Applimation Informia™ Subset
Reduce size requirements for your enterprise application testing environment to facilitate testing and development
As application databases grow, organizations face the challenge of a larger production environment. They must also contend with the storage footprint of all the non-production databases that support activities such as development, testing, off shoring and outsourcing. Traditionally, IT departments have created a full-size clone of the production application for each development and testing initiative. This is inefficient and wasteful since project teams must wait for the clone process to complete and because the clone often contains data that is irrelevant to the project team. Applimation Informia Subset enables organizations to create smaller, targeted databases for project teams that maintain application integrity while taking up a fraction of the space.

Informia Subset provides powerful filtering capabilities and intelligent built-in relational rules that administrators can define based on driving classes. A driving class includes a primary driving table within an enterprise application module and all the related tables to maintain referential integrity. Informia Subset automatically analyzes the targeted data based on the defined rule and estimates how much data will remain in the databases. Users can analyze the results and revise the rules to achieve the appropriate size and dataset required. Once the rules are approved, Informia Subset creates a smaller database retaining all defined data.
Driving Applimation's Informia Subset is the Applimation Enterprise Data Manager (EDM), which provides centralized management of all application data throughout an organization from a unified, integrated platform. Informia EDM comes pre-populated with accelerators for major business applications such as Oracle, PeopleSoft, and Siebel to address your immediate data management requirements.
