Provisioning the Directory by Using DirXmetahub
Metahub provides the ability to integrate connected data sources, such as a relational database that holds subscriber information, other LDAP directories, or flat files (for example, XML) into the SDX directory infrastructure. Metahub is a set of components that includes:
- Metadirectory store—SDX directory that holds all the required SDX-related information.
- Metaagent—Interface to the connected data source. Its function is to import and export data from the data source.
- Metacontroller—Scriptable directory that joins the engine that transforms the data representation from the connected data source to the SDX LDAP schema. It performs the load, join, and aggregate function on directory entries and attributes.
DirXmetahub provides the SRC software with a unified view of the data by synchronizing the OSS data that is stored in one or more database into the SDX directory. This synchronization process can be performed in a scheduled manner on all data or only data that has changed since the last synchronization.
