Information Technology
Ab initio can connect to all the databases with specific dbconfig files for that
particular database where in we provide info to connect to database like :db
version,username,password etc.
DB Components unloads the source table records into Ab initio,performs
transformations and then loads the data into the target. The data may also be in the
flatfile format
Ab initio provides excellent features for data manipulation as per the
requirement. Ex : User defined fns, built-in fns for different data types.

Parallelism
Pipeline Parallelism
A graph with multiple components running simultaneously on the same data uses
pipeline parallelism.
Each component in the pipeline continuously reads from upstream components,
processes data, and writes to downstream components. Since a downstream
component can process records previously written by an upstream component, both
components can operate in parallel.
Component Parallelism
A graph with multiple processes running simultaneously on separate data uses
component parallelism.
Data Parallelism
A graph that deals with data divided into segments and operates on each segment
simultaneously uses data parallelism. Nearly all commercial data processing tasks
can use data parallelism. To support this form of parallelism, Ab Initio software
provides Partition components to segment data, and Departition components to
merge segmented data back together .
