With it grows the demand for products and services that control, manage, and protect the massive amounts of data streaming from all those network-connected devices. Read More
This article covers the creation and use of remote server connections from IRI Workbench so you can run CoSort (Voracity), NextForm, FieldShield, or RowGen scripts on other computers. Read More
In the last couple of years since this article about the use of IRI CoSort as a parallel data manipulation alternative to Hadoop, IRI released the Voracity platform to process big data in either paradigm. Read More
Many of the same data manipulation, masking, and test data generation jobs you can run in IRI Voracity® with the default SortCL program can now also run seamlessly in Hadoop™. Read More
Our first article on data replication in the IRI Workbench GUI for NextForm (DB edition) or Voracity demonstrated how to copy and transform data as it moved from Oracle to two targets. Read More
Among the many database-centric features in IRI Workbench is the ability to create, modify, and execute SQL statements manually or graphically. These “SQL scrap-booking” features are available through the free Data Tools Platform (DTP) plug-in for Eclipse, which also supports IRI job wizards for database:
profiling, searching, classification, E-R diagramming, and integrity checking integration, including ETL, pivoting, slowly changing dimensions, and change data capture column masking, including format-preserving encryption, redaction, and pseudonymization subsetting, test data generation, and bulk loading migration, replication, and offline reorgsTo use the cross-platform(!)
