IdentityIQ 8.5

Is it possible to add a number of days to an event certification if the event certification is triggered on a Saturday or Sunday? For example if triggered on a Saturday, extend the certification by 2 days, if triggered on Sunday extend by 1 day.

Looking at an Active event certification’s Certification Object, the following seems to be relevant:

activated Date field
automaticClosingDate field
expiration field
nextPhaseTransition field
PhaseConfig → CertificationPhaseConfig (phase=Active) → Duration object
PhaseConfig → CertificationPhaseConfig (phase=Active) → NotificationConfig → endDate field

Has anyone tried adding time to a newly activated event certification and what is the correct way to add time to a certification?

Hey @Paul_Meyer,

Yes you can try this :+1:

In SailPoint IdentityIQ, just use the Active Period Enter Rule.

What you do is:

  • When the certification becomes Active, check the start day
  • If it’s Saturday → add 2 days
  • If it’s Sunday → add 1 day

Just remember to update all dates, not just one:

  • expiration
  • endDate
  • nextPhaseTransition (important, otherwise it may still close early)

Try this in a test environment with weekend certifications and see if it works fine :+1:

@Paul_Meyer Another option could be using a rule runner to launch the certification. Team can run the task to generate and configure the certification, and it can evaluate if it is Saturday or Sunday and accordingly set the dates while scheduling campaign.

If we write it in a PhaseChange rule, performance depends on a number of certifications created in the campaign. If you have many reviewers, accordingly it’ll take time to process and update.

In case, you have limited number of reviewers, then you can give it a try with PhaseChange rule, but if you are not sure or they are more, then you can try with a rule runner to configure the certification.
