Rule-Based Processing

As publishing is not done directly to a staging area and instead publishing is done through configured pipelines, you need to configure the pipelines to implement rules that will then be enforced.

For example, you may add a rule that URLs must be whitelisted, and strip out unwanted URLs from an InfoLocator, or even any attribute. Optionally, you could log this or could replace the unwanted URLs with some redaction text.

A configuration may also apply rules to manipulate dates. By way of example, if desired, a convention may be established in ISM to specify a date format used in a particular interface and this may then be evaluated and used by server side configuration – the server side configuration is then the rule convention to use.
