Pivital - Bradmark


	In today's market, companies depend on technology to keep them up and operating at peak performance. End users don't want excuses; they expect 100% availability with rapid and consistent response times. Whether it's interacting with suppliers, serving customers, or managing back-office functions such as accounting, payroll and human resources, companies rely on technology to improve efficiency and maximize profits. Over 20 years in the database industry has given Bradmark a unique and powerful expertise in the development of database management tools. This expertise has lead to the broad family of products including NORAD, DBGeneral, DiskSpaceManager, Superdex, and DBAudit products. For more information contact us today or visit the Bradmark website. DBGeneral The comprehensive database management solution that provides peak performance for the IMAGE database environment. Since 1981, DBGeneral has supported the evolution of the HP e3000 database management system by consistently helping DBA’s keep their systems performing efficiently and effectively. DBGeneral has many easy-to-use options that boost performance and identify critical problems, then make DBMS repairs as needed. Simply stated, DBGeneral is one of the most comprehensive database utilities available. Breaking the 4GB Ceiling DBGeneral resolves HP's four-gigabyte file size limitation designed specifically to meet the needs of user's with large databases that require a high-performing, high-capacity tool to manage their database environment. With this new technology, DBGeneral can manage large amounts of data efficiently, allowing product features to be applied to any size database. Key Benefits Stays in control... Avoids full datasets using set parameters to automatically monitor capacities. Adjusts master datasets through capacity sampling. Maximizes response time... Eliminates delays caused by broken chains and other technical breakdowns. Completes diagnostics fast... Quickly finds and fixes database performance or structural problems. Makes changes on-the-fly... Performs multiple item changes in a single operation while preserving all live data. Saves time... Creates small test and training bases without duplicating entire production bases. Supports HP enhancements... Supports major HP operating system enhancements such as Jumbo datasets, Dynamic Detail Dataset Expansion (DDX), Third Party Indexing (TPI), and B-Trees. - Back To Top - Disk Space Manager Execute a single command to defragment and recover unusable, inefficient disk space... On-line. Disk Space Manager takes advantage of Hewlett-Packard's Transaction Manager, assuring safe and fast performance without compromising data integrity. All Functions On-line Disk Space Manager performs all the functions of a typical reload on-line. With defragmentation, fragmented free space is no longer a problem. A single command combines small, unusable free chunks into larger, usable ones. This process is performed with no adverse effects to users' data. When a large chunk of free space is needed for operating system updates, new application loading, or using HP Sort, for example: Disk Space Manager allows a goal size to be defined creating the necessary space. Key Benefits No Downtime ... Recovers unusable, inefficient disk space by consolidating larger, usable extents on-line. Free-up Space... Automatically truncates unused file portions that MPE leaves behind, and recovers thousands of sectors of usable disk space in seconds. Boosts Performance ... Spreads heavily-used random access files across several drives to enhance I/O performance and reduce data file fragmentation. Improves Performance ... Combines sequential access files into a single extent. Saves Time ... Combines new drives into a volume set, balancing I/O without reloading the entire system. Better Organization ... Eases management of disk environment by automatically processing set defragmentation and by combining, spreading and truncating files. - Back To Top - Superdex The premier indexing tool that unlocks powerful data retrieval from your IMAGE database. Through superior indexing technology, Bradmark brings all the capabilities of a relational database to the HP e3000. SUPERDEX provides a faster, cost-effective and compatible indexing enhancement package that adds data retrieval speed and flexibility to IMAGE, TurboIMAGE, TurboIMAGE/XL and IMAGE/SQL databases. Additional benefits place SUPERDEX in a performance category of its own. IMAGE keys are no longer required to ensure that reports and lookups occur quickly. Now any field in any dataset can be a key. SUPERDEX allows the use of Boolean operators (and, or, not) to eliminate serial reads, dramatically reducing computing time. Interfaces for many common Fourth-Generation Languages are available minimizing the time required to make use of new keys. With SUPERDEX, TPI indexes are registered into the DBE of the IMAGE/SQL attached database, and provides a needed tool when trying to eliminate parallel scans against your TurboIMAGE data. Key Benefits Faster response for users... Serial reads are eliminated, while search options are expanded. Now, any field in the dataset can be a key. SQL SELECT performance... SQL Optimizer has access to TPI indexes, speeding SQL SELECT performance. QUERY/3000... Query can access TurboIMAGE data via INDEXES. Flexible index definitions... Concatenated, byte offset, grouping, supergrouping and keywording provide the right index for the situation. Multiple retrieval methods... Sorted sequential, generic and partial key, and SQL-like relational arguments provide the right retrieval for the situation. Flexible date formats... MANMAN and PowerHouse dates can be converted into an internal format, allowing ASCII retrievals for dates. - Back To Top - DBAudit Analyze IMAGE log files, modify databases, create audit trails and monitor database security Each action that modifies the IMAGE/SQL database is recorded (logged) to the logfile. These actions are separately identifiable, relating to specific DBOPENs, and can be analyzed and reported by DBAudit. The DBAudit utility allows database administrators to read IMAGE logfiles to analyze database modifications. Various detail or summary reports provide a wealth of data relating to the database accessors and modifications. Some columns of most reports include: database, dataset, device (where the database is accessed), logon MPE user and account, program name, group and account, IMAGE intrinsic type, item name and contents, etc. DBAudit provides an easy method for generating database transaction analysis reports. Key Benefits Audit database programs and control changes... DBAudit fulfills auditors' needs for reports which track database activity by individual user and/or application program. SELECT by numerous criteria... Easily obtains information regarding specific database modification through a variety of selection criteria, even from massive logfiles, and even if the data no longer exists in the database. Solve specific database modification mysteries... When a problem is found in the database with regard to data values in a particular field, DBAudit allows highly specific playback of the responsible transaction by particular field value. System crash database recovery... Pinpoints the logical status of the transaction and facilitates recovery. Status reports (epilog) show the database status at the time of the system abort. - Back To Top - NORAD The NORAD product family provides IT departments with real-time feedback and automatic corrective actions to ensure application and system uptime with the goal of maximizing application performance, availability and reliability.
