ETL
In addition to running IRI software from the command line, in batch scripts, DBMS schedulers like Oracle’s, or through third-party workflow automation suites like Stonebranch Universal Controller, the IRI Workbench development environment now has a built-in job scheduler. Read More
Data Migration
A DSN (database source name) file allows multiple users to connect to a database with information in a flat file. It is used by the database client program — in this case, software in the IRI Workbench — to connect to a database. Read More
Data Transformation
Beyond the client-side task launch scheduler provided in the IRI Workbench graphical IDE for Voracity™ ETL and sub-product users, server-side IRI job scheduling is also possible in simple tools like cron, and more advanced workflow automation suites like StoneBranch Universal Automation Center™ (UAC), CA Autosys, Cisco TES, IBM Tivoli, and ASC ActiveBatch.

During the design of IRI Voracity workflows in the IRI Workbench (Eclipse) GUI, you can preview the results of one or more transforms before saving or running the project. Read More
Big Data
Note: This example demonstrates a more direct method of using IRI FieldShield or IRI Voracity to statically mask PII within structured MongoDB collections. Our older how-to-article on indirect data masking of MongoDB through export/mask/import from 2015 is here, and a newer method through MongoDB’s native driver support in CoSort v10 from 2018 is here.
