Comprehensive DDI Data Wizards

Modern data management that drives real value and lowers costs

TCPWAVE

Streamlined import and export operations are simplified our DIY wizards to save time.

The TCPWave IPAM provides a comprehensive range of wizards and tools designed to make your life easier when dealing with data export and import operations. The DDI Migration wizards are a powerful tool that can significantly reduce the time required for pre-migration, migration, and post-migration processes. Not only do they provide a much more manageable way of exporting and importing data, but they can also offer valuable insight into the quality of your existing data.

Time Efficiency

Time Efficiency

  • Efficiently process data with bulk operations, saving time by handling large volumes of records in a single action rather than individually.
Consistency

Consistency

  • When processing data in bulk, it is easier to maintain consistency in the data. Bulk operations ensure that all records follow the same rules, procedures, and standards.
Error Handling

Error Handling

  • When processing data in bulk, it is easier to handle errors. Errors during bulk processing can be identified and corrected more efficiently than when processing data individually.
Scalability

Scalability

  • Bulk data processing is scalable. As your data needs grow, bulk processing can accommodate increased data volume without impacting processing time.

TCPWave DDI import wizards are optimized for performance in large organizations. They can handle thousands of records per second and meet the TCPWave DDI referential integrity constraints. If any exceptions arise during the import process, the DDI administrator can examine and perform additional analysis on an exception file produced by the wizards. It also ensures successful migrations. Our solution makes it easy to upload data present in Excel spreadsheets with minimal transformations. This feature can be used to analyze the overall data quality of your DDI data. The export and import wizard can be accessed from the Bulk Operations menu item in the user interface. Once the wizard appears, the user can select the functions required to perform the desired export or import operation. The user is prompted through screens by clicking the following, next, and OK buttons. Once the user interaction is complete, the TCPWave DDI performs the desired export or import action.

Data Import Export Wizard

The import process may encounter errors that require remediation by adding the data needed for TCPWave DDI's data integrity constraints. For example, if an orphaned CNAME record is encountered without the matching A record, it will be displayed in the exception report. Similarly, orphaned mail exchanger records can be cleaned up if a legacy mail server's object definition was deleted, but the corresponding MX records were not deleted. For the export operation, the DDI administrator needs at least read-only permission. However, for the import operation, read-write permission is required to process the input files and add new entries to the DDI database.

Data Import Export Wizard

An efficient DDI data lake is necessary to meet the demands of network automation, hybrid cloud applications, and machine learning initiatives. DevOps teams often face pressure to convert raw, unformatted data in the data lakes into clean, reliable information for network automation initiatives. We simplify the ETL (extract, transform, and load) process, enabling DDI engineers to extract the data from the IPAM, convert it into a DevOps-required format, and load it into a third-party network orchestration platform. We also simplify the import process, where bulk data can be consumed from formatted files via the CLI or by uploading Excel spreadsheets through the user interface. This allows applications and end-users to benefit from the business advantages offered by bulk data processing. Our solution is built with multi-threading and parallel processing techniques for enhanced performance. Our solution ensures that all the data wizard activities are monitored and audited for security and compliance purposes. Overall, our IPAM's data export and import operations offer a powerful and streamlined solution to handle the complexity of data management. Contact us on how to sanitize your data with our solution.
