Crew,
Que pensez-vous aux
nouvelles définitions? Can anyone please suggest
some additional verbiage for Data Manager definition? I have tried to subsume
all the feedback from Hubert / Paul / Jack….
COSMOS Broker
Is a
COSMOS component with which web services may register, and for COSMOS clients
to find those web services. Currently, there are no restrictions on the
type of web services that may register themselves with the Broker.
Data Manager
A Data Manager
exposes some operations of a product via a collection of web services. (CAN WE
ADD MORE TEXT HERE?)
Product Client
Is a
product-specific API that is implemented by each product to access its data. The
Product Client is not written by COSMOS; and the COSMOS architecture
does not enforce the use of Product Clients. It is an implementation detail
about how to turn the incoming SOAP message into a product API call. In some
cases, the (Data Manager) web services can query the data stores without using
product APIs; however, this is not recommended as COSMOS has no knowledge of
the business rules that apply to product data.
MDR
An MDR is a “special”
Data Manager that supports the CMDBf web services and data.
Federating CMDB
Hubert to fill in…
COSMOS Client
Is a
component used access and visualize information from Product Data sources via
Data Managers. The Client may be an API or a UI; COSMOS ships with a
sample webUI.
Thanks,
Jimmy
