The tool also supports The Dynamic Layout/Template Mapping feature in Astera Centerprise that allows users to create a template dataflow that can be used to process multiple files and generate copies of the same dataflow, without changing the mapping links individually for each source dataset. Upon execution, Centerprise replaces the values dynamically and generates a new dataflow automatically for all source files.Screenshot of the two types of transformations supported by Astera Centerprise: record level and set level transformation. Record level transformations are used to create derived values by applying a Lookup, Function, or Expression to fields from a single record. Set level transformations, on the other hand, operate on a group of records and may result in the Joining, Reordering, Eliminating, or aggregating of records.

Astera Centerprise is a versatile and affordable data integration tool that has proven to be highly valuable in various use cases. Users have found that the software is commonly used to generate files from a data warehouse in proprietary formats and send them to vendors. It is also utilized for automated report generation, inventory alerts, and scheduled email tasks. Additionally, Astera Centerprise is often employed for ETL processes, allowing for seamless movement and transformation of data between different sources based on specific business rules.

One of the key use cases of Astera Centerprise is syncing a legacy database to a more web-friendly database, which requires the creation of a custom database driver. Users have successfully leveraged the software for this purpose. Another significant use case is integrating Salesforce with various ERP systems, providing an intuitive user interface for exchanging data between these platforms. Furthermore, Astera Centerprise has been instrumental in providing visibility into issues with moving data from legacy systems to the application's database, reducing both time and technical skills required.

The software simplifies the process of building integrations and small tasks through its drag-and-drop GUI and wide range of data connections and functions. For instance, it is widely used for importing data into Microsoft Dynamics AX, Salesforce, and other in-house built applications, making it easier to map and integrate the data. Moreover, Astera Centerprise streamlines data integration processes by enabling analysts to connect to various data sources and perform complex transformations seamlessly.

There was our client security issue. I submitted the support ticket and request the same day meeting with our client. I got the response within an hour and have the meeting with our client to resolve the issue. This was quick turnaround and very helpful.

Yes, last year I was stuck to design a solution to generate the outbound EDI 810 (Invoice) file using my Integration dataflow. Their support really helped me to find the solution and i was able to implement it.

Last time we had issues with our license (which we actually missed to pay due to an internal issue). The support was very responsive and helped with getting the license ready last minute and to avoid an interruption of the service. I consider this exceptional because it was our fault in the end.

I had trouble with a new version that I needed to install (manually). There is/was an issue with the installation process with my particular computer. The issue existed just with my environment. Team members on my side were able to install the software and I was able to install it on some virtual servers. The support team jumped on a call with me and I was able to show them the issues and they attempted to troubleshoot with me. Not being able to immediately figure out the issue, I was given pre-extracted .msi files in order to facilitate a workaround install for the time being.

1st time I utilized the product, I was attempting to move through the tool a 1GB file. I kept running out of memory. I was up against an extremely aggressive timeline, so I reached out to Astera for support and within a few hours, I had what I needed to continue.

We had an issue where some of our nightly production jobs where intermittently raising missing data source errors when the server was under heavy load. The errors happened intermittently and at different times in the night cycle. We alerted the support team and sent them our data flows and job schedule. Mike and his support team worked major overtime and into the weekend on the problem to isolate it. They were able to recreate the issue but only on certain machines with certain OS patch revisions. Needless to say, they figured out what was happening and come up with a patch. We applied the patch and the problem disappeared.
