OIM - is there a dynamic way to identify an approving manager?

We have a rather complex model for resolving the initial approver for our request workflow processing and I'm hoping that someone may be able to help me out.
Rather than using the manager attribute within the user record we need to be able to make a call to an external process at the time that the workflow is initiated. This is due to the dynamics of the approval organisation and I would like to avoid increasing the user reconciliation frequency. Resolving this through a lookup or call to an external service is how I'm thinking of approaching this.
Further, our approving managers would like to be able to nominate delegates on a permanent or temporary basis so that they do not then receive workflow requests while the delegation is enabled.
Has anyone had any experience with a similar requirement that you would be able to share please?
TIA,
Bernie

You can create a 'Task Assignment adapter' and code whatever you need in it. Check:

  • Are there a dynamic way for evaluting variables in as3?

    Hi..!
    eval() is a usefull method or function in javascript.. Because we may define our variables via dynamic way..! There are following code is for understanding that how can define dynamic defining variables in javascript.. And Are there a dynamic way for evaluting variables in as3 like following javascript code?
    <script language="javascript1.2" type="text/javascript">
    var trainOfUfo = "...hi earthling...";
    var handleBlade = eval("train"+"Of" + "Ufo");
    alert(handleBlade);  //-- it appears in dialog box text field area "...hi earthling..."---
    </script>

    In AS3 you can use the bracket notation...
    var trainOfUfo = "...hi earthling...";
    var handleBlade = this["train"+"Of" + "Ufo"];
    AS2 supports the eval() function, but it was done away with in AS3

  • Is there a dynamic way to use extensions?

    Ok, Ranch pals... I have a huge problem...
    There's an app o' mine that is bundled in a jar file. It's an Applet, but that doesn't matter. What really matters is: the jar file uses an extension. An extension from Sun. To use that and install it automatically in the client machine I have to put that extension in the MANIFEST file for my app, like the code that follows:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Extension-List: jai_imageio
    jai_imageio-Extension-Name: com.sun.media.imageio
    jai_imageio-Specification-Version: 1.0-mr
    jai_imageio-Implementation-Version: 1.0_01
    jai_imageio-Implementation-Vendor-Id: com.sun
    jai_imageio-Implementation-URL: http://someeirdaddress.com.any/anything/herecomeswhatisimportant/jai_imageio-windows-i586.jarThe thing is: my clients have to have this jar file (jai_imageio-windows-i586.jar) in their server, so it can be downloaded and installed (in my case by the Java Plug-in). But the address to this file (http://someeirdaddress.com.any/anything/herecomeswhatisimportant/jai_imageio-windows-i586.jar) has to be inside the MANIFEST file, which is terrible, because if I have 1 zillion clients I'll have to pack my jar 1 zillion times, changing the MANIFEST everytime.
    So! The question that is reeeeally bothering me is: "is there a way to set that my app uses an extension from outside the MANIFEST file, say, from my code? If yes, how? If no, is there any auto-checking-and-installing solution for my problem?"

    Because it is going to be used in an intranet and I can't know for sure that all machines will have access to the internet. So, the file must be in the local server, and they often have different addresses. I don't need the MANIFEST to be dynamic, but the mechanism to use extensions. But, if the only way of doing this is having a dynimic MANIFEST file, ok.

  • Is there a quick way of identifying 'missing files'

    Occasionally when you try to play a song you get a message saying that Itunes can't find the file together with an invitation for you to locate it yourself.  After you locate it you get another message asking you if you want ITunes to locate other missing files - and it tells you how many missing files there are. ITunes invariably then locates some of the other missing files but usually not all of them. i can't find a way of viewing the songs that are "missing" other than by scrolling through the whole list looking for the identification marker at the far left. 

    Thanks for your response but because of the way in which my music files are stored; on an external drive rather than in the Itunes folder, Doug's scripts don't work for me - had a series of e mail exchanges with him regarding embedding artwork a while ago.  I just can't understand why, when ITunes can identify and tell you in a message how many missing tracks there are, it doesn't provide a way of sorting the library to show the missing tracks together.

