1.8 The Integration Architecture
1.8 The Integration Architecture
The tools layer incorporates a set of tools management services with the CASE
tools themselves.
Tools management services (TMS) control the behavior of tools within the
environment. If multitasking is used during the execution of one or more tools,
TMS performs multitask synchronization and communication, coordinates the flow
of information from the repository and object management system into the tools,
accomplishes security and auditing functions, and collects metrics on tool usage.
The shared repository layer is the CASE database and the access control functions
that enable the object management layer to interact with the database. Data
integration is achieved by the object management and shared repository.
