SortCL is routinely used to:
- Filter, integrate, and stage large data sets
- Transform and remap data in files and tables
- Feed data to BI tools and speed ETL tools
- Find, cleanse, enrich, group and standardize data
- Generate reports or populate analytic platforms
- Detect, capture, and audit changed data
- Migrate legacy sorts, file formats, and data types
- Relieve application and system overhead
- Accelerate bulk DB loads (thus reorgs and queries, too)
- Mask and encrypt columns/fields and records/rows
- Create test data in production formats from scratch
Case studies in the use of SortCL are in reviews of IRI CoSort; SortCL is CoSort's primary engine and UI. As such it is also the foundational program in the IRI Voracity data management platform for data mapping and transformation in: ETL operations, change data capture, data migration and replication, slowly changing dimensions, analytics, etc.
