Reconciliation Policies and the Reconcile Policy View

Reconciliation policy settings are stored in a tree structure with the following general structure:

Settings can be specified at any point in the tree. If a level does not specify a value for a policy, it is inherited from the next highest policy.

The view represents an effective policy at a specified point in the policy tree, which is identified by the view name.
