Synchronous IDMS data replication from a legacy database to virtually any combination of relational databases, regardless of the platform or location.

Fast, automated, reliable data replication

Replication Suite makes virtually any relational database a “home away from home” for mainframe CA-IDMS data. It maps a CA-IDMS database to a relational set of tables using a Windows® GUI tool, defines the relational tables, and then extracts the data from IDMS and loads it into a relational target database, either on IBM® z/OS® or off-platform to any SQL database (i.e. IBM® DB2®, Oracle®, Sybase®, MySQL®, IDMS-R, etc.).

The target database can then be maintained (kept up to date with the source IDMS database) by reloading or using IDMS journal-based change only replication with a frequency from 15 minutes to daily or weekly. There is also a real-time option which allows for sub-second source to target latency. The Replication Suite enables data to be distributed selectively from IDMS for use by Web-enabled, client/server, desktop, mobile, or mainframe applications via a comprehensive set of tools. It is the premier single-vendor solution for fast, automated, reliable data replication.

Features:

  • Provides consistent data in the target tables at all times
  • Transforms, cleanses, and reformats data through user-supplied exits
  • Provides transparent data conversion from IDMS to target table types
  • Maps the IDMS network environment to a fully functional relational environment
  • Loads, updates, and transforms data into more than 80 different formats
  • Performs initial table loads, regardless of the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS)
  • Provides enterprise replication to any number of target RDBMS on any number of platforms, eliminating the cost of buying separate tools for Sybase, Oracle, MS SQL, etc.
