Result

As part of this transition, all the data sources, tags, and certificates that were previously configured in the Common Connector Configurator are migrated into the Common Configurator. This ensures that the existing configurations and settings are preserved and available in the updated version, so you do not have to manually reconfigure them.

By transferring the configurations, the updated Common Configurator can continue to use the same data sources, tags, and certificates that were previously set up in the Common Connector Configurator.
