Syspedia was designed from the ground up to access all your enterprise environments from COBOL to Java to .NET easily.  Key features that allow Syspedia’s metadata repository to be this flexible are that Syspedia:

• Is a 100% Java-based product so that it can run on any platform.
• Searches within your applications for element level details, easily recognizing common generic file layout formats and other language or platform specific elements, SQL or keywords.
• Imports definitions directly into its metadata repository from XML or other DBMS compatible interfaces.
• Is accessible through a web browser or a simple command line interface.
• Interfaces with most, if not all, file systems and databases on Windows, UNIX and z/OS.

Syspedia is designed to interface and integrate easily into your enterprise’s environments and development lifecycle.

The Knowledge Discovery Extract Modules are designed to be incorporated or interface with any expanded source code. This allows Syspedia’s metadata repository to have the most up-to-date information regarding your systems, applications and data elements.

Extract processing is based on the source module timestamp. This data is used to determine whether or not changes should be captured.

Syspedia’s Knowledge Discovery component is a Java-based Command Line executed process that can extract any information from any platform. This simple command line interface provides the administrator ultimate flexibility to integrate Syspedia into the development and production change management process.

Because it’s so flexible, Syspedia’s metadata repository will allow you the ability to insure compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley, PII, PCI and other regulations and the ability to streamline procedures while maintaining data integrity.

Since the Knowledge Discovery component can be installed in a variety of database configurations [link to pre-requisites] and uses standard JDBC connectivity, it can be easily configured into your network.
