New Features and Improvements

Today, we released a number of improvements for our products

 

ASAMCommander: Catalog Editor

The release includes several enhancements for managing catalogs in ASAM ODS (Physical Dimensions, Units, Quantities, and groups). The  Catalog Editor provides comprehensive CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations and additional features like transaction control, drag and drop functionality, and support for managing catalog elements and their instances.

 

 

HQL: Transaction Handling for Outer Sessions

This update allows creating transactions outside of HQL and requesting HQL to use them. This lifts the limitation of only one transaction per ASAM ODS session.

 

 

Merlin/SAM: New Validation Job Pipeline

A new Validation Job Pipeline runs custom Python scripts on imported data if certain criteria are met. The scripts can generate new parameters or measurements based on the data.

 

 

Merlin/SAM: Check New Job Pipeline for Filter Criteria

Introduces a Job Pipeline for checking newly imported measurements against filter criteria stored in the ASAM ODS database. The pipeline stages include applying filter criteria, copying processing results, and triggering validation.

 

 

Merlin/SAM : Adaptation to Python Repository

Implements a git storage for loading remote stage functions for Job Pipelines making it easier to manage and update scripts.

 

All updates enhance the functionality and flexibility of the Test Data Management Ecosystem providing robust tools for data validation, transaction handling, and catalog management.

What’s the Deal with ASAMCommander

 

Test Data Management can be a headache. Multiple proprietary formats, incompatible data structures, and a never-ending stream of new information can make it difficult, if not impossible, to turn raw data into actionable knowledge.
At HighQSoft, we specialize in wrangling your measurement data into something you can use today and in the future. We offer multiple products and solutions to help you organize and manage data, regardless of volume and format.

 

Our ASAMCommander is a test data management application based on the ASAM ODS standard (https://www.asam.net/standards/detail/ods/). As a modular web application, it comprises loosely coupled, functional units called modules that form a customizable experience for end-users, system and data administrators, or data analysts.

 

The basic version of ASAMCommander is an out-of-the-box application that provides all end-user use cases for data exploration (navigation, search, visualization), expert tool integration (e.g., AVL Concerto, Mathworks Matlab, NI DIAdem), and data exports (ASAM ATFx, CSV, ASAM MDF).

 

The Enterprise Edition of ASAMCommander is suited for Global Test Data Management solutions based on the AReS Libertas ODS6 Platform. System administration features include system logging, data lineage, and data retention. Our Merlin Analysis Framework provides all features for complete automation of analysis pipelines. ASAMCommander Enterprise allows customization, and new modules, features, and workflows are easy to add or integrate.

Release of IIOP Gateway 1.2

You are still using an ASAM ODS 5 server with CORBA? You would like to migrate your system but have many tools and processes relying on ASAM ODS 5 API.

 

We can help! With the IIOP Gateway bridges ASAM ODS 5 clients to ASAM ODS 6 systems. Thus, you can run an ASAM ODS 6 server such as our ARes Server or AReS Libertas ODS Platform while taking time on migrating tools and scripts using ASAM ODS 5.

 

The IIOP Gateway is now available in version 1.2.

HQL 3.2 - New version released

Today, we released a new version of our HighQSoft Query Language.

This version fixes a problem that occurs with inconsistent unit tables. Units should be unique and assigned to a physical dimension. If this is not the case HQL could not resolve the mapping between unit and unit ID. But this is necessary, because the ASAM ODS server for attribute values and mass data always provides a unit ID, which then has to be mapped by HQL to the corresponding string presentation.

 

Also, HQL now contains an experimental Performance Analyzer that can be used to obtain information and statistical data about HQL commands and execution times

HQL is available as

  • HQL Command-Line Tool
    (ASAM ODS 5, ASAM ODS 6, ASAM ATFx-read)
  • HQL Library
    (ASAM ODS 5, ASAM ODS 6, ASAM ATFx-read)
  • Matlab ODS Toolbox
    (ASAM ODS 5, ASAM ODS 6, ATFx-read)
  • HQL Web Service
    (container/standalone, ASAM ODS 5, ASAM ODS 6)

 

HQL is a versatile and easy-to-learn query language to access measurement data in ASAM ODS solutions. The HQL library assists data analysts and engineers in their daily work to evaluate data and helps developers to integrate new tools and processes into the enterprise test data management solution.
