Unisys Data Exchange 5.0: Data Transformation Made Easier

When you use Unisys Data Exchange, you can perform selective and near-real-time data replication and propagation from a source data store to one or more target data stores. As you do, you’ll be able to apply transformations that support business process integration, reporting, big data analytics, and business intelligence activities.

As a result, you’ll increase operational efficiency, avoid the costs inherent in developing and maintaining data integration and transformation tools, and make IT more flexible and responsive to the business’s changing needs.

And with the release of Data Exchange 5.0, we’re extending these benefits by delivering new capabilities that make it easier to transmit, transform, and secure your data.

It’s all made possible by the following key features:

• Apache Kafka integration: By adding this new integration, you can now propagate data to Apache Kafka from Enterprise Server for ClearPath® MCP databases and Relational Database Server for ClearPath OS 2200 databases.
  
• Role-based access control: With the help of the new Data Exchange Management Studio (DEMS), you’ll be able to increase data security by defining and validating your users’ security roles.
  
• Secure data transfers: Support for the TLS protocol in Data Exchange 5.0 means you’ll be able to better secure any data you send via a network connection.
  
• Multi-version support: With the ability to run different versions of the Data Exchange runtime or development workbench in the same environment, you’ll reduce hardware costs, simplify migration between versions, and empower your teams to be more productive.
  
• Transformation creation: By importing existing transformations as new ones – and leveraging several enhancements to the development workbench – you’ll accelerate the process of creating
  new transformations.
  
• Improved error management: You now have the ability to ignore certain target commit errors when running a transformation – without interrupting the transformation.
  
• Transformation flexibility: With Data Exchange 5.0, you can utilize read-only properties for the source, target, or transformation in expressions, extending the business requirements in your transformation definitions.
  
• Performance improvements: With the help of several new performance improvements, you’ll be able to execute data transfers much faster.
  
• Gaiji support: Data Exchange now includes support for any Gaiji characters you may have in your source data stores.
  
• Reduced dependencies: By eliminating Message Queuing and OLEDB as prerequisites, you’ll simplify and accelerate installations.
