In addition to all the other structured data sources that IRI software already supports, it is now possible to read, process and write data from and to XLS and XLSX files in the SortCL program central to:
IRI CoSort, for fast sorting, transformation, and reporting IRI NextForm, for mapping, migration, and replication IRI RowGen, for random selection or generation of realistic test data IRI FieldShield, for sensitive data masking IRI Voracity, for all the above, plus ETL, data cleansing, and wrangling for analyticsand to write the resulting data back to those or other targets, including one or more Excel sheets.

Since the advent of automatic tuning in CoSort V10, it has been easier to work with the many available performance settings in CoSort Resource Control (which we call cosortrc or “RC”) files. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
Abstract: It is common practice to mask sensitive production data for non-production purposes. Creating realistic values presents the challenge of handling new values introduced into production data sources and the risk of re-identification. Read More
Data Masking/Protection
One of the data masking requirements for IRI FieldShield that we see in PHI anonymization use cases involves the blurring of dates at the row level, instead of the column level while providing a configurable option to retain the interval between those dates. Read More
