High Volume Data Exchange

In order to avoid a network slowdown or interference with another application, your organization might require a way to schedule a high volume integration at a specific time, typically at night. This type of integration often involves updating hundreds of millions of customer records. This high volume of activity requires a batch mechanism that is capable of processing large amounts of data in a timely fashion. Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) allows you to schedule a high volume data exchange between a Siebel application and another application when such an exchange is required, and at the required frequency, such as twice a day, nightly, weekly, and so forth.

About the Enterprise Integration Manager

Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) can replicate data between a Siebel application and another system at the database layer. EIM provides high performance to import or export large volumes of data. With EIM, you can import and export data from the Siebel Database to other corporate databases. Figure 14 illustrates EIM data processing for batch. EIM includes database profiling that improves performance by supporting index specialization in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS).
