Integration Overview

UCMDB-Troux integration consists of two independent, bi-directional parts: the Troux Push Adapter, and the Troux Population Adapter.

  • The Troux Push Adapter in UCMDB replicates CIs and relationships to Troux. The Troux Push Adapter is necessary to achieve both the Technology Standards Assessment and Business Impact Analysis use cases discussed in the introduction above. The adapter also allows the user to push to Troux CIs that are aged out of UCMDB or deleted.

  • The Troux Population Adapter pulls CIs and relationships from Troux to UCMDB. It is necessary only for the Business Impact Analysis use-case.

Data transfer occurs using XML files between configured directories. Mapping files are used to apply conversion from TUX format to UCMDB and vice versa.
