Configure the base objects and packages of the

Operational Reference Store

before you generate ORS-specific APIs. The ORS-specific APIs are available with SiperianClient through the client JAR file and as a web service. When you generate ORS-specific APIs the

MDM Hub

associates a version ID with the ORS-specific APIs client JAR file.

ORS-specific APIs act on specific

Operational Reference Store

objects. For example, a generic API might place data in the database record that you specify. An ORS-specific API identifies the same data as a name and an email address and places those fields into a customer record, as defined in the

Operational Reference Store

.

Use the ORS-specific APIs through the

Services Integration Framework

(

SIF

) SDK or as a SOAP web service. If you use the SIF SDK, you need to install the Java Development Kit and the Apache Jakarta Ant build system.
