 Those that are polling or polling every five minutes are an acceptable form of data integration. But a second path that we use is Informatica, an ETL tool. So the main thing that's that's used for is for developers in the group that runs people soft to write queries,
 and then either push those out the different locations, or create apis in informatica for people to retrieve data without having direct database access.

 So the developers in relation to group or do a fair amount of querying of things in those databases, and then pushing information into grouper for a couple of use cases i'll talk a little bit more about.
-And then lastly, I I would, I should mention. Is it near real time for those other integrations. In the case of the informatic etls, it's really up to the developer. Most of those are things that run on kind of a daily cycle. But,,, the developer in informatic that has the capability to schedule things as often as they want them to run. It really is up to them.

 The business logic to publish those into reasonable affiliations happens inside Directory Manager. The Directory manager also does those SOAP queries that I mentioned. So that's the direction we decided to go with for

 for any new jobs and associations that are available. And then also, once a week, has so pinpoint that a call and say, Okay, cycle through and give me everybody so that it can do a full synchronization.
 And then there's just a very simple query over to Peoplesoft finance, really. Only thing that I am cares about from
-our finance installation is what are the department names? So it gets nbers department nbers that are associated with jobs or associations or student status.

 And then Directory manager is responsible for essentially has its own open ldap instance running kind of locally to that application, and then we use the built-in open all that sync where to? To? To to that out to our our large open
 installation, and then finally, That's where Grouper can run. It's loader jobs and retrieve things from Ldap. So just like we run loader jobs for databases. We've got these that run directly against our open laptop installation, and that gives group or,

+The second flow that we have I mentioned informatica,
 and it's doing sql queries into any of the big towers along with some other data sources. Honestly, it's just here we're We're concerned about Peoplesoft
 and then informatica has the capability to
 push those in the group or via the group or web services. So a lot of the roles that are people solve security folks create are useful in other applications besides just inside people's, so they they function. As for
 proxies to other data that people might have access to because of the roles that they have. And and one of the Peoplesoft powers. So, for example, they can go to a data warehouse.
+
  and instead of having a separate role structure for the data warehouse the people self-security folks would rather just replicate those roles that they have, and people solve the Grouper, and then ! It can be queried, or L. That can be queried
 to retrieve that information about those roles. We also do use this for some special group that our Hcm. People need to keep track of, anyway. So an example that I off the top of my head is who's in a hipaa-related department? So are you in a hip a covered entity?
 ! Because there's a nber of of things that want to know that, for example, our our zoom installation needs to know if you're if or not, because it turns on and off. You know, certain capabilities inside of zoom

Or is it the other way?

 I I I usually debated which way to point these arrows, but this is our sql query, so informatic that is, reaching out to the Peoplesoft hours, The Nsql query and pulling data back. I see.
