You can generate SIF API for specific repository objects in an Operational Reference Store (ORS), such as base objects, packages, and cleanse functions. Use the SIF Manager utility in the
Hub Console
to generate an ORS-specific SIF API.
An ORS-specific SIF API acts on specific ORS objects. For example, an ORS-specific SIF API identifies data as a name and an email address and adds the data into a customer record, as defined in the ORS. A SIF API might place the same data in the database record that you specify.
You can use the SIF SDK to access the ORS-specific SIF API through the client JAR file or use the ORS-specific SIF API as SOAP web services. If you use the SIF SDK, install the Java Development Kit and the Apache Ant build system.
When you generate an ORS-specific SIF API, the performance of SIF API generation depends on the number of objects that you select, so select only the objects for which you want to generate the SIF API. The
MDM Hub
creates a unique version ID for an ORS-specific SIF API.
The
MDM Hub
generates an ORS-specific SIF API only for the repository objects that are secure.
