    Hi Sharath,
    as it is said in the documentation: "IBM Tivoli Directory Integrator (referred to as TDI hereafter) is a tool for real time synchronization of repositories of data, with a special focus on identity data, including directories, databases, and operating system repositories." 

    For instance, nowadays, we are using it, apart of in the ISIM adapters, for gathering groups authorisations in RACF and to trigger grants to ISIM roles.

    Hi Felipe ,
    It appears TDI/SDI alike an identity     provisioning system(Identity manager/IAM/ISIM),because ISIM does same exercises like TDI/SDI such as aggregating the HR data ,correlation and provision based on RBAC. Could you psl clarify kindly the difference between TDI vs ISIM? Thanks in advance
