The IRI Workbench GUI
Added value through free and commercial Eclipse extensions
One of the most powerful aspects of the IRI Workbench GUI is that it is based on Eclipse™ based
The Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) offers users of IRI products:
- A familiar, common user interface and a shared metadata, job and workflow management system
- The ability to combine products purposefully (e.g. Offline Reorg Wizard)
- Direct browsing and movement of data for local and remote files and DBs as well as HDFS
- Ergonomic features such as perspective control and text search (e.g. for metadata impact analysis)
- Plug-in interactions for BI/analytics (e.g. BIRT and KNIME), metadata management, data modeling, etc.
- Access to Hadoop (HDFS), mainframe, semi-structured and unstructured data sources
- The ability to use Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) modules from vendors such as WSO2
So many possibilities!
The Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) plug-in, for example, gives IRI software users the ability to browse and edit your source and target databases at will:
- Bulk unloading with FACT, and selection/filtering in CoSort/SortCL or in SQL
- in the Voracity integrate ETL operations (transform, map, cleanse, unify or segment).
- Bulk load or insert/update of presorted data with CoSort
- mask PII with FieldShield or DarkShield
- Tables with NextForm migrate
- Test tables with RowGen generate
- code and SQLOperations run
In the same GUI, the results of Voracity, CoSort and other IRI jobs can support advanced data visualization plug-ins such as BIRT:
