Create Resource

Initiates a request to Roles Based Provisioning Module (RBPM) for creating a resource specified in the Resource Name field. If the distinguished name of the entitlement is specified in the request, Identity Manager creates a resource with an entitlement. Otherwise, the resource is created without an entitlement. To request for a static resource, specify the value of the entitlement. Specifying an entitlement value is not needed for creating a dynamic resource. When the action is successfully performed, Identity Manager generates a success message in the success.do-create-resource local variable. If a policy containing this action encounters an error, an error message is generated in the error.do-create-resource local variable. For more information about local variables, see Local Variable Selector. This action is available only with the Identity Manager server version 4.6 and later.
