DataDios SmartDiff

SmartDiff showcases the differences with data, metadata and products enabled via a comprehensive dashboard validation view. With a balanced, multi-cloud strategy that encompasses a blend of  private, public, and hybrid cloud environments, you are better positioned  to solve traditional problems. That’s where DataDios SmartDiff comes in – ensuring an easy, efficient and secure way to validate migrated data across private and public cloud platforms. Built on Root cause Analysis, Clustering and Data Transformation architecture, DataDios SmartDiff enables automated Data Validation Post Migrations, Cause analysis and Revealing the patterns. DataDios SmartDiff allows application of  data Transformation rule on data to eliminate the need to learn and play for multiple standalone tools.

We provide a single dashboard to perform data diff, metadata diff and products diff irrespective of: 

• Source being on cloud or on-premise
• SQL or No-SQL databases
• File formats(xml, json, parquet, csv, datasets, hashed file and others)
• Services and Products like IGC, IBM Knowledge Catalog, MDM, DataStage (Datasets/Hashed Files), Collibra and others
• Cloud storages like AWS S3, Google Big bucket, Microsoft Azure storage, IBM storage and others
• IBM OEM Partners MongoDB, EDB, Singlestore, Datastax and Cloudera

DataDios SmartDiff quickly and easily validates data and identifies issues and patterns for various data sources. With a low-cost, easy to use, and installed anywhere, you can complete your migration projects on time and  under budget.

DataDios Metadata Synchronization

Metadata Sync automates synchronization between multiple Governance products, between sources on cloud or on-prem, between different types of data sources and between any cloud asset, with automated validation and report generation. This  is a powerful feature in DataDios to help users verify if the Metadata in target is in sync with the source. Metadata Sync works with databases as well as with Data Governance services.

Metadata synchronization is crucial to database migrations projects and to keep governance systems in sync. Most governance tools are generally limited to export and import of Metadata.

Some of the salient features include:

• Synchronization between multiple Governance products (Assets, Artifacts, Relationships and others) such as Collibra and IBM Knowledge Catalog or Apache Atlas and IBM Knowledge Catalog
• Synchronization between sources being on cloud or on-premise
• Synchronization between any two data sources such as Oracle to Snowflake or Teradata to AWS Redshift
• Synchronization between cloud assets
• Synchronize cloud assets (AWS, GCP) into IBM Knowledge Catalog and/or Atlas
• Synchronization using any of the methods like full refresh and delta refresh
• Historical synchronization view and generate version reports
• Visualize incremental differences in metadata
• Automated validation(diff) metadata between source and target

With DataDios Metadata Sync, you can easily migrate metadata and synchronize differences without the hassle of re importing data. It can identify and make the delta changes in target

Metadata Sync keeps a log of each synchronization update making it easier to track and review the updates made on any date time.

DataDios S2P/P2P

Manual rewrite of DataStage jobs and UV functions during migration or upgrade requires huge effort, Universe skills, longer project timeline, significant cost and risk. DataDios Server to Parallel (S2P) and Parallel to Parallel (P2P) automates this and makes it happen in an accelerated timeline.

DataDios S2P and P2P accelerates job conversion by running automated conversion workflows ensuring data integrity & quality. Automation provides significant savings on effort and cost. Manual rewriting of ETL programs requires huge effort, longer project timeline, significant cost and risk. The automation takes the guesswork away and significantly reduces the project time

Steps for an on-prem to cloud migration:

• • Download the current DataStage jobs from the legacy DataStage environment that is pointing to existing on-premises data sources.
  • Import the DataStage files into the DataDios® Cloud Accelerator application.
  • Now run the conversion. DataDios prepares the migration job files by replacing existing targets with the new target.

The benefits of this approach: 

• • Automated Assessment of the DataStage jobs for conversion and providing in-depth Insights
  • Automated conversion of jobs using web browser
  • Auto conversion of UV artifacts (server job, server routines & others) happens for at least 85%
  • Automated data validation to compare input and output jobs.
  • Automated conversion provides significant savings on effort and cost.
