This section describes policies and rules for the Subscriber and Publisher channels in the WorkOrder driver’s basic configuration. For an overview on how the Subscriber and Publisher channels work, see Section 1.1.1, Subscriber Channel Functions and Section 1.1.2, Publisher Channel Functions.
The Subscriber channel processes only events that pertain to the work orders. The following table lists the rules and policies used in configuring the Subscriber channel:
Rule or Policy |
What it does |

Event Transformation |
Not used in the packages. |
Matching Rule |
Not used in the packages. |
Create Rule |
Contains rules only for WorkOrder objects. Requires values for the following attributes on a WorkOrder object:
If the values are not present, the work order is not sent to the Publisher channel and the work order is not updated by the driver. For a description of these attributes, see Section C.0, Schema and Policy Rules For Work Order Management. |

Schema Mapping |
Maps the eDirectory namespace to the Work Order namespace. |
