Assigning Backup Users
In webMethods OneData, you can appoint a backup user for a specific duration to assist with workflow and change management requests. During the effective date range, webMethods OneData automatically diverts workflow and change requests from the primary assignee to the backup user.
The effective dates control how long requests are routed to the backup user. If the From Date is not set, webMethods OneData assigns work to the backup user immediately. If the To Date is not set, the backup user is active permanently until either a To Date is set or the backup user is unassigned (the user ID is removed from the Backup user field).
A user who is assigned as a backup user cannot be deleted from the system while the backup dates are effective.
