Connector Rules

Pre-Iterate Rule :

# It's used to perform before a Connector iterates on the data

e.g    : 

# Validating a CSV file to verify that it's in good condition / valid format

# Decrypting/converting a file to another format

e.g:    1

Identity IQ Pre-Iterate Rule to archive CSV file after Aggregation.

Map To Resource Object Rule    :

# It's available for JDBC and Delimited File Connectors

# It's used for converting Map to Resource Object

# It will run during the Account Aggregations

# Provides a hook to control the map to resource object mapping

Post-Iterate Rule  :

# It's used to perform duties after a Connector iterates / pulls in data

# It will run during Account Aggregation

# Not required
