Reference Table Manager (RTM)

29

Role-specific ToolsReference Table Manager (RTM)

• Current Approach

• Reference data used in migration from old to new systems are entered manually

• Business subject matter experts (SMEs) document reference data in spreadsheets

• Challenges

• Costly, labor-intensive to capture, maintain reference data

• Inconsistencies and errors due to manual, decentralized process

• Goal: Bridge the gap between business subject matter experts and IT

30

Role-specific ToolsRTM: Facilitate Collaboration w/ Business Analyst or SME

• An easy-to-use interface for business analysts/SMEs to:• Create, edit and delete reference tables

• Enter reference data, such as valid values, default values, and cross-reference information

• Import and export reference tables as .csv or .xls

• Maintain audit trail documenting the changes to the reference tables

Real-time sessions with EAI

39

Real-time sessions with EAI

• Improved Recovery Mechanism

• The Integration Service writes real-time session recovery information to a queue. The queue helps maintain data integrity during recovery so no data is lost or duplicated. (src : JMS/WebSphere MQ – tgt JMS/WebSphere MQ)

• Partitioning.

• You can add partitions to a real-time session that includes a JMS or WebSphere MQ source and is enabled for recovery.

• Resilience.

• Resilience is available if you have the real-time option.

PowerCenter Transformations

44

PowerCenter Transformations

• HTTP Transformation

• You can let the Integration Service determine the authenticationtype of the HTTP server when the HTTP server does not return an authentication type to the Integration Service. Or, you can specify the authentication type for the Integration Service to use.

• Unstructured Data Transformation

• You can define additional ports and pass output rows to relational targets from the Unstructured Data transformation. You can create ports by populating the transformation from a Data Transformation service. You can pass a dynamic service name to the UnstructuredData transformation with source data.
