Integration and Provisioning Platform Team Glossary
This glossary page is meant to explain advanced terms used by the Platform Team. If you are a Provisioner user or you want to understand the general concepts of the Witboost Provisioner, we recommend checking out the Provisioner User Glossary instead.
If you're part of the Platform Team, we still encourage going first through the User Glossary as there are concepts a Platform Team member must be familiar as well.
Data Contract Guardian
A data contract guardian is a controller (typically an automated system) that oversees data flows to ensure that defined data contracts are consistently met. On Witboost, Data Contract Guardians are configured as runtime components, deployed via a Tech Adapter that has been configured to support Data Contract Guardians, binding them to a Passive Policy of the Computational Governance to act as receptor of guardian policy evaluations and used by Witboost to generate alerts on data contract compliance errors. For more information on how to configure them check this section of the documentation.
Infrastructure Template ID
The Infrastructure Template ID is an internal ID used by Witboost to uniquely identify a Tech Adapter in the platform. It's different from the Use Case Template ID which identifies the Template that generated a specific entity. The Infrastructure Template ID is stored as part of the entity metadata in order to tell Witboost which Tech Adapter to contact to deploy the component.
Use Case Template ID
The Use Case Template ID is an internal ID used by Witboost to uniquely identify the Template that generated a specific entity. It's different from the Infrastructure Template ID which identify the Tech Adapter that performs the physical integration between Witboost and the Data Plane, which can support different Templates.
