DB Change Manager XE6 Datasheet - The Essential Schema and Data Synchronization Tool
0 likes317 views
DB Change Manager XE6 is a tool that allows database administrators to simplify database change management. It provides automated schema and data synchronization capabilities to identify changes between environments. This helps streamline upgrades, pinpoint differences, and ensure databases across environments remain in sync. The tool generates synchronization scripts and reports to easily roll out changes, track how databases have changed over time, and comply with audit requirements.
DB Change Manager XE6 Datasheet - The Essential Schema and Data Synchronization Tool
- 1. DB Change Manager XE6 The Essential Schema and Data S ynchronization Tool Embarcadero® DB Change Manager™ XE6 is an essential database change management tool for DBAs and data profes-sionals. It uniquely offers automated compare and synchronization capabilities to simplify change operations. Rapidly identify changes, streamline upgrades to new releases and pinpoint environmental differences resulting from changes at the data, schema, and database configuration levels. Database Administrators sit at the center of a complex workflow that touches many participants: data modelers, da-tabase developers, architects, business analysts, software de-velopers and more. At any given time, each database under their management is physically instantiated across a number of different environments, each of which may contain any one of several versions of the same database. Database developers are also faced with unique requirements that can only be addressed by specialized functionality: • Preserving data when making structural changes • Validating synchronicity in a replicated environment • Managing reference data across test, development, and production environments Managing this steady stream of functional and technology change across all of these physical environments and design layer components can be a tremendous challenge. Often-times, the database change process has been (rightly or wrongly) patterned after the software change management process. This invariably leaves gaps, which are usually filled with manual and ad hoc workarounds. Adopting reliable, repeatable, and efficient processes to manage database changes are vital to the success of any software project. DB Change Manager puts the power of change tracking, schema comparison, software-generated synchronization scripts, and flexible reporting into the hands of DBAs and development teams. You want to ensure that changes applied to production make it back into the database design, development, and test environments; you want to easily bundle changes together for migration between environments; you want to automate manual and repetitive tasks; and you want to keep track of tables, procedures, settings, and privileges. DB Change Man-ager is designed to handle database change management tasks by simplifying processes, streamlining complex tasks, reducing the chance for errors, and minimizing downtime. Quickly Roll-Out Database Changes Use a live-to-live database compare as a basis for obtaining a list of changed objects, and a change script to roll changes forward. Capture a snapshot of the target before you roll changes forward, so that you can roll back a schema change if necessary. DB Change Manager includes deep support for DB2 for LUW, Oracle, SQL Server and Sybase leverages DBMS specific features, objects, options, and syntax. Reveal, Track, and Report How a Database Has Changed Reveal and report on changes to packaged application databases resulting from vendor patches or customization. Uncover database abnormalities stemming from improper change, which might impact production performance or functionality. Notify yourself or others when a particular portion of the database has changed, for example, tables for data modelers, stored procedures for developers, etc. 01 0 01101 1 110 10111 0110 01111 11100 00001 0000 0 0011011100111010 01101 11 01010 11001 100 0001101111011001 00010 10001 01111 11101 10010 1010110001101101 11011 1101000 10000 01100 01011 1110011001000010 00001 001111001 11011 00110 00101 0110101101001011 00110 “Migrating code from development to production requires both heavy lifting and fine tuning. Our larger releases involve hundreds of tables so we use Change Manager to off-load the burden of schema comparison to quickly and clearly see differences and likenesses.” alan woodling, Senior Database Administrator Leading International Restaurant Chain
- 2. BENEFITS SUMMARY Mitigate Organizational Risk, Align with Data Governance Principles DB Change Manager’s ability to identify and report on changes to the database at or between points in time helps organizations comply with database audit and reporting requirements. Organizations can protect data privacy with data masking and mitigate organizational risk by using DB Change Manager to reveal, report, and notify changes to critical databases configurations. DBAs can also restore databases to a secure point in time with DB Change Manager’s alter scripts. Comply with Database Audit / Reporting Requirements Identify and report on changes to the database at or be-tween points in time, or to particular sensitive objects, ad hoc or on a regular basis. Audit database configurations against established standards to minimize the vulnerability of your databases. General Features multi-platform support Manage all major DBMSs from a single interface. Support includes Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, InterBase, and Firebird. embarcadero® appwave™ Enables centralized license management. job notification Delivery of job status notifications via email. unicode support Full Unicode character support throughout the application.
