“The Customer Intelligence Lifecycle”IRI software

stages, reports and synthesizes

large data volumes outside the database.

FACT, CoSORT, and RowGen leverage the speed and simplicity of

sequential (flat) file processing.

• Rapidly Dumps Table Contents (Extract)– Parallel hints, SQL syntax, flat file results!

• Creates CoSORT/SortCL Metadata (Transform)– Select, join, sort, aggregate, calculate, convert, and re-format

• Creates SQL*Loader Metadata (Load) – Pre-sorted flat files can re-populate Oracle up to 90% faster

• Combine all 3 into 1 Fast E-T-L Pass! Ask for demo

IRI’s FACT extracts

Oracle tables, and creates metadata for

[simultaneous] CoSORT/SortCL transform and

[pre-sorted]SQL*Loader bulk load operations.

All you do is create the FACT

and SortCL E and T config. files, and watch it fly! See demo.

Notes:

1) FACT created this metadata during the Oracle table unload

2) stdin will be the piped input into CoSORT’s SortCL program

3) /FIELD statements define each fixed/floating data column

4) SortCL uses field names for transforms and output remapping

5) Centralized metadata can be (re)used in SortCL & RowGen apps

6) MetaIntegration tool users can also build .ddf’s automatically!

CoSORT (SortCL) Application[cosort@demo example]$ [cosort@demo example]$ cat orders_sorted.sclcat orders_sorted.scl/INFILE=stdin

Notes:

1) All SortCL scripts flow this way: Input Process Output

2) stdin is the piped input from FACT’s table unload

3) /SPEC references /FIELD and other SortCL metadata syntax

4) SortCL can map >1 inputs & formats to >1 outputs & formats

Notes:

1) rm -r stdout.dat clears any same-named prior FIFO buffer

2) mkfifo stdout.dat creates a new FIFO buffer for stdout.dat

3) fact info_file orders.ini creates both metadata and log files

4) fact orders.ini extracts and reformats table data (see .ini file)

5) | sortcl drives FACT-unloaded data into CoSORT (SortCL)

6) & sqlldr is named pipe from CoSORT (SortCL) to SQL*Loader

• Simultaneous, multiple target files in 1 or more formats, featuring:

– Random field values in >100 data types• ASCII upper/lowercase, EBCDIC, COBOL, IP Addresses, Timestamps, etc.

– Popular file formats• CSV, Line / Record / Variable Sequential, MF ISAM, ELF, Unisys VBF, etc.

– Randomly-selected data from real “set” files, incl. DB extracts

– Conditional and duplicate filters + custom output mapping (data segmentation)– Detail records for aggregation, with simultaneous check file(s) created– Sorting, aggregation, and cross-field expressions (vertical and horizontal calcs)– Numeric fields in precisely-defined ranges and layouts

• Multiple record layouts in one or more simultaneous targets– Using same metadata as/for SortCL transforms and reports!

• New target data in the same file format (via random seed values)

• Mixed valid and invalid records (to test app filtering)

• Realistic, structured, fully-custom report formats
