Data Migration
In the course of legacy platform and/or application migration, COBOL users often need to convert their binary and index files into a human-readable, ASCII-numeric target. One of these older formats is the ACUCOBOL Vision1 file, which we discussed previously in this article. Read More
Big Data
Introduction: This example demonstrates an older method of using the unstructured data edition of IRI NextForm to extract dark data and prepare it for ingestion in Splunk for indexing and visualization purposes. Read More
Business Intelligence (BI)
In the previous article, “Affordable BIRT Acceleration via CoSort,” we explained the nature and benefits of a new seamless integration between the SortCL big data preparation program in IRI CoSort and thus IRI Voracity and the Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT) in Eclipse. Read More

Master Data Management (MDM) is a strategic enterprise information management (EIM) life cycle initiative designed to foster the consistency and accurate maintenance of master (or reference) data. Read More
Data Migration
In addition to data, indexed files contain information that maps the data to specified key values. This allows the file to be randomly accessed in key order. Read More
Big Data
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
Data Masking/Protection
IRI’s data management tools share a familiar and self-documenting metadata language called SortCL. All these tools — including CoSort, FieldShield, NextForm, and RowGen — require data definition file (DDF) layouts with /FIELD specifications for each data source so you can map your data and manage your metadata.
