Tivoli Directory Integrator

Synchronizes information

• Transforms, moves and synchronizes generic data and user identity data residing in heterogeneous directories, databases, files, collaborative systems and applications. Provides near real-time automated updates to the authoritative data source.
• Facilitates data migration, transformation to other file formats and synchronization between two or more systems.
• Supports scheduled synchronization, or integrated event-condition-action paradigm and event handlers.
• Manages data throughout a variety of repositories. You gain the consistent directory infrastructure needed for a wide variety of applications, including security and provisioning.
• Creates the authoritative data spaces needed to expose only trustworthy data to advanced software applications, such as web services.

Includes built-in connectors

• Supports AssemblyLine packaging. A connector converts an entire AssemblyLine into a single component, which can be shared or reused.
• Provides an Event Handling Connector framework. It can wait for, and react to, specific events that have taken place in the infrastructure, such as changes in a directory, arriving emails, incoming HTML pages from a web server or browser, and more.
• Allows you to more easily create or modify connectors in Java and JavaScript.

Provides an open synchronization architecture

• Is easier to deploy and delivers rapid time to value.
• Flexibly scales from small to very large deployments.
• Enables both meta-directory and point-to-point deployments.
• Supports a decentralized architecture, which eliminates the expense of deploying and maintaining a centralized, proprietary data store.

Provides broad support

• Supports a broad set of platforms, including IBM AIX®, IBM System z®, Microsoft Windows, UNIX and Linux environments.
• Supports AIX, HP-UX, i/OS family and IBM z/OS® operating systems.
• Supports most standard protocols, transports, application programming interfaces (APIs) and formats, such as Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Java Message Service (JMS), Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) and XML.
• Integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of repositories and technologies.
• Enables integration with new and existing web services in the enterprise.

Is easier to use

• Provides an intuitive GUI for development, deployment and maintenance of synchronization rules.
• Offers a scalable, web-based operations monitoring administrative console.
• Includes an intuitive interface to develop point-to-point integration.
