Data Integration with Sybase Avaki Studio vii
Preface
This guide, Data Integration with Sybase Avaki Studio, explains how to use Avaki Stu-
dio software. With Studio, you can provision data sources into the Avaki data catalog
and create data services that combine and transform your data. You can also manage
your data catalog.
Note This book and the product’s user interfaces refer to Sybase Avaki EII soft-
ware as Avaki or Avaki Data Grid.
Audience
This book is written for readers with an understanding of Avaki provisioning and inte-
gration tools, including database connectors, database operations, and data services.
These tools are described in the Sybase Avaki EII Overture, which you should read
before using Avaki Studio.
We recommend that Studio users know how to use a reporting tool such as Crystal
Reports or Excel.
Knowledge of SQL is necessary if you want to create your own database operations. It
is helpful but not necessary for understanding view model operators, many of which
are based on SQL concepts.
Familiarity with the JavaScript language is helpful for Avaki Studio users, but not
always necessary. Some view models can be completed by users with no JavaScript at
