  1. IBM Information Server Deliver – Federation Server

  2. IBM Information ServerDelivering information you can trust Support for Service-Oriented Architectures Transform Deliver Understand Cleanse Discover, model, and govern information structure and content Standardize, merge, and correct information Combine and restructure information for new uses Synchronize, virtualize and move information for in-line delivery Platform Services Parallel Processing Administration Deployment Connectivity Metadata

  3. IBM Information Server Delivering information you can trust IBM Information Server Transform Deliver Understand Cleanse Discover, model, and govern information structure and content Standardize, merge, and correct information Combine and restructure information for new uses Synchronize, virtualize and move information for in-line delivery Platform Services Parallel Processing Administration Deployment Connectivity Metadata Federation Server Dynamically integrate information from disparate data and content sources in a single query as if it were coming from one system

  4. Access diverse and distributed information as if it were in one system Define integrated views across diverse distributed data Vast array of data and content sources(legacy mainframe systems, XML, unstructured content, any RDBMS, etc.) Query data as if a single source Use standard query and expressions Use standard analytical, reporting, development, and portal tools Maintain performance metrics Provide read as well as update capability Deliver: Federation & Connectivity SQL

  5. Federated Sources SQL Distributed Federation SQL Classic Federation Mainframe databases Mainframe files Relational databases XML Web services Packaged applications Web Other • IMS • Adabas • CA-Datacom • CA-IDMS • VSAM • Sequential • DB2 • Informix • Oracle • Sybase • Teradata • Microsoft SQL Server • ODBC • WebSphere BI Adaptors • SAP • PeopleSoft • Siebel • OLE DB • Excel • Flat files • Custom-built Plus partner tools and custom-built connectors extend access to more sources

  6. WebSphere Federation Server Basic Concepts Federated server: a DB2 database enabled for federation. Wrapper:a library allowing access to a particular class of data sources or protocols. Server: represents a specific data source Nickname: a local alias to data on a remote server (mapped to rows and columns). Appears as a DB2 table Federation Server DB2 Catalog • Stores information about: • Wrappers,servers, nicknames • Server attributes • Nickname attributes • Remote functions Nickname Nickname Nickname Server Server Wrapper

  7. Extend a Data Warehouse Requirements • Warehouse users need access to up-to-the-minute data from an external source • External data may not be integrated into the warehouse until later (or never) because it is not practical or possible Solution • Access remote data via WFS nicknames and combine with DW data Client Federation Server
