Eclipse iExtract™
Eclipse iExtract is a powerful utility that quickly and efficiently extracts data from both Full-Function and Fast Path databases. Because Eclipse iExtract directly accesses the database, its performance is unmatched. While other data extraction utilities work through DL/1 or by using user exits or APIs to access data, Eclipse iExtract can access a database directly to extract data, making it as much as 100 times faster than other methods. This speed makes it possible to access needed data quickly while reducing CPU usage. Eclipse iExtract also utilizes IBM System z9 Integrated Information Processors (zIIPs). By moving eligible work to zIIPs, Eclipse iExtract frees up central processors and reduces the overall cost of computing.
The business requirements for data extraction vary from creating custom reports, migration from hierarchical to relational databases, or replicating data for use in a data warehouse. By using the extensive set of commands and expressions in Eclipse iExtract, you can create custom output files for a variety of purposes.
