What can Aida Acquire?
Aida discovers how to acquire a given “name”, such as “BPMS:PR02:8012//twiss” by looking in an Oracle database. The database tells it which Aida Data Provder (DP) server is responsible for the name, plus a number of other details such as “what to actually ask the server for”. A full explanation of the database is given in the Aida Directory Service Database Guide (a Word document), in particular the Entity Relation Diagram of the Directory Service Schema (pdf).
