Software that synchronizes data across multiple repositories
Software builds authoritative data infrastructure for consistent data across multiple identity or generic data resources.
Use Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS to visually assemble data flow rules that control how data moves and is transformed between any number of systems, transports, and data stores.
- Transforms, moves and synchronizes generic and identity data residing in heterogeneous directories, databases, files, collaborative systems and applications, with real-time automated updates to the authoritative data source
- Helps enhance the security, accuracy and integrity of generic and user identity data, while facilitating data migration, transformation to other file formats, and synchronization between two or more systems
- Enhancements include a simplified interface to develop point-to-point integration; ability to visually step through data processed by an AssemblyLine; providing Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS as a service using the Representational State Transfer interface
- Provides an intuitive graphical user interface for development, deployment and maintenance of synchronization rules, as well as a scalable, Web-based operations monitoring administrative console
- Provides an open synchronization architecture that supports multivendor IT infrastructures with ease of use, ease of deployment, and rapid time to value, while flexibly scaling from small to very large deployments
- Helps accelerate deployment of IBM Tivoli® security management software such as Tivoli Identity Manager, Tivoli Access Manager and IBM Tivoli Federated Identity Manager, and other IBM infrastructure software, including IBM Tivoli Change and Configuration Management Database (CCMDB), Tivoli Service Request Manager, WebSphere®, Lotus® Domino® and Lotus Connections middleware

| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Synchronize information across multiple data repositories quickly and efficiently | Identify and resolve conflicts among all sources of identity or generic data | Decreases the potential for security breaches and audit failures |
| Supports data from widely different systems, such as files, databases, directories, message queues and Web services | Build an automated, authoritative data infrastructure | Helps lower costs while improving the quality of data |
| Scheduled synchronization, or integrated event-condition-action paradigm and event handlers | Can operate independently of data systems or react real time to business process events | Provides great flexibility for synchronization with configurable options |
| AssemblyLine packaging | A connector converts an entire AssemblyLine into a single component that can be shared or re-used | Enables streamlined integration within and across IT infrastructures |
| Standards & Web Services support | Supports most standard protocols, transports, APIs and formats, like JDBC, LDAP, JMS, JNDI and XML | Integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of repositories and technologies and enables integration with new and existing Web Services in the enterprise |
| Decentralized architecture | Local departments manage the data they know best, using tools that make them most productive | Eliminates the expense of deploying and maintaining a centralized, proprietary data store |
| Flexible and open architecture | Enables both meta-directory and point-to-point deployments | Quickly builds powerful integration solutions and maximize the accuracy of the data you maintain |
Business benefits
Tivoli® Directory Integrator for z/OS integrates and synchronizes generic and identity data residing in a variety of system stores, such as files, message queues, Web services, directories, databases, collaborative systems, applications used for human resources (HR), customer relationship management (CRM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and other corporate applications.
By serving as a flexible, synchronization layer between a company's data infrastructure and the application sources of generic and identity data, Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS eliminates the need for a centralized datastore. For those companies that choose to deploy an enterprise directory solution, Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS can help ease the process by connecting to the identity data from the various repositories throughout the organization. Ensuring that your data is consistent across the organization helps improve the integrity of the information.
With built-in connectors, an open-architecture Java development environment to extend these connectors, and tools to apply logic to data as data is processed, Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS can help you by:
Synchronizing and exchanging information between files, applications or directory sources
Managing data across a variety of repositories providing the consistent directory infrastructure needed for a wide variety of applications including security and provisioning
Create the authoritative data spaces needed to expose only trustworthy data to advanced software applications such as Web services
Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS software architecture includes:
An AssemblyLine methodology that builds a compound information object from connected information sources, performs modifications on received data, or creates new entries altogether and adds/updates/deletes the new information object to the assigned destinations.
An Event Handling Connector framework that adds to the flexibility of Tivoli Directory Integrator for z/OS by providing the ability to wait for, and react to, specific events that have taken place in the infrastructure, such as changes in a directory, arriving e-mails, records updated in certain databases, incoming HTML pages from a Web server or browser, arriving Web services-based Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messages, as well as other types of events defined by the user.
Connectors to support numerous protocols and access mechanisms are included with the product or can be easily created or modified.
Parsers to interpret and translate information from a byte stream into a structured information object, where each piece of information is accessible by name. You can also translate a structured information object into a byte stream. You can select from the wide range of extensible parsers such as "comma separated values", "fixed column", LDAP Data Interchange Format (LDIF), Extensible Markup Language (XML), SOAP and Directory Services Markup Language (DSML), or create a new parser from scratch.
Hooks to enable the definition of certain actions to be executed under specific circumstances, or at desired points in the execution of the AssemblyLine process.
The plug-and-play functionality of these components facilitates rapid prototyping and implementation of intelligent data flows. Additionally, it is possible to extend virtually all of these integration components (for example, Function Components, Connectors and Parsers), functions and attributes through a JavaScript scripting language.
