As an Oracle DBA, managing and monitoring data operations is a regular routine. Tasks such as data export/import with Oracle datapump (IMPDP/EXPDP) can be time-consuming and error-prone. Data privacy regulations increase the need to mask sensitive data when it is copied. DBAs often struggle to find suitable and efficient solutions to meet these demands.
XDM simplifies and automates Oracle datapump processes, using expdp and impdp to unload and load data between different Oracle environments. Whether transferring data via shared volumes or over a network between Oracle systems, XDM manages the entire process efficiently. It optionally generates DDL, compares the structures of source and target tables, and creates objects on demand when needed. With support for a wide range of data types, XDM ensures seamless data transfers, even when target tables have slightly different structures. XDM adapts the data to fit the target schema, and as a fallback, it leverages SQL*Loader to efficiently load data into the target system. XDM’s multithreaded engine dramatically reduces the time needed to copy data, optimizing performance and minimizing delays. This allows for faster and more efficient data migrations and provisioning processes.
Protecting sensitive information is a critical responsibility for DBAs, when handling data in non- production environments. XDM provides data masking capabilities to ensure data privacy and compliance with regulations such as HIPAA to protected PII data. XDM allows you to mask sensitive data seamlessly during the export/import process, anonymizing personal or confidential information while preserving the overall structure and consistency of your data. This ensures that developers, testers, and other non-production users have access to realistic data sets without exposing sensitive information.
The entire process is fully automated. DBAs can set up provisioning tasks through a user-friendly interface, specifying the source and target Oracle systems, along with the tables to be copied. XDM handles the entire process, freeing DBAs from manual oversight. Through its self-service portal, data requestors can manage specific options approved by the DBA, ensuring both control and flexibility while streamlining data provisioning tasks.
XDM is a complete test data management platform that enhances agile teamwork, automates test data workflows, and supports multiple databases with secure masking.
