ETL
IRI RowGen users can generate structurally and referentially correct synthetic test data for an entire database in a single operation. The test data reflects production characteristics (such as values ranges and frequencies) normally encountered in database or ETL operations, but does not require access to, or the masking of, real data.

Test Data
This article explains how to use IRI RowGen to create test files for prototyping COBOL applications running on, or off, the mainframe.
RowGen generates synthetic test data for file, database, and custom report targets. Read More
Data Migration
In the course of legacy platform and/or application migration, COBOL users often need to convert their binary and index files into a human-readable, ASCII-numeric target. One of these older formats is the ACUCOBOL Vision1 file, which we discussed previously in this article. Read More
Big Data
To compete effectively, business users must be able to rapidly produce and present accurate, concise, and compliant information. Whether the analytic discipline is diagnostic, descriptive, predictive, or prescriptive, time-to-visualization matters. Read More
