Create Connector Policy

Create a connector policy for your custom connector to transform data from the source domain manager format to the USM format and optionally to transform USM data back to the domain manager format to push changes to the domain manager.

Policy for each connector must be present in the SOI_HOME\resources\Core\Catalogpolicy directory for any processing to occur on objects retrieved from the domain manager. Without policy, domain manager data cannot be displayed in CA SOI.

For information about writing connector policy, including detailed syntax and examples for all available policy operations, see Writing Connector Policy.

All outbound policy must transform data to adhere to the USM schema for the data to appear correctly in CA SOI. For more information about the USM schema, see Unified Service Model. For more information about the types and properties supported in the USM schema, see the USM schema documentation.
