IBM-centric Enterprise Environment
Traditional data structures fail when dealing with complex, cross-platform migrations (like moving from Oracle to SAP and Db2).
Power your Migration with ArcXA, built on Equitus.ai -Triple Store Architecture which powers the semantic intelligence layer automating ETL.
Traditional databases use rigid tables, rows, and columns. ArcXA, however, uses a Triple Store to model your entire data ecosystem as a Knowledge Graph.
Every piece of information is stored as a "triple": [Subject --->Predicate ---> Object].
Example:
[Table_A] — (contains_sensitive_data) —> [True]Example:
[Oracle_Column_X] — (maps_to) —> [SAP_Field_Y]
ArcXA Architectural choice directly accelerates and enables the capabilities across your three diagrams:
1. The Pipeline View (Semantic Alignment)
Moving data from Oracle to SAP and IBM Db2 isn't just a plumbing problem; it’s a translation problem. Oracle, SAP, and Db2 all speak different data dialects and structural languages.
What the Triple Store does: It acts as a universal semantic bridge in the middle (ArcXA). Instead of writing hardcoded, brittle mapping rules from Oracle to SAP and separate ones from Oracle to Db2, the Triple Store maps Oracle's metadata into a generalized semantic model.
The Acceleration: Because the relationships are stored as independent facts (triples), ArcXA can automatically infer how an Oracle data structure should look in SAP or Db2 without manual schema mapping. If a change happens in the Oracle source, the graph updates the relationship dynamically, preventing pipeline breakage.
2. The Three Capability Pillars (The Intelligence Engine)
Triple Store is the underlying engine that makes the three pillars highly automated rather than human-labor-intensive.

[ Pillar 1: ETL ] [ Pillar 2: Data ] [ Pillar 3: Eval ]
[ Cost Reduction] [ Selectors ] [ Set Generation ]
Pillar 1: ETL Cost Reduction
Problem: Traditional ETL analysis requires data analysts to manually trace code, documentation, and database schemas to figure out what data is actually used and what is redundant.
Semantic Acceleration: The Triple Store ingests system logs, database catalog data, and historical queries, linking them together. By running a graph traversal algorithm, ArcXA instantly spots "dead ends" (data that is never queried or moved). It identifies exactly what can be left behind, drastically shrinking the data footprint and cutting ETL compute costs.
Pillar 2: Data Selectors
The Problem: Selecting the right data subset for migration or testing usually requires writing massive, complex SQL queries with dozens of joins.
Semantic Acceleration: In a graph, relationships are "first-class citizens." Finding related data doesn't require complex SQL joins; it requires simple graph traversal. If you want to select a specific customer segment, the Triple Store instantly traverses the links from
Customer -> Orders -> Payments -> General Ledgeracross the Oracle schema, pulling the exact slice of data instantly.
Pillar 3: Eval Set Generation
Problem: Creating a representative testing/evaluation set requires understanding the semantic context of data so you don't break referential integrity.
Semantic Acceleration: The Triple Store retains the structural and contextual meaning of the data. When generating an eval set, it ensures that if a "Subject" is selected, all its mandatory "Predicates" and "Objects" come with it. It uses semantic reasoning to generate synthetic or masked test data that behaves exactly like production data, keeping SAP and Db2 targets happy.
3. End-to-End Sequential Flow (The Automation Loop
)
In a sequential flow from [Discovery ---> Transformation ---> Continuous Governance] a Triple Store changes the flow from a static checklist into a continuous feedback loop.
Discovery: Instead of just scanning schemas, the Triple Store builds the initial graph, discovering hidden relationships and dependencies that human architects miss.
Transformation & Migration: Because the graph knows what the data means (not just what it's named), it automates the "Replaces" callouts by neutralizing the need for legacy middleware or manual mapping spreadsheets.
Continuous Governance: This is where Triple Stores shine. When the migration is done, the graph doesn't disappear. It stays active. If a rogue schema change occurs in the target Db2 or SAP instances, the semantic engine detects that a "triple" has broken or deviated from the governance policy, raising an immediate alert.
In short: The Triple Store replaces manual, hardcoded code analysis with graph analytics and semantic reasoning. It allows ArcXA to understand the data context, allowing you to click any node in your diagrams and instantly drill deeper into its upstream origins and downstream impacts.
4. Three connected diagrams:
ArcXA intelligence layer in the middle, and the target outputs. Each tells a distinct part of the story.
Diagram 1: The migration pipeline — Oracle as source, SAP/IBM as targets, with ArcXA sitting in the middle as the intelligence layer.
Diagram 2: ArcXA's three core capabilities — how schema discovery, data selectors, and eval sets each work inside the migration, and what they replace.
Diagram 3: The compound output — what ArcXA produces end-to-end, from Oracle scan through to continuous post-migration governance. Three diagrams covering the full picture :
__________________________________________________________________________________
- Diagram 1 — the pipeline view: Oracle in, ArcXA in the middle, SAP and IBM Db2 as the two targets
- Diagram 2 — the three capability pillars side by side: ETL cost reduction, data selectors, and eval set generation with their sub-functions
- Diagram 3 — the end-to-end sequential flow from discovery through to continuous governance, with "replaces" callouts on the left (what ArcXA displaces) and "output" callouts on the right (what it produces)I'll build this as three connected diagrams — the overall flow, the ArcXA intelligence layer in the middle, and the target outputs. Each tells a distinct part of the story
- Diagram 4 — ArcXA Key Insights, Xplainable Assist (XA) — "lineage-aware" actually means that ArcXA doesn't just look at a field in isolation and guess what it maps to.
- ArcXA traces how that field has been used — which queries touched it, which views joined on it, which stored procedures transformed it — and uses that usage history to propose the transformation rule. So
ACCT_BAL NUMBER(15,2)in Oracle doesn't get a generic type-cast suggestion; it gets the specific rule that matches how the business has been consuming that field for years.
