In addition to the fine-grained scheduling facility described previously, OpenIDM provides a task scanning mechanism. The task scanner enables you to perform a batch scan for a specified date in OpenIDM data, on a scheduled interval, and then to execute a task when this date is reached. When the task scanner identifies a condition that should trigger the task, it can invoke a script created specifically to handle the task.
For example, the task scanner can scan all managed/user
objects for a "sunset date" and can invoke a script that executes a sunset
task on the user object when this date is reached.
