Federation Tab

This tab enables you to select which CITs or attributes are to be supported by the integration point. For example, if a TQL query includes a node that represents a specific CIT, the instances of this CIT are accepted from this external data repository.

For details about selecting CIs, see CI Selector Overview.

To access	Select the Federation tab on the Integration Studio page.
Important information	This tab is enabled only when data federation is supported by the adapter on which you are basing your integration point.
