Integrating data with the TRIRIGA integration object

The TRIRIGA® integration object is a utility business object in the triIntegration module that contains the metadata that controls the integration between IBM® TRIRIGA and external systems. When you create integration definitions with the TRIRIGA integration object, you use standard IBM TRIRIGA tools such as workflows and queries to build integration connections.

Overview of the TRIRIGA integration object
When you use the integration object to define a new integration definition, you must select the data scheme. Depending on your scheme selection, you must define several elements that can include the data source, import or export file, outbound query, data map, or response map.
Importing or exporting data with database tables
If your integration requires database tables to import or export your data, you use the TRIRIGA integration object to define the integration. The inbound database scheme maps the data from the external source to existing IBM TRIRIGA fields. The outbound database scheme defines which fields are exported from your IBM TRIRIGA database.
Importing or exporting data with files
If your integration requires files to import or export your data, you use the TRIRIGA integration object to define the integration. The inbound file scheme maps the data from the external source to existing IBM TRIRIGA fields. The outbound file scheme defines which fields are exported from your IBM TRIRIGA database.
Importing data into DataConnect staging tables
If your integration requires an ETL tool, but you do not have the access or training to use one, you use the TRIRIGA integration object to define the integration. The inbound IBM TRIRIGA DataConnect scheme maps the data from the import file to the DataConnect staging tables.
Exporting data with the HTTP protocol
If your integration requires the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) to export your data, you use the TRIRIGA integration object to define the integration. The outbound HTTP post scheme maps the response parameters from the HTTP request to existing IBM TRIRIGA fields.
Integration execution
In addition to the Execute form action, you can also execute an integration object record or integration definition from a custom task or a URL. With a custom task, you can filter an outbound query with data from the currently running process. With a URL, you can pass parameters from an external application to trigger the Execute action or retrieve the results of an IBM TRIRIGA report-manager query in JSON format.
Integration elements
In addition to defining and executing the integration definition, the elements and processes that are common to integrations include outbound formats, object upgrades, and object migrations. Other common elements include standard workflows, standard queries, and standard lists.
