Special Case: Optimistic Provisioning
When the workflows are configured for Optimistic Provisioning, provisioned changes appear in IdentityIQ before the changes are confirmed through reaggregation. Optimistic Provisioning assumes that provisioning requests are completed and then updates the identity cube to display the changes when the request is submitted, not when the request is verified.
Optimistic provisioning configuration is useful for some testing scenarios or product demonstrations, but it is not an ideal configuration for most production environments. Companies often prefer that IdentityIQ indicates a confirmed state of system access and not a desired state.
To configure the workflows for Optimistic Provisioning:
-
Verify that the workflow has the Set the optimisticProvisioning process variable. By default, most provisioning-related workflows are configured with this argument
-
Set the optimisticProvisioning process variable, or XML arg, option to True. The default value is false.
Note: To modify other workflows, add the variable and then follow the steps listed above.
