18.3 Searching Approval Policies

To search for approval policies: 1. In the Oracle Identity Manager Advanced Administration, on the left pane of the Approval Policies tab, in the Search field, enter a search criterion to search for approval policies. You can specify the asterisk wildcard character to specify the search criterion. 2. Click the Search icon. A list of approval policies is displayed in a search results table, with the following fields: ■ Policy Name : The name of the approval policy. ■ Request Type : The name of the request type associated with the approval policy. Note: When writing simple rule expressions, if an entity attribute has an encoded value, then create the expression by using the encoded value, not the lookup-code definition. For example, for the account status attribute, create the expression by using the encoded value 1 or 0, not the decoded value Locked or Unlocked. Note: In simple and advanced search for approval policies, searching with translated approval policy names is not supported. Oracle Identity Manager supports only English string search for approval policies. For default approval policies, you can search with English policy names as stored in the database. However, if you create an approval policy by specifying its name in another language, then you can search it by using the same string, and not in any other language.
