Data Junction v5.11 for Windows - $299 Data Junction is a universal data conversion tool. Built with a graphical interface, users can convert nearly any structured, field and record-oriented file format, including PC Databases, SQL DBMS, Spreadsheets, Flat Files, ASCII, Binary/EBCDIC, ISAMs, Text and Reports (see Cambio and DJXL below), Verticals (Acct, Contact Mgrs, Mailing/Printing, ...) Legacy Cobol, Math/Stats, Mailmerge, TextBases, and many others. DJWin displays both Source and Target structures, and employs drag- and-drop to visually map the Source data to the Target. More than 60 built-in functions are provided to filter and edit the data contents during the conversion. Visual data parsers are available to assist in defining the most difficult file types. Before and after Source and Target viewers allow easy testing and debugging. Full error logging is supported. All specifications can be set up and run interactively, or stored for subsequent automated use. Perfect for legacy data migration, application data exchange, data warehouse and year 2000 projects Sample formats include ASCII (delimited, fixed, SDF, Mac, Unix, reports), Access, Btrieve, Oracle, SQL Server, C-ISAM, c-tree, DataEase, DataFlex, dBASE, Excel, FoxPro, IDAPI, Informix, 123, Lotus Notes, Paradox, R:BASE, SQLBase, Sybase, ODBC, DB2, Binary/EBCDIC, Legacy Cobol (including 01 copybook), Mailmerge (Word and WordPerfect), HTML, RTF, Folio, On-Line Databases (DIALOG, McGraw- Hill, Dodge, Reuters, Dow Jones, Lexis/Nexis, WestLaw..), SPSS, SAS, S-Plus, USMARC, Micro Focus and many more.. 2. Cambio v5.11 for Windows - $199 Cambio is a visual text-mining tool used to extract useful databases >from raw text and report files. Cambio can tackle text data arriving as printfiles, captured reports, downloads, tagged ASCII, labels, multi-line records, newsfeeds, email msgs, OCR output and much more. Cambio displays the original line-oriented text file in a graphical data window for direct manipulation. Using the mouse to mark up the source data, useful fields and records can be extracted and assembled into a database view for easy export to popular formats like dBASE, Excel, Lotus 123 and Delimited ASCII. Pop-up dialogs allow for pattern-based linestyle recognition, and floating or fixed data field definition. Browsing and debugging functions assist in the job of refining extraction rules. Visual clues are displayed throughout the text file, and results can be tested instantly. Session parameters can be executed dynamically or stored for future use. Command line automation and error logging are both available. Produces DJXL scripts (see elsewhere) for easy deployment of runtime solutions. Can be integrated as a front-end to Data Junction to exploit a richer set of manipulations and conversions to any of the thousands of formats supported by DJWin . 3. DJXL v5.1 - Data Junction Extraction Language - $199 DJXL is an awk-like, line-oriented programming language. It is used to extract structured databases from any raw text file - ASCII or EBCDIC - regardless of dimensions or complexity. DJXL scripts scan incoming text lines, and mine useful fields of data. DJXL then assembles those fields into a flat record of data which it "Accepts", and passes on to a subsequent process (eg. Data Junction or Cambio). DJXL provides a wide variety of pattern recognition, computing, data- manipulation and formatting functions so that data can be massaged while it is being "flattened". Scripts can be used as Source Code, or packed and encoded for distribution. Samples are provided. Developers are free to exploit DJXL scripts for corporate and commercial use. DJCorp intends to distribute Custom Packs of DJXL scripts for popular data sources (eg. Dodge Reports, EDI, Dow Jones, Reuters, Email, HTML, Xerox Printstreams, DIALOG and others...). Requires Data Junction or Cambio for downstream processing.

The initial design supports the distributed Scientific Datasets for HDF files. The Distributed SD (DSD) interface is designed for those who are familiar with the SD interface and experienced with message-passing programs. The DSD interface is a layer on top of the SD interface and using MPI for interprocess communications. The Beta version of the DSD interface has the following features: - speedup of I/O - Self described distributed file layout - Asynchronous I/O access by compute processes - chunking scheme for distributed scientific data sets - Ease to access data (different memory layout and disk layout) - other HDF features The routines of the DSD interface includes: DSDstart - opens the distributed HDF files DSDnametoindex - uses the name of a scientific data set to determine the index assigned to it DSDselect - opens an existing distributed scientific data set for access DSDcreate - creates a distributed scientific data set DSDreaddata - reads a hyperslab of data for a distributed scientific data set DSDwritedata - writes a hyperslab of data for a distributed scientific data set DSDendaccess - closes a distributed scientific data set DSDend - closes the distributed HDF files Third Party Software Requirements: - HDF distribution release 4.0r2 - MPICH 1.0.13 distribution. Platforms/OS supported: - HP-UX A.09.03 - IRIX 5.3 - SunOS 4.1.4 Steps to install the DSD interface: - obtain the DSD interface from ftp://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/pub/HDFNOW/dhdf.tar - tar -xf dhdf.tar - to compile the interface, follow the instructions in src/README - to run examples, follow the instructions in examples/README
