The Utopian “E” Convergence - EAI, EII, ETL, MOM, B2Bi, BPM, B2B Gateway, BPI, IDM, MDM,…
All the Enterprise Information Management and Integration applications and approaches coming under one roof!
EAI, EII, ETL, MOM, B2Bi, BPM, B2B Gateway, BPI, IDM, MDM,… before anyone comes up with another acronym and glorifies how effective and important it is, there is a natural happening - An evolution of all the above into a utopian convergence of all the Enterprise Information Management and Integration applications and approaches.
The evolution is here!
1970’s were about simple, manual integration
1980’s were about distributed computing
1990s and early 21st century were about packaged enterprise applications. We saw new concepts, technologies, internet-based computing and tools that increased automation. We saw all the acronyms specified earlier and more emerging. Some made a mark and some didn’t.
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) emerges with the punch line “Let us unite everything everywhere and orchestrate them as services”. It applies successful concepts from the past like Object Oriented development, Component Based Design and Enterprise Application Integration technology to an architectural approach for IT system integration.
Extraction from HiPortfolio using DRO
DRO - Data Retrieval Objects (Also known as Data Reporting Objects) - A much awaited module from HiPortfolio was launched from HiPortfolio/3 3v3 onwards to provide more openness and easier retrieval of data into management reports from HiPortfolio.
Before we proceed, for those who do not know about Hiportfolio and DSTi take a look at the following bullet points:
- DST International (DSTi) is a market leader in asset management technology.
- HiPortfolio/3 is DSTi’s strategic back office, multi-currency, investment accounting, portfolio management and asset servicing application. It is the most widely used system in the Third Party Administration market around the globe.
- HiPortfolio/3 is built on a modular basis and due to its flexible nature and comprehensive range of instruments and functionality it can be deployed locally or globally to cover different types of business requirements on a single platform. It is made up of over 150 individual modules, each of which provides processing support for a specific category of investment instrument or business function.
Performance Improvement Techniques in DataStage
I have come up with two set of superb documents on performance tuning:
1) DataStage Enterprise Edition (PX – Parallel Extender)
These documents are a result of experience gained across numerous successful deployments. It presents a practical handbook for performance improvement techniques which can be used for ETL architecture, job design and development as well as for review, analysis and performance optimization.
