At a glance

IBM® InfoSphere® DataStage® Real Time Capture is an embedded, turnkey solution that provides highly scalable and reliable data capture capabilities for IBM InfoSphere DataStage, a component of the IBM InfoSphere Information Server platform.

A fully integrated solution built on a microservice architecture, InfoSphere DataStage Real Time Capture:

Enables users to capture data source changes in real time and easily transform and feed those changes into downstream systems and processes
Hides the complexity that is typically associated with setup and configuration of capturing data source changes in real time
Is designed for cloud readiness through its use of remote capture technology and microservice-based architecture

Overview

Timely, trusted, and accurate delivery of data to the business is a key aspect for successful data monetization. Businesses must be capable of making critical business decisions on the most current information, especially decisions that require source system changes to be propagated, transformed, and delivered to downstream analytic environments or data hubs, instantaneously.

InfoSphere DataStage Real Time Capture combines selected enterprise-scale batch and near real-time data integration capabilities of InfoSphere DataStage and IBM Data Replication to deliver a focused, agile solution that addresses these industry data delivery challenges.

InfoSphere DataStage Real Time Capture integrates customized enterprise-scale remote data capture engines from Data Replication natively into InfoSphere DataStage, creating an embedded, turnkey solution. The power of these integration capabilities, combined with a smart user experience that hides the complexity of configuring near real-time captures, enables InfoSphere DataStage users to focus on data transformation and feeding near real-time data changes into downstream systems.

InfoSphere DataStage Real Time Capture is designed for low latency while minimizing the impact to those source systems supporting use cases that require optimizing data sourcing for operational business intelligence, analytical data processing, or data transformation and delivery into data hubs.

Key requirements

InfoSphere DataStage Real Time Capture requires InfoSphere DataStage V11.7.1 Service Pack 2 deployed as a container.

IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) with the initial license acquisition of each program acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available.

Limited warranty

IBM warrants that when the program is used in the specified operating environment, it will conform to its specifications. The warranty applies only to the unmodified portion of the program. IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the program or that IBM will correct all program defects. You are responsible for the results obtained from the use of the program.

IBM provides you with access to IBM databases containing information about known program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses at no additional charge. For further information, see the IBM Support Guide.

IBM will maintain this information for at least one year after the original licensee acquires the program (warranty period).

Program technical support

Technical support of a program product version or release will be available for a minimum of two years from the planned availability date, as long as your Software Subscription and Support (also referred to as Software Maintenance) is in effect.

This technical support allows you to obtain assistance (by telephone or electronic means) from IBM for product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the installation and operation of the program product. Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) also provides you with access to versions, releases, and updates (CD releases, Long Term Support Releases or fixes) of the program. You will be notified, through an announcement letter, of discontinuance of support with six months' notice. If you require additional technical support from IBM, including an extension of support beyond the discontinuance date, contact your IBM representative or IBM Business Partner. This extension may be available for a fee.

Money-back guarantee

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.

For clarification, note that (1) for programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program and (2) for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

Statement of good security practices

IT system security involves protecting systems and information through intrusion prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a regulatory compliant, comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective.

Important: IBM does not warrant that any systems, products, or services are immune from, or will make your enterprise immune from, the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
