Whether you are building a data warehouse based upon your enterprise application, specifying a report, or wanting to incorporate key metadata into your information management strategy, Saphir is designed to help you get the job done effectively.
Navigation of Tables, Fields and Relationships
Saphir has powerful and intuitive dialogs for navigating and browsing complex metadata.
The Saphir Repository can easily store and manage metadata extracted from multiple system instances.
Powerful query facilities for finding tables and fields without having to know the 'internal' name
Saphir's search features enable the user to find tables by a range of criteria. Once the relevant table is located, the user can drill into the full details of attributes, indexes and other related tables.
Browse by Program and Module
The Saphir module 'tree' presents a hierarchy of application modules, sub-modules and tables, allowing all tables belonging to a given module to be located.
In the case of SAP, Saphir allows navigation by SAP Component, Program or Transaction enabling users to determine the actual Tables used by the selected Object.
In the case of Siebel, Saphir allows navigation by Application, Screens and Views, enabling users to understand the links between a Siebel Screen and the Underlying data structure via the Business Component layer.
Create Subject Areas
With Saphir, you can easily create sub-models to isolate and manage important sets of tables. Using this feature in combination with Saphir's search features, you can quickly reduce the number of tables to meaningful subject areas to support specific projects.
ER Diagrammer
Saphir allows the rapid preview of subject areas as ER Diagrams before final export to your chosen CASE tool for full downstream data modeling.
