About the Websphere Connector

BA Insight's WebSphere Connector lets you extend SharePoint and FAST Search to this ERP/CRM system. The connector centralizes information access and give you the ability to perform global searches across your enterprise data from within SharePoint.

Deployment and Scalability

The connector is deployed and configured without coding or scripting. Security and permissions mapping are managed directly through SharePoint. Longitude's wizard-driven interface and fully extensible connectivity framework enable the rapid and seamless connection to WebSphere.

Scalability and Performance

The connector maintains a calculated-change log that securely monitors activity on connected systems. By leveraging this index, connected systems are prevented from being over-burdened by repeated search queries and full-crawls. Performance results are synchronized with WebSphere according to your settings in the connector framework.

thereby ensuring optimal performance and real-time accuracy of search results. "thereby ensuring optimal performance and real-time accuracy of search result". Should this phrase be understood literally or is it a figurative expression used to create a generally positive representation of the connector? In reality, results do not get to Sharepoint in real time. As the other connectors do, this one is synchronized with CRM in equal time intervals which depend on the framework settings, i. e., new CRM data do not get into search immediately.

Data Replication into SharePoint Lists and Libraries

The connector enables secure data replication from your WebSphere system into any SharePoint List or Library. Access content and surface it within SharePoint, providing a single interface for users to access all enterprise content. To ensure scalability and performance, the connector caches all replicated data, so the target system does not need to be repeatedly queried every time a user requests content. This caching feature shields the source system from the performance degradation that real-time queries can cause.
