Test Data
Unlike the New DB Test Data Job wizard for creating multiple, related test tables, the New Test Data Job wizard in the IRI Workbench GUI for RowGen generates individual test sets. Read More
Data Migration
Note: This article showcases the migration of a relational database (RDB) model to star schema using the Eclipse IDE for the IRI Voracity data management platform (and its included products) called IRI Workbench, following an introduction to both types of schema. Read More
ETL
IRI RowGen users can generate structurally and referentially correct synthetic test data for an entire database in a single operation. The test data reflects production characteristics (such as values ranges and frequencies) normally encountered in database or ETL operations, but does not require access to, or the masking of, real data.

This article explains how to use IRI RowGen to create test files for prototyping COBOL applications running on, or off, the mainframe.
RowGen generates synthetic test data for file, database, and custom report targets. Read More
Test Data
One of the ways IRI RowGen builds realistic test data is through the formation and population of custom field values, such as phone numbers. In this article, we explain how to use the Compound Data Value (CDV) wizard in the RowGen GUI to build a set file containing real-looking, US phone numbers based on the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).

Test Data
XML is a popular file format because of its value in data interchange. For this reason, XML test data generation can be an important part of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), particularly for those applications which need to process XML data. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
Introduction: As with multiple BI platforms discussed throughout this section of the IRI blog site, this article analyzes the relative data preparation performance (and benefit) of using its external data wrangling engine – via the IRI CoSort product or Voracity platform — with QlikView when ‘big data’ sources are involved.

The Opening Question
ODBC gets a bad rap for speed sometimes … but should it? You’d think from what’s posted online that ODBC is intrinsically slow:
Microsoft disagrees in the case of SQL Server. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
This article is third in a 3-part series on CLF and ELF web log data. We first introduced CLF and ELF web log formats, then introduced IRI solutions for processing web log data, and here we conclude by masking private data in web log files. Read More
