manager. |
