Reusable Configuration Overview

You need to configure the Data Integration Service settings for a resource to extract profile metadata from source systems. You can create a reusable configuration for scanners to extract profile metadata that you can reuse for multiple resources.
A reusable configuration helps you quickly configure multiple resources for extraction of profile metadata. Specify settings, such as the domain name, Data Integration Service Name, and user credentials.
