(WAL) - Workflow Example - Create All Resource Set for a New Resource

In this Workflow Example we will demonstrate how to use the MIM WAL to build a Workflow that can be used to create a set in the FIM / MIM Portal that is an All Resources Set. When Creating a new Resource in the FIM / MIM Portal it is important to remember to create a Set that contains all of the resource that you just created. This step is often overlooked and although it is not difficult it could be automated with a simple workflow. Additionally this example demonstrates how to work with Filters in a workflow.

Prerequisites:

1. Read The MIMWAL (Custom Workflow Activity Library)
2. Add "Forefront Identity Manager Service Account" to the Administrator Set
3. Create an "_All Resources" Sets with the Criteria of Created Time after 1 day ago (this is to ensure that the workflow will only be triggered for Resources Created after yesterday.
