1.2 Key Features

The following list describes key features of the WorkOrder driver:
Schedules work orders: The WorkOrder driver allows work to be scheduled for a specific
date and time.
Supports dependent work orders: If a work order is dependent on another work order, it is
not processed until the dependent work order has been successfully processed.
Repeats work orders: The driver allows for work orders to be repeated at a set interval.
Facilitates tracking and accountability for work orders: Each work order carries with it the
creator and main contact of the work order, a description of the action taken, and the errors it
encountered.

1.3 Support for Standard Driver Functions

There are several functions that most Identity Manager drivers support. The following list explains
whether or not the WorkOrder driver supports these standard functions.
Local Platforms: The WorkOrder driver can run on the same platforms as the Metadirectory
engine. See

Remote Platforms: The WorkOrder driver works on all the platforms supported by the
Remote Loader. See

Role-Based Entitlements: The WorkOrder driver does not support Role-Based Entitlements.
Password Synchronization Support: The WorkOrder driver does not support Password

Synchronized Objects: The WorkOrder driver only processes events that pertain to work
orders. It does not synchronize other objects and attributes within the Identity Vault.
