Real Time Information Director User Documentation

XI Integration Server.
iHUB
Nickname for the HP supply chain implementation, which uses the Director. The RTSC Data Model is
based on the iHUB data model.
Insert
The type of insertion performed by the Director when an inbound document is certain to be new.
InstanceId
A metadata option used to assign a line number or subitem number to a specified column of a record that
is logically a child to another record. InstanceId is often used in conjunction with the SystemKey of the
parent record to form the key fields of a record. When records are nested to many levels in a document,
the key of a record may contain several instance IDs inherited from ancestors.
Integration Server
In enterprise application integration (EAI), the component that performs message transformation and
routing. An integration server communicates with source and target systems by using protocol-specific
adapters; for example, the webMethods and SAP XI integration servers use JMS adapters to exchange
messages in real time with the NonStop Server. The SeeBeyond e*Gate integration server uses an HTTP
adapter, called an e*Way. Also see Adapter.
Java Messaging Service (JMS)
The messaging service supported by J2EE. The Director and the off-platform EAI adapters can use JMS
for real-time document exchange.
Keys table
A database table required to support partitioning based on artificial keys. For each kind of data to be
partitioned, the table specifies parameters like the starting partition number, the number of partitions, and
the range of keys.
LeftJoin
A metadata option used to join one table with another. It causes a "LEFT JOIN ON " clause to be added
to the SQL statements generated for the record.
Low-level interface
A Director API provided to support batch applications and others that do not use XML documents for
input and output. Instead of XML, the low-level interface operates directly on the Group object that
represents a document within the Director.
Mapper
An object used to describe a table that correlates external IDs, used in business documents, with internal
IDs used in the Data Store.
