The technology foundation for Scribe Adapters
and all Scribe integrations and migrations
is Scribe Insight. This powerful, yet flexible
tool incorporates the essential building
blocks to support a wide range of integration
and migration requirements. The three key
components of Scribe Insight are: Scribe
Workbench, Scribe Console, and Scribe Integration
Server.
Scribe Workbench The
Scribe Workbench is a rich graphical environment
in which you can create template files
that define source and target data connections,
data cleansing rules, data mappings, transformation
formulas, and data processing logic. Template
files created by the Scribe Workbench are
reusable, portable, and easily modified.
Lookups - Define exact or "fuzzy" matching
to de-dupe data using multiple fields with
AND/OR logic.
Formulas - Convert data using one or
more of 150 functions for case conversion,
field concatenation or decomposition, calculations,
field parsing, field substitution and conditional
conversion.
Step control - Automatically branch to
different steps to update data, insert
data, stop processing data, or set an error
based on user defined conditions.
Source configuration - Filter data to
be processed based on changes or user defined
criteria.
Custom function creation - Create custom
functions in the form of in-process ActiveX
DLLs written in languages such as VB, Java,
or C++.
Scribe Console The
Scribe Console provides an intuitive user
interface and single point of management
to create, control, and manage key aspects
of any number of data loading or integration
processes.
Event management - Precisely define the
latency for integrations from scheduling
batch processes, to establishing near real-time
polling intervals based on a file drop
or the results of a source-side query,
to real-time processing of messages arriving
in a queue.
Notification - Automate system monitoring
of business level events or integration
errors with configurable alerts via e-mail,
page and net send.
Error and exception handling - Review
execution history of what processes succeeded
or failed including detailed error reporting.
Data views - Get on-screen editable views
of pre-defined queries that can be displayed
in chart or lists format.
Scribe Integration Server
The Scribe Integration Server facilitates
the exchange of data between two or more
applications or databases.
Windows services - Monitor and detect
events, process messages, raise alerts,
and provide an access point for the Scribe
Console to the other services.
Internal database - Store all execution
and error logging, persisted integration
settings, cross reference tables, and important
integration statistics in its own internal
database.
Small footprint - Eliminate the need
for a dedicated server by running Scribe
Insight on one of your application or database
servers.
