The following is a brief description of the major components of
Data Express:
- Data Builder
- The core
Data Express module that enables you to take inventory of your data, and store information in the
Data Express Knowledge Base, which resides on z/OS. Data Builder works with both Data Masking and Data Subset Extraction.
- Data Masking
- The module that enables you to generate a test environment where personal and sensitive data has been made anonymous by using
predefined or customized masking routines.
- Data Subset Extraction
- The module that enables you to generate a test environment where a consistent and congruent subset of data has been extracted
to allow for a manageable volume of data.
- Workspace
- A two-dimensional working environment definition from which you can categorize and classify data stores for your test environment.
- Data Express Knowledge Base
- A collection of tables within a database that contain all information about catalogued files, including properties and processing
rules. The Knowledge Base for the
Data Express for z/OS solution is a Mainframe DB/2 repository located in your z/OS environment.
