Synchronization Formats Overview

Synchronization formats define the attributes and structure of the data required by the consumers of that data. The output map defines mappings of repository attributes to synchronization format. When a repository is synchronized, the synchronization format provides the structure for the output information.

The Synchronization format editor provides you with a User Interface that helps create Synchronization format which can then be referred in the Output Map during mappings.

While creating a new MDM Developer project, the synchronization special folder named Sync Format is created. If the Sync format folder is not created you can manually create the special folder. For more information, refer to Creating the Synchronization Format Special Folder.
