About the IBM Websphere Connector

BA Insight's IBM 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 Connection defines the how Connectivity Hub connects to your Source System (which contains your documents, graphics, etc.,). Your Connection includes identifying elements such as: URL of the BA Insight web service connector you are using, (File Share connector, SharePoint Online connector, etc.), Authentication mode, User Accounts and Credentials, Database information (for database connectors) 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.

• 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, that is, new CRM data do not get into search immediately.

Data Replication into SharePoint Lists and Libraries

The connector enables secure data replication from your IBM 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 A Target is a "pointer" to a specific instance of a search application, such as Elasticsearch. - (A Search application instance has one or more indexes) system does not need to be repeatedly queried every time a user requests content.

• This caching feature shields the source system Your Source System is the repository where your data is stored (data to be indexed). This repository is managed by applications such as: - SharePoint O365 - SharePoint 2013/16/19 - Documentum - File Share - OpenText - Lotus Notes - etc. Your Source System repository can also be a database such as SQL or Oracle. from the performance degradation that real-time queries can cause.
