What's New?

Altova's new Altova® mapforce 2004 is a powerful, visual data mapping tool, which auto-generates custom mapping code in multiple output languages such as XSLT and Java, to enable programmatic XML-to-XML or Database-to-XML data transformations.

Altova® mapforce 2004 is the hassle-free transit for moving data from one format to another, enabling efficient information reuse. Altova® mapforce 2004 provides a unique XML-based approach to enterprise data integration. Using Altova® mapforce 2004, data architects can simply draw visual mappings from relational databases to any data model expressed in XML Schema. Altova® mapforce 2004 will then auto-generate the software program code required to programmatically marshal data from the targeted database to the target XML schema, for use in a customized server-side data integration application.

Altova® mapforce 2004 supports all commercial relational databases, including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle9i (via OCI), or any database with ADO or ODBC connectivity.

Altova® mapforce 2004 is a data integration productivity enhancer, generating thousands of lines of program code and XSLT stylesheets which would take hours to do manually. Altova mapforce 2004 provides an intuitive graphical user interface for defining XML-to-XML mappings based on XML schema. Simply load any number of XML schemas and visually define mappings between target and source. As a convenience, Altova® mapforce 2004 provides a tabbed design window which allows you to preview both the generated XSLT stylesheet and sample output as you work.

Altova® mapforce 2004 can handle the most advanced XML data mapping scenarios thanks to a comprehensive data mapping function library, which enables the data architect to define mapping rules based on conditions, boolean logic, string operations, mathematical computations, or any user-defined function. Altova® mapforce 2004 is the most hassle-free way to move data from relational databases to XML.

Altova® xmlspy 2004 is a software development tool for designing, editing and debugging enterprise-class applications, involving XML, XML Schema, XSL/XSLT, (Enterprise Edition adds SOAP, WSDL and Web services) technologies. It is an essential productivity enhancer for J2EE, Microsoft .NET and database developers. New features in Altova® xmlspy 2004 include Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Integration, XML Differencing, XSLT 2.0 Analyzer (W3C working draft), Enhanced Database Connectivity, Generation of Project Files, and many other usability and performance enhancements.
