System of Centrally Managing Core Reference Data Associated with an Enterprise

摘要

A system is provided for centrally managing core enterprise reference data associated with an enterprise. A centralized master repository contains the core enterprise reference data. The internal services framework also provides internal services for managing the core enterprise reference data within the centralized master repository, one or more of the internal services having direct access to the core enterprise reference data stored in the centralized master repository for management purposes. An infrastructure services layer coupled to the centralized master repository provides for bulk data transfers of core enterprise reference data between the centralized master repository and one or more external operational systems according to one or more enterprise-level business workflows, the external operational systems permitted indirect access to the core enterprise reference data stored in the centralized master repository for operational purposes.

1. A system of centrally managing managed data of an enterprise, comprising:
an infrastructure services layer tangibly embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable storage media and coupled with a centralized master repository, the infrastructure services layer providing messaging between the centralized master repository and one or more external operational systems, the external operational systems permitted indirect access to managed data of the enterprise stored in the centralized master repository, the infrastructure services layer further providing mapping between the centralized master repository and the one or more external operational systems; a database comprising a cached data area comprising cached data representing managed data of the enterprise extracted from a managed data area in response to a processing request from one or more internal services and re-inserted into the managed data area following processing from one or more internal services, one or more of the internal services directly accessing the managed data of the enterprise stored in the centralized master repository; and an inbound staging area comprising one or more inbound staging tables and the managed data area comprises one or more core master data management (MDM) tables, wherein inbound data is transferred from the one or more data sources to the one or more inbound staging tables before the one or more core MDM tables; one or more data targets, wherein outbound data is provided to the one or more data targets; and when the outbound data is not sourced from the centralized master repository, transferring the outbound data from the one or more inbound staging tables to one or more outbound staging tables of an uncoupled outbound staging area before the one or more data targets; when the outbound data is sourced from the centralized master repository, transferring the outbound from the one or more core MDM tables to one or more outbound staging tables of a coupled outbound staging area before the one or more data targets; synchronizing data within the one or more core MDM tables with the outbound data in the one or more outbound staging tables of the coupled outbound staging area and the uncoupled outbound staging area; and wherein the managed data area stores the managed data of an enterprise as cached data in an intermediate state according to a manipulation process, the managed data of the enterprise is maintained as locked in its true state for read only access until completion of the manipulation process, outputting the intermediate state of the cached data related to the managed data of the enterprise to an entity of the enterprise.
