Yes; that is the way our product suite was designed. When bundled together, they are highly complementary and supported by our in-house team members. Several customers leverage our connectors in conjunction with our CDC component for real-time, bi-directional integration capabilities.

Absolutely. Our service team is here to assist with product configuration and first use case implementation. We can also help define tables, perform full installation of the product in sandbox or non-production environments, and configure corresponding connectors to ensure everything works from the IBM i perspective.

Compatible with both RPG and COBOL, our connectors use native IBM i libraries and low-level socket integration (cloud or on-premise) to call backend programs directly.

Many of our customers deal with large peak volumes and process hundreds or thousands of transactions per second leveraging our connector. The throughput of the product depends on several factors including (but not limited to) application design, connection speed between your platform and IBM i (AS/400) servers, and the number of connections in the connection pool.

Each OS update released by IBM is tested internally by our product engineering team to ensure compatibility. As of today, our connectors are compatible with IBM i OS 5.4 and higher.

Time stamps are not required, as the product does not poll periodically based on time stamps. infoCDC connects directly into Db2 journals, almost like how Kafka persistently logs data and events: whenever a change happens, one or more entries are pushed into a journal that is immediately made available for a process on our end.

The product supports multiple tables and journals. infoCDC has one listener job per journal, with multiple tables that could be configured per journal and processed by a single job, making it rather lightweight and easy on the system. Generally, there’s no hard limit on the number of tables or journals that it can process simultaneously.

No! You can implement our products on any number of environments, with no restriction on the number of logical partitions.

Impact analysis involves detecting and evaluating the positive and negative effects of a change or event on an application, system, or environment. It helps in planning effectively and making informed decisions to ensure smooth transitions and risk mitigation during changes.

Traditionally, impact analysis is a manual, time consuming process of tracing relationships between programs, files, fields, and variables. Additionally, it involves scoping the change, identifying potential impacts, evaluating those impacts, and developing mitigation strategies. Due to its manual nature, this process often poses critical challenges for architects, developers, and professionals.

IBM i systems comprise thousands of interconnected components and little documentation. While performing impact analysis on these systems, professionals face difficulty in identifying affected components accurately, understanding the extent of changes, and managing time and resources. Additionally, professionals struggle to meet the evolving nature of requirements, keep up with new technologies, and collaborate effectively with other team members.
