Administration
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

{

},
{

completed : false
},
{

count : 1,
completed : false
},
]
},
{
completed : false,
flow : [
{

},
{

},
{

}
]
},
{
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
