A deferred process in IBM Cúram Social Program Managementis a business method that is invoked asynchronously. As deferred processes interact with the application, valid Cúram credentials must exist. The SYSTEM user account must exist on the Cúram Users table and must be enabled and assigned the role 'SYSTEMROLE' to ensure authorization. The locale for deferred processes is the default locale for this user as specified in field 'defaultLocale' on the Users table. In the case of offline unit-testing of deferred processes, the username is blank and the effective locale is the default locale for the IBM Cúram Social Program Managementserver.
