Overview
Gain “one version of the truth” across systems
webMethods OneData reconciles, cleanses, synchronizes and stores all your master data as well as all data definitions, structures, workflow, processes and rules. Our process-driven MDM approach ensures you can identify the right master data and control on-going changes. You can also easily manage and govern data in remote databases and applications.
Count on “one version of truth” for all operational and analytical systems. Our process-driven master data management solution ensures you can identify the right master data and control on-going changes. You can also easily manage and govern data in remote databases and applications.
Acquisition & deployment
Import and export data in a scalable way. A wizard helps you load structures and data from other applications or files, resolving and maintaining all dependencies during the import data process.
Deployment capabilities help you distribute enterprise data repository contents to subscribing systems and quickly align all applications without any programming. Downstream systems are insulated from structure changes.
You can distribute contents via:
- JMS messaging
- XML
- Web services
- Direct updates
- File transfer
Management
Count on a vast array of data management software features to help you browse and maintain the enterprise data repository contents, whether they are stored locally or in external databases. Those features include:
- Filter/search
- Add-copy-edit-delete-restore
- Multiple-column sort
- Import/export
- Print/e-mail
You can also create and manage various types of business-critical hierarchical structures, such as self-recursive, network-recursive and “ragged” hierarchies.
OneData can easily become your enterprise information hub since you can manage your data in external databases and use many different integration options, publish/subscribe messaging and various distribution types, such as remote database updates, JMS, XML, Web services, SQL and text files. It can be a key component of your enterprise information integration initiatives and the authoritative source of all your enterprise’s non-transactional data.
Repository
webMethods OneData provides three distinct database schemas:
- A metadata area
- An authoring area
- A release area
The metadata area stores internal metadata and application-related configuration settings for the user interface, user accounts and authorizations, and also workflow and process flow.
Both the authoring and release areas contain your data. Data creation and changes are performed in the authoring area. After workflow approval rules are met, changes are automatically moved to the release area.
All three database schemas are stored without any proprietary structures. This helps streamline integration with third-party tools.
Easy-to-use interface
Create and manage your master data easily via OneData’s browser-based interface. The interface hides the complexity of the underlying master data and technical details from your business users and presents this information in business terms.
The interface is metadata-driven and generated automatically by webMethods OneData based on the underlying data model. You can modify and fine-tune it easily based on business requirements. Changes to the data model are immediately reflected.
View data in multiple ways, such as tabular, hierarchical and graphical. You also can use OneData interface functions as a front-end for other external enterprise data repositories.
