Many DataStage 7 sites have a shrink wrapped version of MetaStage that they never got running, there is another set who have it but are frustrated at the lack of support for new versions of ErWin and BI products, there are another set who installed and configured it but didn’t commit the support staff to keep it going. The Metadata Workbench on the other hand is easier to install as the Metadata Server is already running, it has more metadata import options via the embedded Meta Integration Technology, Inc. bridges and brokers and it is easier to use thanks to the Unicorn additions, the shared repository.and the browser interface. So MetaStage owners get a far superior metadata management and reporting tool for no additional license fees.

WebSphere Transformation Extender for DataStage offers:
Overview Metadata Workbench and WebSphere® Transformation Extender for DataStage® add value to IBM Information Server implementations by extending the visibility and functionality of the core product modules.
IBM Information Server, Metadata Workbench, and WebSphere Transformation Extender for DataStage can help your organization derive more value from the complex, heterogeneous information spread across your systems. The effectiveness of this information depends on your ability to parse, validate, and integrate complex sources, and your ability to understand where it comes from and what happens to it along the way. Organizations are unable to remain competitive without the ability to have complete, trusted information to both drive decisions and interact with customers and business partners. The concept of trusted information necessitates a complete understanding of the lineage and validity of information. Two main aspects of these offerings enhance trust in information:

ARMONK, NY - March 22, 2006 -- IBM today announced the availability of IBM Rational Data Architect, a new enterprise data modeling and integration design tool to help data architects more easily design anything from a simple relational database to a complex federated database. Rational Data Architect goes beyond traditional data modeling to provide unique discovery and mapping capabilities across the enterprise, enabling application developers, database administrators and enterprise information integration developers to easily understand their existing heterogeneous data assets and how they are related. It helps users map data assets to each other to more easily create database and integration schemas. Supporting most major databases including IBM DB2 Universal Database, IBM, Oracle, SQL Server, Informix and Sybase, Rational Data Architect is a heterogeneous data modeling and integration design tool. In addition, Rational Data Architect supports the design and deployment of WebSphere Information Integrator federated databases.

"DB2® Cube Views creates a unique OLAP platform based on open standards that allows BI application tools to connect easier, deploy faster, and perform better than before. BI client tools, when connected to the DB2 Cube Views platform, can increase the number of BI users throughout an organization by decreasing application deployment time, increasing ease of use and performance of business analysis applications, and decreasing data integrity issues. More types of users will be able to use BI because access to the data warehouse will be simpler, faster, and scale along CPUs.
Numerous vendors have already signed on to support this new, open BI platform from IBM. Ascential
Software, Brio, Business Objects, Cognos, IBM OLAP Server, Kalido, Microstrategy, and Rocket
Software state they are developing a bridge for DB2 Cube Views. Also, Meta Integration Technology,
Inc., is developing new bidirectional bridges integrating DB2 Cube Views with over 40 existing
metadata bridges for:
The unique Cube Views capabilities within DB2 provide information about the underlying structure of the data warehouse to client tools, thus improving the client tools' ability to build and execute BI queries. End users of the business analysis tools utilizing these new DB2 features will experience faster, more consistent query performance. Query designers will find it quicker and easier to import data warehouse characteristics and structure into their analytical applications. The new features will also reduce data integrity errors by standardizing access to the data warehouse. DB2 Cube Views:

META INTEGRATION MODEL BRIDGE PROVIDES MIGRATION SOLUTION FOR RATIONAL ROSE 2000E USERS.
|
PHILADEPHIA, Pennsylvania, August 29st, 2000 – Meta Integration today announces availability of version 2.4.4 of the Meta Integration™ Model Bridge (MIMB), a solution for legacy data migration and Metadata integration for Rational Software Corporation's Rose 2000E visual modeling product. Meta Integration Technology, Inc. (MITI) is demonstrating the Model Bridge at the Rational User Conference 2000 to show how companies can address the issue of migrating from legacy data modeling solutions. Additionally, Meta Integration, a Rational Unified Partner, and Rational Software have reached an agreement to provide Rational's technical consultants with the Meta Integration Model Bridge product. Historically, Rational and Meta Integration have worked together to provide metadata movement solutions for Rational Rose users. Having access to version 2.4.4 of the Meta Integration Model Bridge will allow Rational technical consultants to show customers how they can migrate legacy metadata to the Rational Rose Data Modeler included with Rational Rose 2000E. "Meta Integration Model Bridge can solve the problem of migrating legacy metadata to Rose Data Modeler from virtually any data modeling tool." said Eric Naiburg, Rose Data Modeler Product Manager at Rational. "Giving our customers a way to migrate from other tools to Rose will allow them to start using Rose for database design while not losing the investment in data modeling they have already made." MIMB offers bridges from/to CA(Platinum) ERwin, Oracle Designer 2000, Sybase PowerDesigner, CA(Sterling) COOL:GEN(TI Composer), DBA(Terrain), COOL:BusinessTeam(Groundworks), COOL:Enterprise(ADW), Popkin SystemArchitect, PrincetonSoftech Select SE, Silverrun, Visible IE:Advantage, and more. In addition, MIMB can also support the open metadata integration of Rational Rose with other metadata repositories from IBM, Microsoft, NCR, Oracle, and SAS. The need for data movement and data integration solutions is driven by the fact that data lies everywhere underneath business applications. The same applies for metadata: metadata is also everywhere underneath the software and database development tools, as well as within the repositories delivered with the Data Warehousing (DW), and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) environments. The Meta Integration Model Bridge (MIMB) represents MITI's metadata movement solution. "With over 20 bridges, MIMB is the most complete metadata movement solution on the market" said Christian Bremeau, CEO of Meta Integration. This latest release includes support for additional data and object modeling tools, as well as metadata repository sources in particular in the DW, DM, and ETL world. This latest version also includes more complete and updated support for the latest XML based metadata standards, including:
