There is no direct access to the ORS database (with one exception: charts can be configured to use an application server datasource to fetch report data). The IDD Configuration Manager uses SIF to access metadata about an ORS, but it uses a datasource to directly access the CMX_SYSTEM.C_REPOS_DS_CONFIG table.

Some of the SIF API calls are asynchronous. To enable support for asynchronous SIF calls, row-level locking must be enabled for the ORS that the

Data Director

application uses. For more information, see the section on row-level locking in the

Multidomain MDM Configuration Guide
