CONNX data movement and migration

Whenever changes are taking place in the IT infrastructure or application landscape within an organization, there will be a need to move or migrate data among new and existing systems. There can be different scenarios, each requiring a specific set of functionality:

• Migrating a vendor-specific RDBMS to an open-source DBMS, such as Oracle^® to PostgreSQL, IBM^® Informix^® to MySQL^®
• Consolidating a multi-vendor RDBMS to a single or fewer RBDMS, such as Sybase^® to SQL Server^®, Db2^® to Oracle
• Moving data to cloud databases, such as MySQL to Microsoft^® Azure^® SQL Database, Oracle to Amazon^® AWS RDS, SQL Server^® to Amazon REDSHIFT^®
• Providing or extending Extract, Transformation, Load (ETL) capabilities to connect and transform legacy data sources to a data warehouse environment, such as OpenVMS^® Rdb to Teradata^®
• Moving data from transactional databases, such as Adabas, VSAM or IMS, to a big data or data lake environment, such as Hadoop.^®

Standard support

CONNX DB Adapters provide read/write SQL data access supporting ODBC, OLE DB, JDBC^®, J2EE^® and .NET^® technologies.

Comprehensive transformation

SQL-based transformation with a graphical query builder allows comprehensive mappings of tables and fields. In addition, a library of more than 100 transformation functions provides many ways to map the value of a field.

Scheduled and on-demand

Transformation settings give full control of scheduling incremental or full data movements, launching pre- or post-sync tasks, and setting up automatic email event notifications.

Metadata management

Through metadata management, you create a lexicon that combines all your data into a single, comprehensible structure without altering the source structures.

Secure access

CONNX Security is ideally suited to handle cross-platform security issues by managing multiple database logins and securing access to the data in each system.

Data replication

Enhance the CONNX platform with data replication capabilities that allow you to share data in an event-driven way leveraging Change Data Capture (CDC) technology.
