Optional data enhancement in OmniEnterprise allows you to take that even further and transform data between locations to meet differing business requirements. Once defined, enhancements are automatic and applied to all data OmniEnterprise distributes. You can also write your own C routines for enhancing the data including reference to external files and tables. Since enhancement metadata are shared through the Enterprise Information Sharing Model, consistency is ensured regardless of which OmniEnterprise data distribution method you use. If, for example, you use OmniCopy to initialize a table and OmniReplicator to keep it up to date, you can be confident of consistent data transformation.
Some information is only relevant at the end of a business cycle.
And for some applications, data current as of the last business day, or even the end of the previous week or month is sufficient. For these applications, you can schedule data distribution to automatically take place during off hours to better balance network and processor loads, thus leveraging your network and system investment. You can also manually initiate data distribution. Organizations with highly variable processing and network loads can benefit from this latter option. In these cases, an operator can monitor the systems and initiate data distribution at an appropriate time.
