Rules

MRE operates from rules and you can have as many rules as you like in this framework for as many object types as you like.

All rules should be written in valid XML and are contained in a FIM.MRE.xml file. You can have as many rule files as you want and each rule file may contain as many rules as needed for the configuration. A rule can be enabled or disabled individually.

The structure of a FIM.MRE.xml rule file should look like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RulesFile>
  <Externals>
    <External>...</External>
    <External>...</External>
  </Externals>
  <Rules>
    <Rule>...</Rule>
    <Rule>...</Rule>
    <Rule>...</Rule>
    <Rule>...</Rule>
  </Rules>
</RulesFile>

If you change the rules, the FIM Synchronization Service should be restarted for the new rule files to be picked up.
