Task Configuration in Informatica Data Director Configuration File

Effective in version 10.0.0 HotFix 2, the function of the task configuration parameters in the Informatica Data Director configuration file has changed. If you use the ActiveVOS workflow adapter, update the IDD configuration file after you upgrade.

You can configure the following task parameters in the Informatica Data Director configuration file:

taskType: Describes the task type.
taskTypeID: The process name.
name: The taskType name. The name must be the same as the name of the task in the ActiveVOS workflow configuration.

You can use the following code to configure the tasks for the ActiveVOS adapter based on subject areas in the Informatica Data Director configuration file:

<tasks includeUnassignedTasks="true">
<!-- Task Definitions -->
  <taskType taskTypeId="IDDMergeTask" name="AVOSMerge" displayName="Merge" creationType="MERGE">
    <description>Merge two records together.</description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="IDDUnmergeTask" name="AVOSUnmerge" displayName="Unmerge" creationType="UNMERGE">
    <description>Unmerge an XREF record from a Base Object record.</description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="IDDOneStepApprovalTask" name="AVOSFinalReview" displayName="Final review" creationType="NONE">
    <description>Update a record and require the user to go through an approval process before completing the task.
    </description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType name="Notification" displayName="Notification" creationType="NONE">
    <description>Notification step in the workflow</description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="IDDTwoStepApprovalTask" name="AVOSReviewNoApprove" displayName="Review no approve" 
  creationType="NONE" defaultApproval="true">
    <description>Update a record and require the user to go through an approval process before completing the task.
    </description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="IDDUpdateWithApprovalTask" name="Update" displayName="Update" creationType="CREATE">
    <description>Update a record and do not require the user to go through  an approval process before completing
    the task. The approval step is optional.
    </description>
  </taskType>
</tasks>

You can use the following code to configure ActiveVOS tasks based on composite objects in the Informatica Data Director configuration file:

<tasks includeUnassignedTasks="true">
<!-- Task Definitions -->
  <taskType taskTypeId="BeMergeTask" name="AVOSBeMerge" displayName="Merge" creationType="MERGE">
    <description>Merge two records together.</description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="BeUnmergeTask" name="AVOSBeUnmerge" displayName="Unmerge" creationType="UNMERGE">
    <description>Unmerge an XREF record from a Base Object record.
    </description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="BeOneStepApprovalTask" name="AVOSBeFinalReview" displayName="Final review" creationType="NONE">
    <description>Update a record and require the user to go through an approval process before completing the task.
    </description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType name="AVOSBeNotification" displayName="Notification" creationType="NONE">
    <description>Notification step in the workflow</description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="BeTwoStepApprovalTask" name="AVOSBeReviewNoApprove" displayName="Review no approve" 
  creationType="NONE" defaultApproval="true">
    <description>Update a record and require the user to go through an approval process before completing the task.
    </description>
  </taskType>

  <taskType taskTypeId="BeUpdateWithApprovalTask" name="AVOSBeUpdate" displayName="Update" creationType="CREATE">
    <description>Update a record and do not require the user to go through an approval process before completing
    the task. The approval step is optional.
    </description>
  </taskType>
</tasks>

<tasks includeUnassignedTasks="true">
  <taskType creationType="MERGE" dataUpdateType="ACTIVE" defaultApproval="false" displayName="Merge Workflow" displayType="NORMAL" name="MergeWorkflow" pendingBVT="false" taskTypeId="IDDMergeTask">

    <description>Update a record and do not require the user to go through an approval process before completing the task. The approval step is optional.</description>
  </taskType>
