Data Assurance Agents

Data Assurance (DA) agents fetch and compress data from databases into the DA server.

There are two types of agents: the embedded local agent in DA server, and standalone (remote) agents, which DA server can use to improve job performance.

A DA agent opens a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connection to one or more databases, and reads the row data used for comparison. If there are no standalone DA agents, you must use the embedded local agent.

Based on the DA server request, a DA agent:

Compresses rows for precomparison, if configured to do so
Fetches rows for comparison
Hashes rows for precomparison, if configured to do so
Sorts rows for precomparison, if configured to do so
Runs insert/delete/update statements on databases, if configured to do so
