Configuring the UNIFYNow Changes Activity

Once the UNIFYNow Changes Activity has been installed and is present on the Activity Information Configuration, the MIM Portal can be set up to utilise the activity.

Adding to a workflow

UNIFYNow provides a set of Microsoft PowerShell scripts which will create workflows for selected Operation Lists to a target MIM implementation.

Once downloaded, execute the PowerShell script on the same machine as the MIM Portal.

Finally confirm that the Workflow is present in the list of available workflows.

Adding to MPRs

Once the existing or new workflow has been added, the workflow should then be added to the correct Management Policy Rule (MPR) in order to trigger the operation list under the correct conditions.

Data Changes

For handling of data changes, the workflow should be added as a Policy Workflow to an existing or new MPR, and is recommended that Administrators are allowed to create or update resources. This MPR should be fine-tuned to the requirements of the solution, considering whether non-Administrators should also be allowed to make changes requiring a delta import, as well as what resource and attribute changes require processing.

Synchronization Rule Changes

For synchronization rule changes, the MPR should be similarly configured to the Data Changes MPR.

Testing the Activity

To verify that the whole process has been correctly configured, attempt an operation in the MIM Portal that would trigger the workflow, such as adding a user. If correctly configured, the UNIFYNow operation list will begin execution, and the MIM Portal will contain a Request with a Success status. To assist with diagnosis, any errors that may have occurred will appear under the Requests and Approvals page.
