ODBC gets a bad rap for speed sometimes … but should it? You’d think from what’s posted online that ODBC is intrinsically slow:
Microsoft disagrees in the case of SQL Server. Read More
This article is third in a 3-part series on using IRI products to expand functionality and improve performance in Pentaho systems. We first demonstrate how to improve sorting performance, and then introduce ways to mask production data, and create test data, in the Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) environment. Read More

This article is the first in a 3-part series on using IRI products to expand functionality and improve performance in the Pentaho ETL tool. We first demonstrate data sorting optimization, and then introduce ways to mask PII, and create test data, in the Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) environment. Read More
This article covers COBOL file handling, and more specifically COBOL index file processing using the COBOL file conversion tools available from IRI.
COBOL data management sometimes involves index files in proprietary formats like I-SAM and Vision for COBOL file system optimization. Read More
This article is third in a 3-part series on CLF and ELF web log data. We first introduced CLF and ELF web log formats, then introduced IRI solutions for processing web log data, and here we conclude by masking private data in web log files. Read More
This article is second in a 3-part series on CLF and ELF web log data. We previously explained CLF and ELF web log formats, and now introduce IRI solutions for manipulating and using web log data. Read More
This article is first in a 3-part series on CLF and ELF web log data, where we introduce these file formats. The next article covers IRI solutions for processing web log data, and the last demonstrates web log data masking to protect visitor identities and destinations. Read More
In Working towards Data Quality, we defined data quality (DQ) as a state in which data can be used for operations. What makes the quality of data high is the paucity of errors. Read More
