B Connector Objects Created by the Generic Technology Connector Framework

The list of connector objects created by the generic technology connector framework depends on the combination of the Reconciliation and Provisioning options that you select on the Step 1: Basic Information screen:

• Both Reconciliation and Provisioning Are Selected

• Only Reconciliation Is Selected

• Only Provisioning Is Selected

Both Reconciliation and Provisioning Are Selected

The following objects are created when you select both the Provisioning and Reconciliation options on the Step 1: Basic Information screen:

• IT resource type

  The parameters of the IT resource type are the run-time parameters of the Format and Transport providers (for both reconciliation and provisioning) that you select on the first screen. The name of the IT resource type is the same as the name of the generic technology connector.

• IT resource

  The IT resource is an instance of the IT resource type. It contains the run-time parameter values of the providers. Its name is the same as the name of the generic technology connector.

• Resource object

  The resource object holds the values of the fields that constitute the parent data set in the Reconciliation Staging category. The name of the resource object is the same as the name of the generic technology connector. For each child data set in the Reconciliation Staging category, multivalued reconciliation fields (with corresponding child fields as their attributes) are automatically created.

  You can modify the resource object definition by using the features of the Modify Connector Configuration screen to add or modify fields in this category.

• Parent and child forms

  Parent and child forms are based on the Account data set and its child data sets, respectively. By default, the names of the forms are the same as the names of their corresponding data sets. On the Step 3: Verify Form Names screen, you can change the form names as required.

• Generic adapter

  The generic adapter contains the code for all the provisioning functions that a generic technology connector performs. Its name is same as the name of the generic technology connector.

• Process definition

  The process definition contains the reconciliation field mappings and the process tasks. Its name is the same as the name of the generic technology connector. Refer to the "Modifying Default Process Task Assignments" section for information about the process tasks that are included in the process definition.

• Scheduled task

  During a reconciliation run, the scheduled task triggers the reconciliation processes in the predefined sequence. The name of the scheduled task is the same as the name of the generic technology connector. The "Step 5: Configuring Reconciliation" section provides information about setting up the scheduled task.

• Reconciliation rule

  The reconciliation rule is made up of rule elements. A single rule element represents a mapping created between a field of the Reconciliation Staging data set and a field of the User data set. The name of the reconciliation rule is the same as the name of the generic technology connector.

The user group to which the creator of the generic technology connector belongs is made the administrator of the following connector objects that are automatically created during the generic technology connector creation process:

• IT resource

• Resource object (Administrator and Object Authorizer)

• All forms

• Process definition

Only Reconciliation Is Selected

Refer to the "Both Reconciliation and Provisioning Are Selected" section for the list of objects that are created when you select both the Reconciliation and Provisioning options. From that list, the following objects are not created when you select only the Reconciliation option on the Step 1: Basic Information screen:

• Generic adapter

• Framework-defined process tasks

  However, the process definition itself and its constituent system-defined process tasks are created. Refer to the "Modifying Default Process Task Assignments" section for information about the types of process tasks.

Only Provisioning Is Selected

Refer to the "Both Reconciliation and Provisioning Are Selected" section for the list of objects that are created when you select both the Reconciliation and Provisioning options. From that list, the following objects are not created when you select only the Provisioning option on the Step 1: Basic Information screen:

• Reconciliation rules

• Scheduled task

• Reconciliation field

• Reconciliation field mappings
