Corticon Data Connectivity

Advanced Data Connector (ADC)

ADC takes a different approach to data access. ADC is very efficient in dealing with large datasets because it gives you control of the queries. This allows you to optimize queries for performance. With ADC you can access multiple databases from your rules, for example reading from one database and writing to another. With EDC, you're limited to one database.

Both read and write performance are much better than EDC when processing larger datasets. ADC can read related data in a few passes from the database, where EDC performs discrete queries to fetch data. And ADC can write back data in chunks, where EDC writes data as discrete updates.

REST Data Connector

With the release of Corticon 6, Progress has expanded the data integration capabilities of Corticon with the inclusion of DataDirect Autonomous REST Connector. You can now retrieve data from REST API services to enrich the payloads being processed by your rules.

The new REST API data source complements the existing EDC and ADC features, providing the ability to access both REST API and SQL-based data from your rules. Potential use cases include accessing an external credit bureau's REST service to retrieve a credit rating for an applicant or accessing an internal REST service to retrieve supporting information for a healthcare claim.

Batch Processing

Corticon’s batch processing provides the ability to efficiently perform the regulatory compliance checks, fraud detection and other processing on the huge volumes of data many businesses accumulate. This processing can be scheduled for after hours, during periods of low system usage or as required by the business (for example, monthly or quarterly reporting). Corticon’s batch processing uses ADC to efficiently access database data; using your optimized database queries.
