Rocket Software : Multiplatform Secure, Seamless Data Replication  

Presenter: Andrew Simpson – Solutions Architect Rocket Software.

Your IBM i is the strategic platform of choice for your organisation, however older methods of moving data such as ETL processes and FTP are an early 2000 answer to a 2025 problem. More organisations want to duplicate their legacy data alongside their distributed systems data for analytical, AI and ML cloud-based initiatives having a more secure, robust, and automated way of achieving this. Join this session to learn about: 

1. One off bulk data load : Replicate your data by automating to cloud based services with no coding required.
2. Utilise Change Data Capture (CDC) : IBMi data changes automatically synchronised, staged and loaded into cloud-based services.
3. Encapsulate RPG and Cobol Business Logic: Both screen and non-screenbased programs can be converted into modern advanced APIs to then load business logic centric data into cloud based services. No more having to duplicate business logic into stored procedures.

 All with the latest security and standards which are at the top of your agenda. The session will complete with a demo showing :

1. The bulk loading of IBMi DB2 tables into a cloud-based database.
2. Encapsulating business logic from an IBMi RPG program and loading that business logic enriched data into a cloud-based database.
3. Transactional Data Changes (CDC) loading into a cloud-based database and publishing to Kafka.
