IntegWare BulkLoad Central, version 1.0
|
The BulkLoad Central product from IntegWare offers customers the ability
to automatically load data from a variety of systems into an eMatrix
solution. Unlike many other bulkloaders, this product honors existing
business rules, features full history recording, and can be executed
on a live system.
Loading data into eMatrix from a legacy system (e.g., another PDM,
an ERP/MRP, etc.) can involve numerous issues. Two primary considerations
during any transition are, "how do I keep my existing data", and "how
do I know the data are loaded correctly." This consideration can be
further complicated in the light of regulatory requirements.
The BulkLoad Central product, in conjunction with expert advice from
IntegWare consulting, assists companies in the loading of data into
an eMatrix system. This loading occurs in a manner that honors business
rules, ensures history tracking, and provides full logging and retry
information. In addition, it can be run against a live, production
database. This feature allows companies to either start operation
with only the latest data, and then bulkload older data (thus reducing
the time-to-operation), or can allow for the integration of new business
units into an operating system.
User Benefits
- The data appear in eMatrix as if they had been hand-entered.
- Support for business rules and associated checking.
- Promotion to any valid state.
- History entries in the database.
- Ability to run on a live, production database.
- Graphical interface for ease-of-operation.
- Full error reporting and "retry" system.
- Supports custom schema.
- Allow for creating or updating objects.
- Attaches files to an object.
- Provides visual progress indicators and on-line help.
Technical Requirements
- A supported version of eMatrix.
- Tab separated data input file.
The BulkLoad Central application sends the same get and post transactions
(using the HTTP protocol) as the web-browser with which a user would
interact. As a result, the transactions posted to the eMatrix system
are exactly as if a user had entered them. Business rules and history
recording are processed through this input.
In the face of a transition from a legacy system to an eMatrix system,
data loading can be one of the most difficult and time-consuming requirements.
Regulatory requirements can further limit the solution set that can
be adopted in order to load necessary data. The BulkLoad Central product
can assist in meeting these real start-up and on-going data loading
needs. It does so through its real-time, concurrent loading of data
in a manner than honors existing business rules and history tracking.
