SortCL is routinely used to:

  • Filter, integrate, and stage large data sets
  • Transform and remap data in files and tables
  • Feed data to BI tools and speed ETL tools
  • Find, cleanse, enrich, group and standardize data
  • Generate reports or populate analytic platforms
  • Detect, capture, and audit changed data
  • Migrate legacy sorts, file formats, and data types
  • Relieve application and system overhead
  • Accelerate bulk DB loads (thus reorgs and queries, too)
  • Mask and encrypt columns/fields and records/rows
  • Create test data in production formats from scratch

Case studies in the use of SortCL are in reviews of IRI CoSort; SortCL is CoSort's primary engine and UI. As such it is also the foundational program in the IRI Voracity data management platform for data mapping and transformation in: ETL operations, change data capture, data migration and replication, slowly changing dimensions, analytics, etc.
