The LS Data Director (DD) is a product of LS Retail ehf. and is closely tied to LS Central and the company's POS point-of-sale application. The Data Director plays an integral part in enabling the system to function as a whole in a distributed environment.
The Data Director is an application specialized in moving data between databases in a fast and efficient way. It works intimately with the Microsoft Business Central platform, but it is not limited to that platform. It can just as easily move data between other databases, such as MS SQL Server and MySQL. Generally, if the database supports the Microsoft OleDB or ODBC interface, the Data Director should be able to use it.
The Data Director is a flexible tool that can be adapted to a variety of data transfer scenarios. The most commonly used configurations are for:
- Moving data between the head-office, stores, and POS terminals in a Business Central based retail organization.
- Moving data from Business Central based databases into a data warehouse running on Microsoft SQL Server.
