Understanding the Adaptive Services Interface (ASI)

The Adaptive Services Interface (ASI) feature provides organizations with the ability to adapt InfoSphere® MDM interfaces to a particular audience or messaging standard.

The Adaptive Services Interface enables you to map external XML services and data objects to InfoSphere MDM transactions and data objects using the Graphical Data Mapping (GDM) editor.

The Adaptive Services Interface encapsulates InfoSphere MDM solution transactions and objects and provides a way of communicating with InfoSphere MDM using proprietary XML based messaging and format.

The Adaptive Services Interface offers complex object-transaction mapping and data transformation.

Using the Adaptive Services Interface, InfoSphere MDM can be enabled to consume custom XML requests and return custom XML response messages. These messages can be based on industry standards or on an enterprise-wide XML message format.
