Ivory provides real-time Change Data Capture 

The mainframe is just one critical piece of an IT architecture that contains multiple application systems and databases. The demand for information continues to grow and has now been extended to include the real-time exchange of data between the mainframe and open systems data sources. Having "real-time" synchronization of disparate sources creates a challenge to IT resources and technologies.

Ivory's Change Data Capture (CDC) technology identifies the changes made to mainframe databases by production application systems automatically. The changed data is then automatically propagated in the desired target open systems database. Because only changed data is processed and moved, and because the setup does not require any programming, the time to implement CDC is reduced significantly.  

Features include:

  • Support for DB2, IMS, CA IDMS, CA Datacom, DL/I, VSAM, Sequential files, Oracle, SQL Server, ODBC, and more
  • Automatic data mapping
  • Automatic identification of changes in mainframe databases and files without programming
  • Automatic conversion and transfer of the changed data to the taget systems
  • Scheduling functions for transfers in real-time and based on interval and events
  • Management and control mechanisms and auditing functions
  • Powerful bulk processors to efficiently transfer mass data
