What is the architecture of Data Manager?

Assets Data Manager contains components on your network and in the cloud:

• Source Data - information from products or files stored on your local network, behind the firewall.

• Local Server - the Data Manager Adapters Client runs on your local server, behind the firewall, and uploads information into Data Manager from your products or files.

• Assets - Assets is a cloud-based feature set within Jira Service Management. It includes both Data Manager and Schemas:

  • Data Manager - Once your data is uploaded using the Adapters Client, you can modify, cleanse, and reconcile this data to make it clean, current, and correct. Data Manager has three different sections:

    • Adapters - the Adapters section allows you to configure how you bring your data in. You can also create and modify Transform Functions here, which allow you to automatically change the raw data as it’s brought into Data Manager.

    • Cleanse and Import - the Cleanse and Import section allows you Cleanse data, by removing unwanted records, and Import data to create Data Manager Objects that contain the most trustworthy information from multiple data sources.

    • Analysis - the Analysis section allows you create Advanced Searches to filter your data, and Dashboards to display the results visually. You can also export your data to use in Schemas.

  • Schemas - After you have Cleansed and Imported your data, you can bring your Data Manager Objects into Assets Schemas and convert them into Assets Objects. From Schemas, you can bring information back into Data Manager by using Schema Adapter Client.
