Test Workflow Integration

IDM reads workflow definitions from the /path/to/openidm/workflow directory.

The /path/to/openidm/samples/provisioning-with-workflow/ sample provides a workflow definition (contractorOnboarding.bar) that you can use to test the workflow integration. Create a workflow directory in your project directory and copy the sample workflow to that directory:

cd project-dir
mkdir workflow
cp samples/provisioning-with-workflow/workflow/contractorOnboarding.bar workflow/

Verify the workflow integration by using the REST API. The following REST call lists the defined workflows:

curl \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
--header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" \
--header "Accept-API-Version: resource=1.0" \
--request GET \
"http://localhost:8080/openidm/workflow/processdefinition?_queryFilter=true"

The sample workflow definition that you copied in the previous step is named contractorOnboarding. The result of the preceding REST call is therefore similar to the following:

{
  "result": [
    {
      "_id": "contractorOnboarding:1:5",
      "_rev": "1",
      "candidateStarterGroupIdExpressions": [],

    }
  ],
  "resultCount": 1,
  "pagedResultsCookie": null,
  "totalPagedResultsPolicy": "NONE",
  "totalPagedResults": -1,
  "remainingPagedResults": -1
}
