IRI RowGen Features + Benefits

IRI RowGen is superior standalone solution software for multi-target test data creation and management, and an included component of the IRI Voracity total data management platform. The core strengths in RowGen are speed in volume, data privacy law compliance, functional versatility, and test data realism. Following are the basic features and functions in RowGen, which when used in Voracity, can also be combined with other test data generation and provisioning techniques.

Fast generation of billions of sorted rows


Create data for full VLDB, EDW, and ODS testing.

Random data generation purely from metadata


Reduce complexity and risk from production data.

Random selection of real data for testing


Enhance realism while still de-identifying PII.

Easy-to-use 4GL and Eclipse™ IDE with wizards


Low learning curve via graphical, automated job design.

Generation metadata serialized in text scripts


Jobs are easy to modify, deploy, and reuse.

Parses DB DDL and/or DDF metadata


Reduce errors and preserve metadata investment.

Preserves referential integrity


Test data reflects production database/query behavior.

CoSort engine inside


Simultaneous transformation, pre-sorting, report/format.

Custom data formats, value ranges, report formats


Enhance realism while testing applications.

G/UUID, NID, and CCN generation


Immediately available, computationally valid values.

A deeper drive into the technical aspects of RowGen will reveal these attributes:

Multi-Source


Mix and match real data with randomly generated data, using multiple selection criteria and > 120 different data types.

Multi-Target


Create many test (output) tables and/or files simultaneously and target your apps, BI simulations, and bulk loads (automatically).

Model-Driven


Leverage your existing DDL information to populate structurally and referentially correct test databases and data warehouses.

Multi-Format


Build test data directly in your field (e.g., phone, date, SSN), report and flat-file formats (e.g., COBOL, CSV, LDIF, web log, XML, line/record/variable sequential).

Multi-Function


Manipulate and format test data while it generates with: sorting; aggregation; custom filters (for subsetting), layouts, and transforms; page/report formatting; EVs, etc.

Multi-Range


Express or select from any set of real data, numeric range, or distribution of values (linear, normal, percent, custom).

Multi-Level


Populate test data directly into custom-formatted detail and summary (drill-down and roll-up) reports that can operate on the test values.

Multi-Platform


Run RowGen on any current Unix, Linux, and Windows platform to use the power of your hardware and test data where you need it.

Multi-Metadata


Use the data layouts already defined in CSV headers, COBOL copybooks, SQL*Loader control files, ELF web logs, and MIMB-supported platforms.

Multi-Purpose


Deploy RowGen for application development and stress-testing, DB population, ETL prototyping, outsourcing, benchmarking, etc.

Multi-Partner


Benefit from IRI's technical alliances with the leading hardware, database, data integration, BI application, and metadata vendors, which empower RowGen even more.
