The software offerings,
SAS Data Integration Server and SAS Enterprise Data Integration Server,
include data quality software from SAS and from DataFlux (a SAS company).
The data quality software enables you to analyze, standardize, and
transform your data to increase the accuracy and value of the knowledge
that you extract from your data.
The
data quality product from SAS is SAS Data Quality Server, which consists
of SAS language elements and a Quality Knowledge Base from DataFlux.
The language elements analyze and cleanse data by referencing data
definitions in the Quality Knowledge Base. SAS Data Quality Server
also provides a SAS language interface to the DataFlux Data Management
Platform.
The data
quality software from DataFlux consists of the DataFlux Data Management
Server, a second Quality Knowledge Base, and the DataFlux Data Management
Studio software. The DataFlux Data Management Server runs jobs and
real-time services that are created in DataFlux Data Management Studio.
The jobs and real-time services can be executed by SAS programs that
contain the procedures and functions in SAS Data Quality Server. Among
its many capabilities, the DataFlux Data Management Studio software
enables you to create jobs and real-time services and customize the
data definitions in Quality Knowledge Bases.
SAS Data Integration
Studio provides enabling software for data quality applications. SAS
provides data quality transformations that enable you to analyze data,
cleanse data, or trigger the execution of DataFlux jobs or real-time
services on DataFlux Data Management Servers.
The data quality software
from SAS and DataFlux requires setup and configuration after installation.
