Workflow data in JavaScript code

Data items that represent IBM Security Identity Manager entities are represented in JavaScript code as DirectoryObject objects.

DirectoryObject objects have methods and instance variables that can be accessed in JavaScript code. The data item types that represent Security Identity Manager entities include the following types:

• Account
• Admin Domain
• Business Partner
• Business Partner Organization
• Business Partner Person
• Business Unit
• DirectoryObject
• Host Selection Policy
• Organization
• Organizational Container
• Organizational Role
• Person
• Provisioning Policy
• Service

• Workflow data persistence
  When you call a get method on a relevant data item, you load the data from the persistent data store into an in-memory cache. If another activity in the workflow calls a get method on the same data item, it uses the same cached copy.
• Workflow context objects
  We can access a number of system objects directly from JavaScript code without using a get method. These system objects are referred to as context objects.
