Abstract: A master dynamic configuration directory can store connection strings and data adapters for data entities based on a routing identifier and a business entity identifier. The information can be stored in multiple data stores, each of which can have a different data type. A data request from a requesting entity comprises a routing identifier and a business entity identifier. A system application can receive a data request and can access the local instance of the dynamic configuration directory to determine the corresponding connection string and data adapter based on the routing identifier and business entity identifier in the data request. The system sub-application creates a data access instance based on the connection string and data adapter. The system application loads the data access instance to access the data entity at the appropriate location and to perform a data function according to the data request.
