What type of file is used for disconnected sources in account aggregation?

The correct answer is that a de-limited file is used for disconnected sources in account aggregation.

In the context of account aggregation, disconnected sources refer to systems or applications that do not have direct integration capabilities with SailPoint Identity Now. To facilitate the account aggregation process from these sources, data can be extracted into a de-limited file format, such as CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or TSV (Tab-Separated Values).

De-limited files organize data in a structured manner, allowing the extraction of rows and columns, which makes it easier for Identity Now to process and import this information. The use of specific delimiters (like commas or tabs) in these files helps to clearly define the data fields, enhancing the likelihood of successful parsing and interpretation during the aggregation process.

In contrast, other file types such as text files may not have a structured format, which can lead to challenges in parsing and interpreting data consistently. Video files are not suitable for data extraction because they primarily contain multimedia content rather than structured data. Binary files, while they can hold various types of data, lack the human-readable format that de-limited files provide, making them less ideal for direct processing in account aggregation tasks.
