What is Imanami Directory Transformation Manager ?
|
| DTM allows you to connect Active Directory, Exchange 5.5, or SunOne/iPlanet to another database or directory. Combine data from multiple sources into Active Directory. Pull user information directly from the HR system. Pull contact information directly from your CRM solution or SQL table, or even an Access database or Excel spreadsheet. Whether you need to replicate data from your Human Resources database to your Exchange 5.5 directory or from your Lotus Notes system to Active Directory, DTM has you covered, allowing you to select only the information you need to synchronize. |

How does Imanami Directory Transformation Manager work?
|
DTM directly connects two data sources through a job. It does not use or require a staging area or meta directory. A job defines the connection information needed to access each data source, how the data is related and how the data should flow.
For example, let's say you have employee information stored in an Oracle table and you want to update users in Active Directory with this information. You would start by launching DTM and creating a new job. The job wizard will walk you through the process. You first provide the connection information to Oracle and Active Directory (the name of the server, the table, and credentials to use, etc.). DTM will then examine the data sources and provide you with a list of attributes available in Oracle and Active Directory. Select the attributes in Active Directory that you would like to populate from Oracle.
Next the wizard will ask how to find related records. Typically there are one or more columns in your source (the Oracle table in this case) that match one more attributes in Active Directory. This might be an employee identification number, user ID or just by their name. Once you have the relationship defined via the key fields it is time to connect the columns in the Oracle table or view to attributes in Active Directory. You can directly connect the attributes or you can use transformations (DTM scripts) to calculate the value of an attribute.
Once the wizard is complete you can run a Preview to see what would happen. During the preview DTM loads the records from the Oracle table and looks for matching records in Active Directory. It calculates what would change without actually changing anything in Active Directory. Once it is complete you can review what would change and if everything looks good you can choose Run to actually make the changes. If the results are not what you expected you can go back into the wizard and reconfigure the job until you get the results you want. |

What does Imanami Directory Transformation Manager offer?
|
With shrinking IT budgets it is more important that ever to "Do more with less". DTM provides meta directory services without the meta directory. Using DTM you can leverage your existing infrasturcture investment and turn your Exchange 5.5 directory or Active Directory into your own meta directory by replicating multiple data sources to it.
DTM can also provision new user accounts, so when new employees joins the company they have access to their email and are productive from day one. When an employee leaves, DTM can disable or even delete their account, ensuring they do not have access to company resources after they have departed. |
