All About IRI Set Files: A Primer
Introduction: In the context of IRI software, set files are text files containing realistic or replacement values for data management applications in the IRI Voracity platform ecosystem. Read More
Using Ripcurrent for DB Structure Change Reporting
Abstract: This is the final in a series of 4 articles pertaining to IRI Ripcurrent, an IRI-developed command-line Java application that utilizes the Debezium embedded engine and the streaming feature of the IRI (CoSort) SortCL program to react in real-time to database (DB) change events. Read More
Real-Time, Incremental Data Masking
Abstract: The previous article in this series of 4 demonstrated real-time data replication with IRI Ripcurrent, an IRI-developed command-line Java application that utilizes the Debezium embedded engine and the streaming feature of the IRI (CoSort) SortCL program. Read More
Getting Started with IRI Ripcurrent
Abstract: Data collected, processed, and saved across industries is constantly generated and updated. Database (DB) tables can be refreshed with new data from applications or events in intervals as frequent as a fraction of a second. Read More
Mapping DB Data Types
Abstract: The process of transferring data from one database (DB) to another can be complicated when those DBs do not use the same data types. A DB Data Type Mapping wizard is now implemented in IRI Workbench to help solve this problem for SortCL-driven data management jobs with different sources and targets. Read More
Synthesizing Realistic Data in RowGen with Set Files
Abstract: This article demonstrates how to synthesize realistic data to populate a full database schema with referential integrity in one operation via the IRI RowGen New Set File and New Database Test Data Job wizards in IRI Workbench. Read More
Smart, Safe Test Data for DevOps, MLOps and DataOps
Data flowing through application development, machine learning, and analytic pipelines must address several needs common to all three, including:
Realism, to reflect production data characteristics and application test requirements; Compliance, with business and data privacy rules, plus DB and analytic models; Availability, or security, of the data (depending on your perspective); and, Auditability, for lineage and accountability. Read More
Synthesizing Realistic HL7 and X12 Test Data
In this article we will discuss how HL7 and X12 messages are structured, and demonstrate how to use the IRI RowGen test data generation software package to generate realistic messages in those (primarily healthcare-related) EDI file formats. Read More
Generating Test Data in PDF and Image Files
IRI DarkShield has always had the ability to search through and mask Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive data in unstructured sources like PDF documents and image files. Read More
Testing with DB Subsets in a Jenkins CI/CD Pipeline
This Jenkins entry is the fourth in a series of articles on the use of IRI test data management software – that masks, synthesizes, or subsets data – to feed safe, referentially correct test data for DevOps to CI/CD environments. Read More
Generating Test Data for Azure DevOps
This is the third addition to our 4-article DevOps pipeline series. Here are the links to related DevOps articles for Jenkins, GitLab and AWS CodePipeline. Read More
