Import Data from Multiple Endpoints

A CA Identity Governance universe can contain any mix of the following types of endpoints.

• Managed Endpoints: Endpoints are managed by CA Identity Manager and connected to the product.
• Discovered Endpoints: Endpoints are connected to the product using the CA IAM Connector Server.
• Unmanaged Endpoints: Endpoints whose information is imported into the product by 3rd-party utilities, such as scripts, PDI transformations, and so on.

Importing information into a CA Identity Governance universe from any mix of two or more types of endpoints is referred to as mixed mode. A mixed universe can only support the shallow use case.

Note: To create a working mixed universe, all import sources must comply with common standards. For more information about how to build a CA Identity Governance configuration for mixed mode, see the CA Identity Governance Programming Guide.
