OVERVIEW
Accurate business data is crucial for successful business operations. If production data is inaccurate or comprehensive test data cannot be created easily during the development lifecycle, applications may fail and business revenues could be affected.
InSync® is a comprehensive file and data management product designed to provide fast and easy access to business data from multiple sources, including Db2 and IMS databases and WebSphere MQ.
Mainframe data can be copied and reformatted to match new layouts or to create files in a wide range of formats, including CSV, XML and JSON, for use in a non-mainframe environment.
To protect sensitive data, such as personal information, it can be automatically altered and anonymized when copying production files to development and testing environments.
Large volumes of realistic test data can be generated automatically using randomization or specific rules. This approach reduces effort, ensures that the data is suitable for all test scenarios, and avoids the use of real production data.
