About Address Handlers for Network Integrity

Discovery actions use address handlers to validate the scope of discovery scans run from Network Integrity. Oracle Communications provides basic address handlers in the Address Handler cartridge provided with Network Integrity.

Address handlers cannot exist in the same cartridge project as actions. See Network Integrity Developer's Guide for information about building custom address handlers.

If you do not add an address handler, Network Integrity cannot validate scope addresses at run time. Addresses are treated individually and invalid addresses fail.
