Powerful Test Data Management Across All Db2 PlatformsEstablished enterprises have trusted IBM Db2 on z/OS and distributed platforms as the backbone of their core systems for decades. XDM streamlines the test data supply process for these Db2 environments end‑to‑end, from identification and extraction through masking and loading. It enables controlled, repeatable data provisioning between Db2 for z/OS, Db2 LUW and Db2 for i, whether you clone entire schemas or move reduced, compliant subsets.
XDM’s modification engine anonymizes or pseudonymizes sensitive data as it is read from Db2, before it ever reaches a test environment. Masking methods work deterministically, ensuring that the same input value leads to the same masked value across all Db2 platforms and other connected systems. Built‑in methods and lookup tables for common attributes such as names, addresses and bank data ensure realistic yet compliant test data, while preserving referential integrity. This enables you to combine realistic Db2‑based test scenarios with strict GDPR and internal compliance requirements.
XDM natively supports Db2 on z/OS, Db2 LUW and Db2 for i/Series and can move data between these platforms as part of a single, coordinated process. Connections and environments are defined once and reused across tasks and workflows, from simple table copies to complex multi‑step provisioning chains. Via the Data Shop, even non‑technical testers can request Db2 test data self‑service, while the public REST API allows Db2 data flows to be triggered from CI/CD pipelines, schedulers and test management tools. This makes Db2 test data management a first‑class, automated building block in your overall delivery landscape.
XDM is a complete test data management platform that enhances agile teamwork, automates test data workflows, and supports multiple databases with secure masking.
