Prerequisites

To enable the Request Approval workflow in Canvas Studio, approval workflow should be activated and an authentication access should be provided to the administrators to enable them to process the requests.

Perform the following steps on the Canvas schema:

In the CT_REQ_MDLR_AUTHFLOW table, change the type of authentication from noauth to foureye or sixeye and make changes to the AUTH_FLOW column accordingly. A sample entry is provided as follows:

TABLE COLUMN	VALUES
GCIF	CTSTUD2014ENTL
FLOW_CTRL_ID	004
PRODUCT	CTSTUDIO
SUB_PRODUCT	PUBLISHER
CHANNEL_ID	3
APPLICATION_ID	CTSTUDIO
DEFAULT_IND	Y
EVAL_CONDITION	{ condition : [ { id : equals , field : $context.authflow value : true } ] }
EVAL_ORDER	1
STOP_PROCESS_IND	FALSE
RESPECT_HIER_IND	FALSE
TYPE	foureye
AUTH_FLOW	{ authflow : [ { tier : [ { type : INTEGER, min : 10, max : 100, workflow : { type : foureye , flow : { completed : false } } }, { type : INTEGER, min : 100, max : 1000, workflow : { type : sixeye , flow : { completed : false } } }, { type : INTEGER, min : 1000, max : 10000, workflow : { type : tree , flow : { condition : OR , completed : false, flow : [ { role : A , count : 1, completed : false }, { role : B , count : 2, completed : false }, { role : D , count : 1, completed : false }, ] }, { completed : false, flow : [ { role : A , count : 1, completed : false }, { role : C , count : 1, completed : false }, { role : D, count : 1, completed : false } ] }, { completed : false, flow : [ { role : X , count : 1, completed : false }, { role : Y , count : 1, completed : false } ] }, { role : E , count : 1, completed : false } ] } } } ] } ] }

In the OD_USER_FUNCTION_MB table, update the administrators' details to enable request approval. A sample entry is provided as follows:

TABLE COLUMN	VALUES
OD_GCIF	CTSTUD2014ENTL
OD_USER_NO	201407010004
APPLICATION_ID	CTSTUDIO
OD_FUNCTION_CODE	APPROVE
OD_PRODUCT_CODE	CTSTUDIO
OD_SUB_PROD_CODE	PUBLISHER
OD_ACC_NO	READONLY
OD_TRANS_MAX_AMT	0
OD_ACC_GRP_CODE	(NULL)
OD_ROLLBACK_FLAG	(NULL)
CRITERIA_TYPE	READONLY
USER_ROLE	ALL

To roll back the request approval workflow, the values of the EVAL_CONDITION, TYPE and AUTH_FLOW columns must be modified in order to nullify the request approval workflow process. Therefore, it is necessary to specify the appropriate entries for the respective columns In the CT_REQ_MDLR_AUTHFLOW table in the Canvas schema, as shown in the following table:

TABLE COLUMN	VALUES
GCIF	CTSTUD2014ENTL
FLOW_CTRL_ID	004
PRODUCT	CTSTUDIO
SUB_PRODUCT	PUBLISHER
CHANNEL_ID	3
APPLICATION_ID	CTSTUDIO
DEFAULT_IND	Y
EVAL_CONDITION	{"condition" : true}
EVAL_ORDER	1
STOP_PROCESS_IND	FALSE
RESPECT_HIER_IND	FALSE
TYPE	noauth
AUTH_FLOW	{"authflow":[{"tier":[{"type":"number","min":10,"max":100,"workflow":{"type":"none","flow":{"completed":true}}}]}]}
