Progress DataXtend SI Designer

Progress® DataXtend® SI Designer is a complete design environment for creating and managing validation, aggregation and transformation rules, in order to generate valid data services. DataXtend SI Designer automatically imports existing schemas for data sources, data services, and the common model, where they are enriched with transformation and validation rules using DataXtend SI's comprehensive set of visual tools to create Exchange Models. DataXtend SI also allows developers to define new schemas and export them as XSDs to create new data services.

Cut Complexity With Exchange Modeling Technology

Exchange model contains the relationships between the data services, sources, and the common model

Import models defined in UML, XML Schema, or WSDL – Interfaces and common models are defined in a wide variety of formats. DataXtend SI imports them all: UML, XML Schema, WSDLs, relational databases and others.
Enrich with computations, rules, and mappings – DataXtend SI automatically defines validation rules to enforce constraints specified by imported schemas.

Integrated testing ensures higher quality deployments – DataXtend SI’s integrated testing tools use the Exchange Model to evaluate test cases; deployment into a separate test environment is not necessary.

Impact analysis tools manage risk from change – The Exchange Model is the basis of robust change management. Since applications and services are linked to a common model, you can visualize and report on how information flows between all of the interconnected components.
Simplify model governance and promote re-use – DataXtend SI captures and manages all the integration metadata necessary to simplify model governance and promote re-use.

DataXtend SI’s centralized design and distributed deployment reduce complexity and cost, and provides better governance and superior performing data services to preserve the loosely-coupled characteristics of your SOA platform.
