Can Global IDs scan different data sources such as RDBMS, Files, XML, Unstructured data etc. and store key attributes?
Does the tool support automated discovery and acquisition of metadata from data sources, applications and other tools?
Does the tool provide connectivity and native access to data stored in non-relational structures?
Does the tool follow data capture process? How is it set up, run and monitored? Can data capture processes be run against production, test, shadow files etc.?
Can the tool capture and store data from multiple databases at the same time? Can multiple data capture processes be run at the same time or must they be single threaded?
Does Global IDs have the ability to access semi-structured data, such as e-mail, Web sites, office productivity tools and content repositories?
Does the tool have the ability to interact with services repositories and registries?
Does the tool interface with other metadata repositories/tools for data definitions and other associated data?
Can Global IDs scan different data sources such as RDBMS, Files, XML, Unstructured data etc. and store key attributes?
Yes. The Global IDs Product Suite can scan and profile multiple types of data assets including –
- Structured Data – Networked Databases like Oracle, Sybase, MySQL etc.
- Structured Data – Desktop Databases MS Access.
- Structured Data – File Data (fixed length and delimited)
- Semi-Structured Data – Email Databases like MS Outlook, Lotus Domino
- Semi-Structured Data – Spreadsheets like MS Excel
- Unstructured Data – Desktop File systems (containing text, MS Office files, Adobe PDF etc).
- Hierarchical Data – XML Data (with associated XSDs)
- Web Data – HTML Data (from intranets and extranets)
- Stored Procedures – In Structured Databases (like Oracle, Sybase etc.)
- Program Code – In multiple languages (like Java, C++)
- Time-Series Data – In Market Data Formats (Haver, Reuters, IDC etc.)
Does the tool support automated discovery and acquisition of metadata from data sources, applications and other tools?
Yes. We have a large number of scanners, and can extract different types of metadata from structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data assets.
Does the tool provide connectivity and native access to data stored in non-relational structures?
Yes. It is somewhat dependent on exact configuration of Legacy Database. As long as the database can be interrogated by Java, we already have and will have a scanner for the Data Source.
Does the tool follow data capture process? How it is set up, run and monitored? Can data capture processes be run against production, test, shadow files etc.?
Yes. The software is given access to the data sources, and workflow processes are initiated. Each workflow carries out thousands of tasks and returns the results. Data discovery tasks can be run against production, test and shadow files.
Can the tool capture and store data from multiple databases at the same time? Can multiple data capture processes be run at the same time or must they be single threaded?
Yes. The software is designed to run in a parallel manner. Multiple parallel processes can be run on multiple databases, using multiple workflows, all running simultaneously.
Does Global IDs have the ability to access semi-structured data, such as e-mail, Web sites, office productivity tools and content repositories?
Yes. We have scanners for Email (Outlook, Lotus), Content Repositories (Sharepoint, Documentum) WebSites, PDF, Office Docs (Word, PPT, and Excel).
Does the tool have the ability to interact with services repositories and registries?
Yes. We can currently scan WSDL registries.
Does the tool interface with other metadata repositories/tools for data definitions and other associated data?
Yes. We are able to import metadata from other repositories that support XMI. In addition, metadata can also be imported using Excel.
