DataMirror Unveils Transformation Server 6.0

DataMirror, a provider of real-time data integration and data protection solutions, unveiled DataMirror Transformation Server 6.0.

DataMirror Transformation Server is a high-performance, real-time and bi-directional data integration solution that uses industry-leading, log-based Change Data Capture (CDC) technology to capture changed data from existing database recovery logs, avoiding the overheads and risks associated with trigger-based and table-scan based solutions. Data changes are captured in the source system as they happen and flow immediately to the target database systems or middleware message queues, keeping distributed information up-to-date and in sync.

Transformation Server 6.0 is packed with a number of new features including:

  • Redesigned User Interface - A new intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) makes it easier to create and manage the replication process. With the enhanced Transformation Server 6.0 GUI, users can quickly specify tables for replication, set up data transformations, include custom business logic and monitor replication processes. Monitoring, configuration and control are consolidated in the single GUI.
  • Enhanced Monitoring Features - The new GUI provides a diagram of Transformation Server's replication environment for improved high-level monitoring. Latency statistics and the event log can be accessed directly from the replication diagram for more detailed troubleshooting and easier problem detection and diagnosis. There is no need to open multiple windows or manually create replication diagrams.
  • Improved Change Management - The new promotion wizard in the enhanced GUI lets users automatically promote changes in their Transformation Server replication environment from development to test to production, speeding deployment time and reducing copy-and-paste errors due to manual change promotion. The promotion wizard can also create copies, backups and templates of Transformation Server replication configurations.
  • Character Set and Encoding Support - Transformation Server 6.0 improves support for replication of multi-byte character sets (MBCS) including traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Korean and Japanese. Companies operating in international markets can now use Transformation Server for all of their integration projects between different character encodings, no matter where the data resides. All of the necessary conversions are handled directly within the product.
  • Improved SQL Server Support - Transformation Server 6.0 provides native log-based change data capture (CDC) for Microsoft SQL Server platforms, which improves scalability and reduces latency. New target-side performance enhancements provide greater end-to-end data replication throughput.
