Kourier Integrator
Release 4 Features

Kourier Integrator Release 4 Overview

Release 4 of Kourier Integrator focuses on "Increased Connectivity" to expand the ability to connect with the multiple data sources that are typically used in companies today. The two major enhancements are:
 
  • Multi-Source Capability provides seamless integration and consolidation of information from U2 and/or other data sources (e.g., Oracle, MySQL, MS Access, and text files) into a Microsoft SQL Server database. This gives companies the ability to manage data from their islands of automation using a single ETL/EAI solution.
  • Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and Integration Services (SSIS) is available for companies that want to leverage the latest database technology from Microsoft, and take advantage of the increased SQL performance that will help them move large amounts of data quickly.
