Microsoft SQL Server Integration

SQL Accelerator (an optional component for Kourier Integrator) provides seamless integration between IBM U2 and Microsoft's SQL Server database. Ideal for application integration or building a full-blown data warehouse, SQL Accelerator is the key component for connecting MultiValue and MS SQL Server databases because it automatically generates the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) packages that enable the seamless integration between the two databases. Note, if you are interested using Data Transformation Services (DTS), you can use the stand-alone version SQL Accelerator.

Maintaining a SQL data warehouse using Kourier Integrator for U2 and SQL Accelerator

The maintenance-free packages follow Microsoft best practices and include everything to update the database which includes: automatically mapping U2 dictionaries to SQL Server columns, insert-update-delete logic, managing database rule validation and exception handling, sending e-mail notifications, and more.

Example of Generate SSIS Packages Page

Near real-time SQL database updates can be attained using Kourier Integrator’s and SQL Accelerator’s “Net Change” technology and scheduling agents, which monitor changes to the MultiValue database and then optimize SQL Server database updates to provide high performance and scalability with guaranteed data delivery.

Eliminate Islands of Automation

Using Kourier Integrator, you can remove “islands of automation” resulting from non-integrated or loosely integrated applications. Kourier Integrator allows your MultiValue application to connect and exchange data with many popular applications such as: 

• Microsoft SQL Server Data Warehouse
• e-Commerce Web Storefronts
• Decision Support and Business Intelligence
• Information and Marketplace Portals
• Sales Force Automation
• Customer Relationship Management
• Advanced Production Scheduling
• Help Desk and Customer Support
• Factory Data Collection
• Electronic Data Interchange
• Product Data Management
• Product Lifecycle Management
• Other Enterprise applications

Enterprise Design

The integration model used by Kourier Integrator and SQL Accelerator has successfully moved millions and millions of transactions and it has proven to be a very reliable and effective integration method. There are many other advantages to this method compared to a stand-alone MultiValue data warehouse or direct MultiValue database connect model (e.g., ODBC):

• Security
• Performance
• Flexibility and Extensibility
• Scalability
• Independent Operation