  • Is there an easy way to identify ASA5500's with a single DIMM slot?

    I have a large quantity of ASA5520's and ASA5540's that need to be quickly assessed and RTV'd (if need be) if they are found to be upgraded ASA5510's.
    My concern is because of this recent release-note by Cisco:
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&bugId=CSCtg55418
    Is there a way to check the amount of DIMM slots on a unit through console or do I have to physically check each and every one? Thanks.

    That's an interesting note!
    In theory, if you don't know the provenance of your ASA, I suppose you would have to physically check. It would need to be unracked and opened up. They have about 15-20 screws on the top and sides so it definitely needs to be pulled out.
    In practice, it's only certain systems you'd need to do this on. If the device currently reports 256 MB, it's a 5510. If it reports 2 GB, it's really a 5520 or 5540 as it reports. If it reports 512 MB or 1 GB and hardware type 5520 or 5540 it could be one of the pirated boxes.

  • HT3519 How can I find who called me if I receive a call from "No Caller ID"?  If there's no way to identify, why's this option provided? There's a potential risk in using this.

    Why is there an option "To show/not to show your caller ID"?

    What I have started doing is for calls that don't allow for caller ID, I allow them to go over to voicemail.
    So far I am finding that a huge number of those calls with no caller ID refuse to leave a message on voicemail also.
    I figure it they were that interesting in calling me that they can't leave a voicemail, I can't be bothered calling them back either.
    It has certainly cut down on the number of phone calls I have to deal with using voicemail as a filter.

  • Is there a dynamic delay for feedback z nodes?

    It seems the delay on the feedback node can only be hard coded. Is there a dynamic way to set the delay?

    No there is not. The feedback node allocates room for all the data at compile time, so it must know then how large the delay is.
    For a dynamic buffer size, you might search the forums or web for a LabVIEW circular buffer example, of which there should be many.

  • Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed ?

    Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed or not ?
    Any methods ???
    How can the program knows the connection is lost or some thing ...
    Is the socket throws some excpetions when there is no active connection ???
    namanc

    If you get an IOException when you try to use the socket, the connection was obviously closed.
    The correct way for an application to know if the socket was closed is:
    1) the server sends a message indicating that the socket should be closed
    2) the client closes the socket itself

  • Is there a way to identify a thread you want to return to without tagging?

    Is there a way to identify a thread you want to return to without tagging?
    I will try to explain what I mean.
    Let say someone asks a question and you are curious at what people may suggest as solutions.  The interest could range from simple curiosity to "oh, I don't know how to do that, but would like to learn", or whatever reason that would cause someone to revisit a thread. 
    But the interest is weak enough that you do not want to subscribe to the discussion.  And the topic is not something you want to tag because it is an unusual thread that is unlikely going to re-occur, and you are not sure if you will or will not revisit after a solution is posted or the discussion goes a certain way. 
    Another example is if the question is interesting, you do not want to mark it because there is no answer / solution yet and you are curious if anyone would ever provide a solution, so you do not want to tag it and a subscription would be useless if no one replies.
    OR
    Maybe it is a hot topic of the day / week and that's it..  You would not revisit at a later date.
    But for the moment, you want to easily find it during the day or have a reminder that you want to revisit the thread ether in the near future or later when someone has provided an answer.
    Is there an easy way to mark threads that you want to re-visit?  Like a "todo" list, but rather a "to re-visit" list...

    Delicious is a website wher you can store URL for later use/retrieval. For every link you add you can add some tags, a description, and you can share them with others.
    I'm not using it for the use you have in mind, but it would be an idea. I have set up a special Mouse Gesture in Firefox that creates a delicious entry for the current page.
    I use delicious heavily when I am looking on the internet for a solution to a specific problem, what happens during such a search is that you see 20-30 pages that look promising but only 3 are actually on topic. Sometimes it turns out one of the 'not so good pages' are actually googd pages, but 3 days later you don't know exactly the search term  you used, or you are on another PC and it's hard to trace back your steps on the WWW. So by using Delicious I can easily create a list of pages on a particular topic.

