Policies manage the data that is synchronizing between the Identity Vault and the remote data store. The policies are stored in the policy sets, see Understanding Policies for Identity Manager 3.5.1 . Designer provides a wide set of tools for defining and debugging policies to control how information flows from one system to another, and under what conditions. The following sections explain how to use the tools that are provided to help manage the policies:

Section 3.0, Managing Policies with the Policy Builder
Section 4.0, Using Additional Builders
Section 5.0, Using the XPath Builder
Section 6.0, Defining Schema Mapping Policies

Section 8.0, Using Predefined Rules
Section 9.0, Testing Policies with the Policy Simulator
Section 10.0, Storing Information in Resource Objects
Section 11.0, Using ECMAScript in Policies
