The application toolkit components
are designed to provide easy mechanisms to build process applications
that operate on master data.
You can use many of these components to design your own process
applications. However, some components are used with the solutions
that are provided with IBM Stewardship Center and
are reserved for that purpose. These solution components are not intended
for you to use to develop your own process applications.
The
application toolkit includes
the following components:
- Business objects
- Business objects are representations of a business
entity, such as an invoice, or a data type. The MDM Application Toolkit
includes some built-in business objects. There are general MDM business
objects that contain entity and connectivity information. There are
adaptor business objects that define the information that you want
to retrieve from your MDM system.
The majority of the business objects
that you will use are created from the MDM data model on your own
system.
- Coach views
- A coach view is reusable coach component, such as
a button or table, that you use in a user interface. Coach views are
used to interact with a business object or service. You can add multiple
coach views to a Human Service.
- Integration Services
- You use integration services to interact with the MDM operational
server to perform an action. Some of the integration services are
used for common actions, such as create, delete, or update actions.
Other integration services are designed for specifically Physical
MDM and Virtual MDM actions. Many of the integration services are
designed to work with the output of a coach view, or to populate the
data in a coach view.
- Samples
- The application toolkit is
comprised of multiple files, including a samples package. Explore
the samples to learn how some of the application toolkit components
are used.
- Components used with IBM Stewardship Center
- There are components in the application toolkit which
are designed for IBM Stewardship Center.
These components can be used independently from the IBM Stewardship Center.
These components are:
- MDM Compare coach view
- MDM Virtual Suspected Duplicates coach view
- Several integration services that are for Virtual MDM suspected
duplicate processing (MDM VSDP)
- A set of defined teams
