The company's main computers do not always need to be accessed. Data integration software has enough intelligence to know when to synchronize with the main computers to keep data up to date. Integrating ERP data for e-commerce applications is done through combined data staging with direct access to ERP data. It involves using a data server and data caches. The steps of the data movement involve identifying the sources from which data should be extracted, transformations the data should undergo, and where to send the data.
Users specify data mappings and transformations through a graphical user interface.
User-defined processes control movement of each block of data and define interdependencies between such movements. For example, if one target table depends on values from other target tables, processes are used to specify the order in which a data server should run individual data movements that fill the tables. Data integration software works in conjunction with products from enterprise application integration vendors and process integrators, not in lieu of them. Click to Download.
