The key concept of Directory Integrator is the assembly line construct, and<br />

multiple assembly lines may be used. Each assembly line can consist of multiple<br />

inputs or multiple outputs, or both, as seen in the simple data flow diagram in<br />

Figure 8-6.<br />

Figure 8-6 Directory Integrator assembly line data flow<br />

Here you see the third data source (DS3) getting data from an initial data source<br />

(DS1). Along the way, the dataflow also aggregates information from a second<br />

data source (DS2). In Directory Integrator terminology, such a data flow is<br />

referred to as an “assembly line.”<br />

It’s important to understand that each assembly line implements a single<br />

uni-directional data flow. If you wish to do bi-directional synchronization between<br />

two or more data sources, then you must use a separate assembly line for<br />

handling the flow in each direction, as depicted in Figure 8-7 on page 335. The
