Physical Architecture

InfoLink consists of the following components:

• InfoLink Server: InfoLink implementation, a JEE6 web application tested with Apache Tomcat 9.0.0 or higher;

• Metadata repository: a database that contains metadata about all applications.

Data sources are external systems, not part of InfoLink, accessed and managed by InfoLink. All data sources are treated equally and accessed through an unified interface. In particular, there is no any special kind of source that is used as a stage database for intermediate data storage and transformations - you can use any data source (e.g. Oracle, PostgreSQL) as a stage database.
