Of the new enhancements to this award-winning product, Vision Suite OMS/400 R7.0.02 brings several significant new features to life: -- CRC Sync Check and Object Repair -- Using a proprietary solution with a high performance industry proven algorithm, this feature provides a very reliable method for detecting differences between data from the source system to the target system. For customers who use the target system to off load work, CRC Sync Check can give added confidence that if data on the target gets inadvertently modified, this feature can notify and fix the out-of-sync condition. If a file is found to be out of sync, CRC Sync Check now has the ability, using the Object Repair feature, to re-sync an entire file automatically, or simply the segment of the file found to be out of sync. This is especially useful for extremely large files with millions of records because of the time it takes to perform a SAVE/RESTORE operation. With CRC Sync Check, customers are now able to: -- Guarantee data integrity, something that other providers cannot promise users -- Validate large files with a 100 percent confidence level -- Can be used in situations where you cannot save a file due to Save-While-Active or commitment control -- Repair a portion of a file that is out-of-sync without the need to save and restore the file -- Referential Integrity -- Provides comprehensive RI support for automatic grouping of related and/or dependent objects to the same apply queue with joint logicals and referential integrity relations ensuring greater data integrity by making sure files are not out of sync.
