Resolution

Calculate Items To Work On is a Java node in the Access Fulfilment Exress (AFX) Default Fulfillment Workflow in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle. Java nodes provide an interface to a Java method, passing any parameters and returning a true/false result. This node calls our main proprietary AFX Java process to itemize the changes sent to the workflow, and pass them individually to the AFX fulfillment handler. The workflow will then loop back to the Java node, and move on to the next change. The loop repeats until all of the change items that were passed to the fulfillment workflow are processed, at which point the node evaluates to TRUE and exits the loop. The stop node is then triggered which finalized the fulfillment sub-process workflow.
