Here is a way to make IdM Notification process more flexible and easier to work with.
1. First we started by separating the logic in two parts:
- SAP IdM custom table for storing the notifications(receivers, test, subject...)
- SAP IdM logic(custom Entry type with some javascript/java logic for managing the notification process and customer logic)
2. IdM custom entry type:
3. IdM tasks for sending the created notifications:
4. IdM custom table is created for the notifications, where all of the email information is stored(subject, To, CC, text, Country…..). When a new location/notification is needed the table can be updated with the new e-mail notifications by simple .csv file.:
Note: the final notification(example):
E-mail can be send for:
- Specific action(crate/terminate/position change/Manager change/On error……)
- Specific country(all local languages are supported)
- Depending on the notification specify To/CC will be set
Overview: A custom entry type used to send e-mail Notifications, which allows:
- Easy maintenance (if needed all notifications can be modified and new one are easily added) with a simple .csv file
- Flexibility:
- each subject and body of the email can be specific
- all languages are supported (for each e-mail a subject/text with a default and native language can be sent)
- for all of the needed actions a different e-mail can be sent
- To/CC depends of the settings into the notification table(specific To/CC)
- on any case of error an e-mail can be sent
