Data Store
The real-time data store includes the enterprise data that must be available at all times to enterprise
clients. Of course, different organizations have different requirements, yet real-time solutions have
certain common characteristics.
Fundamental to any real-time solution is a data model that maps the fields from a set of industry-specific
messages, such as IDocs for a supply chain or Health Level 7 for EHR, onto fields and records in a
database. For a supply-chain or an electronic health record (EHR) system, HP can provide a starting data
model that includes data elements common to solutions of that type. You can modify or extend the data
model to meet the requirements of your solution.
It is not uncommon for large organizations with many applications to use different identifying
information to represent the same person. To enable all information for a person to be correlated, the
Director can generate a unique ID for each person. It can also generate unique IDs for other entities, such
as agents (sources or consumers of data), regardless of how those entities might be represented in source
systems. Finally, the Director can generate unique IDs for specific events, such as each encounter
between a patient and a healthcare provider.
To improve load balancing and performance, you can partition the data store on the basis of natural or
artificial keys. The Director can assign partition IDs according to any of several partitioning strategies.
