Kourier Integrator for U2 1.8 Available

Kore Technologies has announced Release 1.8 of its enterprise integration suite, which provides Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) capabilities for connecting IBM U2 applications to Microsoft SQL Server and other Best-in-Class applications.

The new version of Kourier Integrator for U2 and SQL Accelerator offers many new features plus significant enhancements to Kore's "Net Change" technology, which enables near real-time data integration, high performance and scalability. The Net Change system has been extended to support applications that delete items in the UniData/UniVerse database and also to support distributed files on UniVerse systems.

With the addition of support for deleted items in Net Change, it is no longer necessary to do periodic full data refreshes when synchronizing data with an external system or database (e.g., a data warehouse). This will substantially improve overall system performance by eliminating redundant data transfer, saving time and resulting in faster data updates. The support for Net Change with distributed files in UniVerse will provide similar performance benefits for users leveraging this file type to manage large UniVerse files with their application.

Other key enhancements in the new release include:

  • Concurrency control and binary transfer for FTP messages
  • Enhanced Quick Start tools that simplify and expedite new integration projects
  • New utilities for packaging and deploying a "suitcase" of integration components
  • Support for 32-bit and 64-bit versions of SQL 2005 and Microsoft Windows

"This release is significant because we have removed the need to do full data refreshes just because data has been deleted on the U2 system. Many of our clients use applications that actually delete data (instead of setting an inactive status code for example) which posed an integration challenge." said Mark Dobransky, managing partner of Kore Technologies . "With our new Net Change functionality this is no longer an issue. Implementing a data warehouse or system integration is much simpler now because the only time we need to think about doing a full data refresh is if the data model changes."
