Tivoli Directory Integrator

• A lightweight - but extremely powerful -
  integration toolkit
• Rapidly build connections between data sources
• Unified framework for multiple integration tasks
• Typical use case Migration and maintenance of
  attribute relationships across data sources
• Files to databases and directories
• Synchronizing data stores (LDAP, RDBMS, Notes,
  mail, etc.)
• Using and responding to network protocols
• Accessing Java APIs (IBM, 3rd party and custom)
• Available both stand-alone and bundled

On Demand Integration (ODIN)
IBM Software Group

• Installs in minutes
• Resource footprint is tiny
• Can piggyback on existing servers
• Solution and component reusability
• Leverage existing assets and community expertise
• No prototype throw-away
• POC/POT hardened to make production solution
• Migrate from development to deployment quickly
• Unparalleled speed of deployment
• Iterative build-test-refine cycles
• Facilitates what-if exploratory methodology

Rapid Integration Deployment (RID)
IBM Software Group

• Two parts IDE Runtime Server
• Config Editor IDE for creating, testing
  maintaining solutions
• Runtime Server for deploying solutions
• Both written in Java (platform agnostic)

5
Kernel/Component architecture

• Kernel provides a RID framework with -
  automated behavior - arbitrary depth of
  customization - housekeeping gt
  log-files, tracing gt error handling gt
  startup parameters gt management
  interface/API ...
• Components create level playing field by
  abstracting away the details of -
  transports - APIs - protocols
  - data/file formats
