Integration prerequisites

During the integration of the PEM Portal with the Sterling File Gateway on-premise product, you must create the appropriate custom fields and attribute names and values for a newly onboarded sponsor organization.

Note: For a default sponsor organization, the custom fields and attribute names and values are already created. Ensure that these parameters are present in the PEM Portal, PEM Partner Repository, and PEM Partner Provisioner.
