Generating E-Mail Messages; Subscriber Channel E-Mail Templates - Novell IDENTITY MANAGER 3.6.1 - MANUAL TASK SERVICE DRIVER Implementation Manual

It is important that eDirectory objects to be monitored by the Manual Task Service driver policies
have an association for the Manual Task Service driver. Only objects that have an association have
Delete, Rename, and Move events reported to the driver. In addition, Modify events on objects that
do not have an association are converted to Add events after the Subscriber channel event
transformation.
All other commands (Modify, Move, Rename, and Delete) should be blocked by the Command
Transformation policy and prevented from reaching the Subscriber channel. The Subscriber channel
handles only
returning an error.

solicit information from a user, the replacement data must contain at least one responder-dn item.
The values of the responder-dn items must be the DNs of the User objects of the users to which the
message is being sent.

eDirectory object to be queried already has an association for the Manual Task Service driver. The
association generated by the Subscriber for unassociated objects cannot be used because it hasn't
been written to the eDirectory object when the query takes place.
