KEY FEATURES Client configuration tool for easy customization of table layout. Dynamic before-and-after images (BI-AI) based on key change. 64-bit clients. • Client-side management console. • Ability to run the client as a service or a daemon. • Multi-threaded clients to increase processing speed. • Support for Windows Server 2012. • Secure automation of Unisys MCP data replication. • Seamless integration of both DMSII and non-DMSII data with Oracle, Microsoft SQL, and other relational databases. • Support for a variety of database client platforms including Windows, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, SUSE Linux, and Red Hat Linux. • Audit mirroring for real-time data recovery. • High-speed file transfer to lower the use of mainframe resources. Extract and Transform MCP Host Data for Improved Analysis and Decision Support Fast, well-informed business decisions require access to your organization’s key performance indicators residing on critical database systems. But the prospect of exposing those systems inevitably raises concerns around security, data integrity, cost, and performance. For organizations using the Unisys ClearPath MCP server and its non-relational DMSII database, there’s an additional challenge: Most business intelligence tools support only relational databases. The Only True ETL Solution for DMSII Data That’s why businesses like yours are turning to Attachmate ® DATABridge ™ . It’s the only true Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) solution that securely integrates Unisys MCP DMSII and non-DMSII data into a secondary system. With DATABridge, you can easily integrate production data into a relational database or another DMSII database located on an entirely different Unisys host system. And because DATABridge clients for Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server support a breadth of operating environments (including Windows 7, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, UNIX, AIX, SUSE Linux, and Red Hat Linux), DATABridge solutions fit seamlessly into your existing infrastructure. Organizational decision making has never been more streamlined and effective. Product Highlights On-the-Fly Integration of DMSII Data Quick access to company data provides a definite competitive edge, but access is often difficult. Furthermore, customized reporting ties up MIS and uses mainframe resources that could otherwise handle transaction processing. Using DATABridge to dynamically integrate DMSII data with a SQL Server or Oracle database, you can provide relational data that can be manipulated more easily and completely— without the drawbacks of customized reporting. Unlike other solutions that support ETL technology via separate modules, DATABridge delivers an entirely cohesive, all-in-one solution
