Co>Operating System
Ab Initio Co>Operating System is a foundation for all Ab Initio applications and provides a
general engine for integration of all kinds of data processing and communication between all the
tools within the platform. It runs on OS/390, zOS on Mainframe, Unix, Linux, and Windows. It
enables distributed and parallel execution, platform-independent data transport, estabilishing
checkpoints and monitoring of the process. It implements data excution paralellism by using data
paralellism, component paralellism and piepline paralellism. This tool also assures high data
processing capability and provides speedups proportional to hardware resources available.
Component library
The Ab Initio Component Library is a reusable software module for sorting, data transformation,
and high-speed database loading and unloading. This is a flexible and extensible tool which
adapts at runtime to the formats of records entered and allows creation and incorporation of new
components obtained from any program that permits integration and reuse of external legacy
codes and storage engines.
Graphical Development Environment provides an intuitive graphical interface for editing and
executing applications. You can easily drag-and-drop components from the library onto a canvas,
configure them and connect them into flowcharts. They are not only an abstract diagram but also
actual architecture of various ETL functions. All the graphs contain a program function and
channel data flow in one direction. This allows the graphs to run in a parallel processing
environment. Then the programs can be directly executed with Co>Operating System. Ab Initio
also allows monitoring of running applications, and makes it easy to quantify data volumes and
execution times of the programs to investigate the opportunities for improved performance. You
can also write Ab Initio programs using text editors instead of Graphical Development
Environment and then execute them with Co>Operating System.
Data Profiler
The Data Profiler is an analytical application that can specify data range, scope, distribution,
variance, and quality. It runs in a graphic environment on top of the Co>Operating system.
