SOFTWARE ENABLES ANALYSTS TO CONSTRUCT COMPLETE DATA SOURCES.Evoke Software(R) Corp., a provider of Data Profiling software, has introduced its updated version of Evoke Axio(TM), Evoke's comprehensive Data Profiling product suite. Evoke Axio release 4.2 delivers improved performance, new features, and easier integration with leading third-party offerings. Successful IT initiatives and enterprise applications are dependent upon the system developers and data modelers having an accurate understanding of the source data systems they are attempting to use. Before Evoke software was available, data analysts had to manually construct an understanding of existing databases and data sources, often relying on misunderstood or out-dated metadata. This misunderstanding leads to surprises along the implementation and data integration path, and re-work along the way to investigate and repair problems. With Evoke software, data analysts can construct a complete and accurate understanding of their data sources, and pass that accurate understanding throughout the organization. New Features Evoke Axio release 4.2 includes a new multi-map feature in the FTM FTM Free Throws Made (basketball) FTM Family Tree Maker (Brøderbund) FTM Female to Male Transsexual FTM For The Moment FTM Fair to Midland (band) FTM Forgot to Mention (fixed target mapping) functionality that allows Evoke software users to map databases one-to-many and many-to-one. It also now includes data value mapping and integrity checks. These new features allow users to map more complex data situations and support much larger structures. Users can now allow Evoke software to build the tedious data value transforms for encoded data rather than doing it manually, and allow Evoke software to find entity-level problems with source data structures before attempting ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) The functions performed when pulling data out of one database and placing it into another of a different type. ETL is used to migrate data, often from relational databases into decision support systems. process building. With the release of Evoke Axio 4.2, Evoke software has added 108 views to the Evoke Repository and 12 new reports making the knowledge base of accurate information about data available and accessible to more users in the client organization. The new Evoke Repository Reports feature allows data analysts and database designers to share information about the databases with a much wider audience. Evoke Axio 4.2 also includes a new outbound port, based on the Object Management Group's common warehouse metamodel For other uses of "CWM", see CWM (disambiguation). The Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM) is a specification for modeling metadata for relational, non-relational, multi-dimensional, and most other objects found in a data warehousing environment. (CWM) standard, which allows users to seamlessly move Evoke Repository information (including the schema link, and transformation information developed by Evoke Axio during data profiling) to other products that have adopted the CWM standard (such as the IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) Data Warehouse Manager product). This significantly reduces re-work for users who can now easily export essential information discovered and developed by Evoke Axio about source data into other products and processes dependent upon that same information. Enhancements Improvements were made to the performance and ease of use of Evoke Axio IMS (1) See IP Multimedia Subsystem.

IMS was widely implemented throughout the 1970s under MVS and continues to be used under z/OS. extraction tool and Source Profiler speeding up the process of preparing complex legacy data for Evoke Axio data profiling. Evoke software's ability to profile virtually any existing data, including legacy IMS and VSAM (Virtual Storage Access Method) An IBM access method for storing data, widely used in IBM mainframes. It uses the B+tree method for organizing data. VSAM - Virtual Storage Access Method data is a significant capability requirement for Fortune 500 companies served by Evoke. Additional functionality in the FTM/XML mapping component include support of XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. translation services for DTD (Document Type Definition) A language that describes the contents of an SGML document. The DTD is also used with XML, and the DTD definitions may be embedded within an XML document or in a separate file. to DTD mapping and XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) Software that converts an XML document into another format such as HTML, PDF or text. It may also be used to convert one XML document to another XML document with a different set of XML tags (different schema). generation, making it easier for users who need to support external transaction flows between organizations (such as B2B (Business to Business) Refers to one business communicating with or selling to another. See B2B e-commerce, B2C and B2G. B2B - business to business exchanges) that rely on XML communications. Evoke Axio release 4.2 also has improved XML schema editing, allowing users to edit and revise DTDs without losing finished mappings.
