MIIS

Anyone using MIIS, Microsoft Identity Integration Server, for =
replication between Oracle databases.  It appears it works something =
like an ETL in that  you map fields from one database onto fields for =
another.  It also maintains its own database in SQL Server so it can =
perform fast refreshes.  Much like at ETL data is pulled from one =
database and pushed to others.  Unlike an ETL which usually gathers =
infromation from various sources and pushes the data out to a warehouse, =
data can flow in any direction.  Rules in MIIS say who is the =
authorative source for the data and will even revert data back to the =
value found in the authoritative source should that data be changed in =
another database.

I'm not sure how all this works.  Snapshots which we use quite a bit =
here do not provide the same functionality.  Perhaps Advanced Queuing =
comes closer.  Lot's of people like having a centralized place to =
control data distributions which MIIS provides.  I'm a bit leery of =
placcing any dependency on Microsoft.  The product does have momentum.  =
Data protection rules which we were said to be immutable may be changed =
to accommodate this product.

Not to be too negative, the product does fill a need.  I'm looking for =
another answer.
