4960 DataMiner
DataMiner brings the newest available technologies on the market today to your POS data strategy. This includes true client/server capability and open access to all your 4680/4690 data. DataMiner opens up your entire organization to a wide variety of new applications that may read and update 4680/4690 files. You now have the ability to develop applications easily and quickly for the 4680/4690 using any of the many off the shelf ODBC and JDBC development applications available from your local PC store.
DataMiner gives you direct and real time access to native 4680/4690 files. Any piece of 4680/4690 data no matter how small or complex is readily available. You are no longer required to first go through the costly process of copying or transmitting data to another system and then modifying the data before it may be processed. This eliminates the costly and cumbersome additional “CARE and FEEDING” of external databases and the problems of “out of step data”.
Key Benefits
- Independent of data base layout - Programmers may now produce applications that use the ODBC and JDBC APIs but are isolated from the physical location of the data - (local/remote server (e.g. Oracle, Informix) or the 4680/4690 keyed, sequential, or direct files).
- Provides the power and flexibility of SQL functions on your 4680/4690 system
- Direct access to all 46x0 files (keyed, direct, or sequential)
- Improved management of store data
- No additional “CARE and FEEDING” of data bases or “out of step data” of external data bases
- Extends the life of existing investment
- Real time reporting to management
- Easy ad hoc report capabilities
- Data Mining
- Offers new application opportunities
- Availability of off the shelf state of the art Rapid Application development tools
- Applications may be developed in minutes or hours as opposed to days or weeks
- 46x0 programming skills not required
