  • Open Source ETL on the Mainframe
    2011 JPMorgan Chase ROBERT ZWINK , VP Implementation Services, Chief Development Office [RUNNING OPEN SOURCE ETL ON A MAINFRAME] Pentaho is an open source framework written in Java which includes a full featured Extract Transform Load (ETL) tool called Pentaho Data Integration (PDI). Programmers leverage PDI to create custom transformations which can be a direct 1:1 translation of existing COBOL. A rich palette of out of the box components allows the transformation to be assembled visually. Once finished, the transformation is a completely portable Java application, written in a visual programming language, which runs fully within a java virtual machine (JVM). Java programs created by PDI are 100% zAAP eligible.

  • 7 Mail Merge and Related Operations
    ESSENTIAL LibreOffice: Tutorials for Teachers Copyright © Bernard John Poole, 2019. All rights reserved MAIL MERGE AND RELATED OPERATIONS 7 Form letters and mailing labels LEARNING OUTCOMES LibreOffice is an integrated suite of programs. This means that the different components of the Office software—Writer, Base, Calc, and Impress, for example—are all part of the same system. As a result, you can easily switch from one component to another, cut and paste data between documents and, above all, use a common set of tools with each of the applications. The steps required to edit, copy, arrange, print, format, cut and paste, and so forth, are more or less the same, whether you are in the word processor, drawing, database, spreadsheet or presentation components of LibreOffice. In Lesson 6 you were introduced to the LibreOffice Base database. In Lesson 7 you are going to apply what you have learned about databases to the task of creating form letters and mailing labels. The process is called Mail Merge and it is an important word processing skill with which every teacher should be familiar. You can merge data from a database into different types of LibreOffice documents to produce any number of versions of a standard document tailored to address individual recipients. This is especially useful when creating form letters, which are another type of template or stationery document. But you can also merge data into a spreadsheet (such as an invoice or other accounting document) or into a drawing document. You can create mailing labels, or any document that requires fill-in-the-blanks data.

  • Main Page 1 Main Page
    Main Page 1 Main Page FLOSSMETRICS/ OpenTTT guides FLOSS (Free/Libre open source software) is one of the most important trends in IT since the advent of the PC and commodity software, but despite the potential impact on European firms, its adoption is still hampered by limited knowledge, especially among SMEs that could potentially benefit the most from it. This guide (developed in the context of the FLOSSMETRICS and OpenTTT projects) present a set of guidelines and suggestions for the adoption of open source software within SMEs, using a ladder model that will guide companies from the initial selection and adoption of FLOSS within the IT infrastructure up to the creation of suitable business models based on open source software. The guide is split into an introduction to FLOSS and a catalog of open source applications, selected to fulfill the requests that were gathered in the interviews and audit in the OpenTTT project. The application areas are infrastructural software (ranging from network and system management to security), ERP and CRM applications, groupware, document management, content management systems (CMS), VoIP, graphics/CAD/GIS systems, desktop applications, engineering and manufacturing, vertical business applications and eLearning. This is the third edition of the guide; the guide is distributed under a CC-attribution-sharealike 3.0 license. The author is Carlo Daffara ([email protected]).
