INTEGRATION OF DATA PROCESSING SYSTEMS

摘要

A host system such as a performance management system (1) uses an integration engine (18) to automatically capture data from external systems such as a switch. The engine (18) allows the user to configure it for population of columns in a data container according to simple or advanced filtering mappings. Data is further consolidated according to agents in containers associated with the external systems. Data dictionary rules define how fields for information management function (6) are generated.
