Altova Mapforce Enterprise Edition 2008

Altova MapForce 2008 Enterprise Edition is the premier data mapping, conversion, and integration tool. This award-winning, visual tool lets you map between any combination of XML, database, flat file, EDI, and/or Web service. Then it transforms data instantly or auto-generates a royalty-free software application for use in execution of recurrent conversions. Its underlying MapForce Engine can even be used as a flexible component in your own data exchange applications. To use MapForce, simply open information sources and targets, drop in data processing functions from the customizable libraries, and drag connecting lines between elements you wish to associate. Numerous functions come standard (e.g., filter, concatenate, sum, average, replace, etc.), and you can make and save your own data processing functions, or use existing Web services as processing functions within mapping projects. Once a mapping is defined, you can instantly view and save the output. Additionally, with just a click of the mouse, you can choose between XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery, Java, C++, or C# to automatically generate a turnkey application from your data mapping designs. This way, you can implement data integration and Web services applications without writing any code. MapForce supports all major databases, including IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, and others. It even supports mapping XML data to and from IBM DB2 9: pureXML databases. The versatile FlexText utility, included with MapForce Enterprise Edition, lets you parse arbitrarily structured text files and easily incorporate legacy data in your mapping designs. MapForce integrates with both Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Eclipse, so you can use its advanced functionality from within these leading IDEs. MapForce is indispensable for anyone facing data integration and Web services implementation challenges. Give your data direction!
