Real Time Information Director User Documentation

The correspondence between a tag in an XML document and a record or field in the Data Store. Also, a
mechanism for correlating external IDs in documents with internal IDs used in the Data Store. In EAI,
the correspondence between a data element in an incoming message and a data element in the message
format expected by a target system.
MBeanClient
Name of the Director management client class.
Metadata
A collection of nested Java new statements that describe the mapping between XML documents and the
Data Store. The Director uses two types of metadata: format metadata (for IDocs only) and content
metadata (for all document types).
Native XML
A document format in which segments of an XML document correspond to records in the Data Store,
and elements in an XML document correspond to fields in the data store, with names corresponding
exactly to the XML tag names.
NonStop WLS
A J2EE-compliant application server that extends the BEA WebLogic Server for enhanced
fault-tolerance and scalability. NonStop WLS includes the BEA WebLogic Server and the HP NonStop
Server Toolkit for WebLogic Server.
OrderBy
A metadata option specifying the order in which records will be returned in an outbound (query)
document. By default, rows are returned in the order returned by SQL-MX when no "Order By" clause is
specified.
Parent-child affinity
A partitioning strategy in which each incoming child record is assigned the same partition ID as the
parent. The same records can have different relationships for different document types.
Partitioning
A strategy for distributing a database table across multiple disk volumes or CPUs, in order to achieve
load balancing and performance benefits. A table can be partitioned on the basis of a natural key (such as
customer name) or an artificial key assigned by the Director. You use enrichment classes to specify
partitioning requirements, including parameters like the number of partitions, the range of keys, and the
partitioning strategy, e.g., round robin, system key affinity, parent-child affinity, or hashing from a
natural key.
Processing mode
A configuration parameter that determines whether inbound documents are processed normally, saved
for later processing, or discarded. This feature, available through the management client, makes it
possible to shut off or isolate data feeds in the context of Director troubleshooting.
