Data Masking/Protection
This article looks at sets from an informational processing perspective; what they are; how they are constructed; and, distinct ways in which data can be drawn from sets within IRI software products using the SortCL data definition and processing program; i.e., Read More

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 Migration
Data and database migration are key considerations for any system implementation, upgrade, or consolidation. Data migration happens for many reasons, like appliance upgrades or enhancements, server maintenance, or data center relocation. Read More
Big Data
One of the best ways to speed up big data processing operations is to not process so much data in the first place; i.e. to eliminate unnecessary data ahead of time. Read More
IRI Business
IRI Workbench is a powerful, and free integrated development environment (IDE) built on Eclipse designed for the user-friendly creation, management, and deployment of jobs in most IRI software products. Read More
Data Migration
Data migration is done using NextForm; IRI’s data migration utility for converting large files into different formats and/or translating field-level data into other types. The current version converts between uniform XML and text files, LDIF and CSV, Vision and ISAM, MF COBOL variable-length files and Excel, etc. Read More
