Problems solved by technology

By way of example, users of relational database information often do not understand the structure and nature of hierarchical database information, and vice versa, thus making the process of copying or moving such data much more difficult

Embodiment Construction

[0031] As shown in the figure and for purposes of illustration, the novel approach of embodiments of the present invention allows users to efficiently share and move data between different types of data storage formats and to identify mutual exclusivity of data in hierarchies. Existing systems have not been able to improve techniques for sharing and moving data between different types of data storage formats and have not been able to effectively identify the mutual exclusivity of that data.

[0032]Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating a computer system operable by the present invention. As shown in Figure 1 and in unit 100, the preferred embodiment of the present invention may be operated in a networked computer system configuration. Accordingly, client computer system 102 may communicate with server computer system 104 during operation of the present invention. Additionally, server computer system 104 may operate in conjunction with host computer system 106 . Hierarchy ...

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer products that efficiently share and move data between different types of data storage formats. More particularly, the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides an easy to use graphical user interface (GUI) for displaying, navigating, and selecting hierarchical database segments and fields. The preferred embodiment of the present invention novelly uses a hierarchical tree structure that clearly represents the structures of a database and their mutual exclusivity, for easy understanding of and navigation through the various database structures. The user is prevented from selecting segments and fields that are not valid for the selected path thereby ensuring accuracy in the representation of the database data structures. Also, the user may select a path from the top of the hierarchical tree, the root, to a specific segment or field.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is directed to the field of computer-based formats for data management and data storage. More specifically, the present invention is directed to sharing and moving data between different types of data storage formats. Background technique [0002] Many companies store data in multiple formats, such as hierarchical and relational databases. For example, data may be stored in a database, such as the product sold under the trademark IBM IMS Database Manager (IMS). Data may also be stored in data files and accessed by systems such as those sold under the trademark Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS). Data files may be configured by a Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM). Another technique for accessing and storing data is to use Partitioned Data Sets (PDS), commonly used for direct access storage that is divided into partitions. Relational data may be stored in a database, such as the product sold under the trademark IBM DB2. Business...