    I have os x 10.5.8 and noticed a menu extra that I have never seen before. Is there a way to identify it? I tried to delete it i.e. comm + drag, didn't work.

    If you can't CMD+ drag it off, try this...
    You've probably got a couple of corrupt preference files.
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
    /Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist
    where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.
    This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

  • Is there any way to identify the two classes are compiled by same vm

    Is there any way to identify the two classes are compiled by same vm?
    Thank's a lot.

    I think this is the better forum than java compiler. The answer to the question you asked is no.
    But that question is not the best way to address your problem.
    If this were me, I'd use a tool like ASM (http://asm.objectweb.org/) to read in that file, and replace the getToday() method, with one like this
    long getToday() {
        return 20080101;
    }and replace the class file with this new one. (keep the old one, they might be using a class loader that verifies class signatures or something)
    (They said the code you are looking at could have been changed by you - so take the hint and change it back).
    If they've ripped you off, this will restore justice much more cheaply and effectively than involving the lawyers. If they then sue you for breaching the license agreement, that would probably force them to disclose their underhand tactics.
    OTOH, if you're lying to us about the purchase, and needing to pay for upgrades to fix the performance issue, and instead are trying to crack some trial software, then I hope they are using a custom class loader that checks the integrity of the classes.
    If you are being ripped off, why are you not telling us the name of the company? I am not sure who is being ripped off here.

  • Is there a way to identify which files haven't been migrated from a backup?

    I've just upgraded my girlfriends 13" mbp from Leopard to Snow Leopard. It was behaving a little strangely and being sluggish so I erased everything before the upgrade. I've used Migration Assistant to transfer most files from a Time Machine backup but was a bit unsure about transferring everything blindly as I'm a little worried about what was causing the problems before the upgrade. The only items I didn't select in Migration Assistant were the 'All other files and folders' in the 'Users' drop box, and the 'All other files and folders on Macintosh HD'. I left these as I wanted to investigate what exactly these files were but now I have no clue how to go about this. Is there a quick way to highlight which files were present in the backup before the upgrade that aren't there now? Are any of these files likely to be hugely important?
    Also, because I backed up again after the upgrade, Migration Assistant automatically selects the last backup to migrate from instead of the one that has the missing files. Is there a way to select which backup file to use from my external drive?
    Thanks

    It's usually not a good idea to upgrade a computer that's having problems. They may get fixed, but more often they'll get worse.
    'All other files and folders on Macintosh HD'.
    Those are other files, not in any user home folders, besides system files. On most installations, they're just a few Help files, but if you've installed things or created files at the top level of a drive, they weren't migrated.

    No, unfortunately. You can only do that with a full system restore.
    If you used +Setup Assistant+ when the Mac first started up, the user accounts now on the Mac are the same ones, and you can use the "Star Wars" display to restore selected items from older backups. But you can't restore an entire home folder, or the default folders in the user's home folder (Desktop, Documents, etc.); you have to select the contents of those folders instead. See #15 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If you used the +Migration Assistant+ app, however, the user accounts may not be recognized as being the same ones, so may not have permission to see and restore from the backups.
    It's a pain, but your best bet may be to start over: do a full system restore of the last Leopard backup, per #14 in the FAQ. Then try to address the "strangely and being sluggish" issue. Once that's either fixed or you determine it isn't a big problem, just install Snow Leopard over Leopard without erasing.

  • HT1535 Is there a way to identify which copy of a duplicate is tied to a playlist so the correct duplication can be removed?

    Recent Window's Vista reimage resulted in many duplicates in iTunes Library.  Too many hands in the process.  I don't see a way to identify which version is tied to a play list so I can remove the unattached duplicate.

    Hello 3PodFam
    If you are trying to get rid of duplicates within iTunes, the articles below will give assistance on how to remove them from iTunes as well as backing up your playlist and then import them. The export or import a playlist go to File > Library and you will see either option at that point. To show duplicates go to View > Show Duplicates Items.
