 InfoLibrarian Metadata Scanners™
The InfoLibrarian Metadata scanners capture Metadata from diverse sources and load the Metadata into the Universal MetaMart™
The scanners can be later scheduled to re-run and capture changes that have occurred over time. This makes all your Metadata available via the portal, or for reporting from virtually any third party reporting tool.
In
addition to the ability to scan for Metadata, the
scanners themselves can be queried in real-time
using the InfoLibrarian Open Services Framework™
to create robust extensions at any time. Scanner
templates are available, giving you the ability to
maintain and customize your scanners in the
future.
Scanning Performance and Load
The InfoLibrarian scanners were designed to perform in the most demanding environments and are capable of scanning millions of objects.
The scanners have a small footprint and show negligible performance impact against the sources they scan. The Auto-Scanner is fully multi-threaded
taking advantage of SMP hardware and you can adjust the batch size for the lightweight queries that run against your source systems, giving you full
control in minimizing any impact on your production systems. Our scanners have been deployed in some of the largest production IT environments
against hundreds of servers.

InfoLibrarian Universal Mapper Scanner ™
The InfoLibrarian Metadata generates and automates the process of stitching or
chaining scanned metadata objects from different sources.
The Mapper defines the linkages between
|
two scanned sources and allows those linkages to be automatically generated when
re-scans run. The result facilitates visual lineage via the portal.
