Identity Governance uses an application definition template to create application entities. This feature enables you to collect application configuration items from ServiceNow and from a CSV file. You can include information about one or more applications, such as their name, description, risk, classification, and vendor in a CSV file, and add these applications as an application source on the Data Sources > Applications page. You can then configure any of the applications to collect data from one or more applications.
To configure an application as a multi-application collector, you must specify a unique ID when configuring the application source. If you do not specify a unique ID, Identity Governance will create a unique ID and recognize it as a single application data source. For an application to be eligible for collection using the multi-application collector, the subordinate applications must have no collectors, must also have a unique ID (Application ID from Source), and its permissions must not be collected by any other application.
For more information about defining a application and collecting from applications sources, see Section 7.5, Collecting Application Data for Multiple Applications and Section 7.4, Collecting Application Data from a Single Application Source.
