挑战
Fabick Cat, a tractor dealer specializing in the distribution of Caterpillar® equipment, faced a challenge when it acquired a second Caterpillar dealership. The newly acquired dealership had its own custom-written order processing system running on OpenVMS with RMS files, different from Fabick Cat's IBM® AS/400 based system. Fabick Cat wanted a solution to provide a data warehouse for both systems to ensure uniform reporting and analytics for both companies. The initial plan was to FTP files from the OpenVMS server and load them into SQL Server. However, the amount of data downloaded every day and the manual nature of this approach raised concerns.
解决方案
Fabick Cat decided to use CONNX DataSync, a micro-batch, low-latency Change Data Capture (CDC) solution that keeps data fresh and up-to-date without impacting the performance of data sources. DataSync enables companies to maintain data warehouses with minimal effort or system requirements, delivering near real-time data integration and continuous refreshes by incrementally updating only those records that have changed. With the database synchronization software, companies can schedule updates to optimize system performance based on individual needs. Depending on the demand, updates can be scheduled for lower-use periods, such as after normal business hours, or as frequently as every minute when more up-to-date data is needed.
运营影响
  • Fabick Cat was able to create a SQL Server® data warehouse.
  • The company was able to consolidate reporting across multiple business units with different data sources.
  • Files from Change Data Capture (CDC) were indexed to SQL Server.
数量效益
  • DataSync is able to perform most syncs in seconds.
  • Only copying the changed data has not impacted the performance on the OpenVMS server for interactive users.
