Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois-based Platinum Technology Inc does not spend all its time looking for other companies to eat – it does also enhance its rapidly-growing portfolio of software products. And, adding to its database story, Platinum has launched InfoRefiner 3.0, its data extraction and data movement tool, and Platinum Repository Open Enterprise Edition 1.0, PR/OEE, its metadata management system. InfoRefiner 3.0 takes legacy data in IBM Corp’s DB2 for MVS, IMS hierarchical files, VSAM, and sequential file formats, and integrates it into the relational structures for DB2. Version 3.0 supports replication and change propagation from DB2 as a source database and direct mapping to a single generic model for replication and propagation to heterogeneous targets. InfoRefiner is shipping now and is up under DB2 for MVS. Prices start at $20,300. PR/OEE its a three-tiered, client-server architecture that enables application logic, the repository engine and the repository database to reside on separate servers using Oracle or Sybase SQL Server software. PR/OEE goes up under AIX, HP-UX and Solaris in the first quarter of 1996; prices start at $50,000.
