WgnActiveImportConnector Object

The interfaces related to the WgnActiveImportConnector COM object are:

• IWgnActiveImportConnector
• IWgnImportConnectorConfig
• IWgnImportConnectorResult
• IWgnImportConnectorCallback
• IWgnImportConnectorDeferredCompletion
• IWgnSmartTag

These interfaces provide customers with extensive access to CA Data Protection's policy processing capabilities. Using these interfaces, third party applications can pass messages to the External Agent for policy processing, and receive back the resulting smart tags associated with each message.

If required, the third party application can then store smart tag metadata with the archived messages. The smart tags returned by the External Agent can also be used to identify messages that must be deleted and not archived. Finally, the External Agent can generate CA Data Protection events from the processed messages and store these events on a CMS.
