The Semarchy xDM architecture includes:

  • The Semarchy xDM server, a Java EE application deployed and running in an application server. This application serves:

    • The Application Builder, Dashboard Builder, Workflow Builder, Discovery, and Configuration user interfaces: these web applications are used by designers and administrators to create, manage and administer the models and applications designed in Semarchy xDM.

    • Data management applications and dashboard applications: these web applications are used by business users to browse and manage data and visualize metrics dashboards.

    • A REST API to programmatically perform data integration, management and administrative operations.

This includes data models as well as the data management and dashboard applications' definition, Discovery datasources, and profiles. The repository is hosted in a database schema. A given Semarchy xDM server is always attached to a single repository.
