Integration Framework Overview
The integration framework facilitates bidirectional data exchange between the
system and external applications in real time or batch mode. Through the
integration framework, you can exchange data synchronously and
asynchronously by using a variety of communication protocols.
The integration framework also provides features that support the integration
with operational management products, such as IBM
®
Tivoli
®
Provisioning
Manager. You also can use a system application user interface to launch an
external application user interface.
