About Data Connector
Data Connector is a component of the Symantec Management Platform that lets you transfer data between external data sources and the Configuration Management Database (CMDB). The ability to transfer data lets you leverage the data that already exists in the CMDB or other applications. Data transfers can be scheduled, so updates can be regularly, and automatically made to keep data current. Data Connector supports many data formats: OLEDB, ODBC, LDAP, XML, and CSV.
Data Connector also lets you manipulate the data that is already in the CMDB. This ability lets you easily normalize and correct errors in your data. For example, you can use Data Connector to normalize company names so data is consistent.
