Merlin UI for ASAMCommander — Launch, schedule, and monitor server‑side analyses without leaving your ODS web app. Standardized execution, resource management, and full data lineage. First release targeted end of 2025.

HighQSoft is introducing the Merlin UI, a new module for ASAMCommander that brings server-side analysis and job orchestration right into the end-user’s web application. Engineers can discover data, launch analyses, and monitor pipelines end-to-end—without leaving ASAMCommander.

 

Why it matters

As data volumes grow, manual, desktop-based analysis tools don’t scale. Merlin is a second-generation, technology-independent framework that standardizes execution so teams get faster, comparable, and reproducible results.

 

What's new?

The following features are introduced:

 

For End-users

  • Start Job toolbar action available across multiple modules to launch analyses from within ASAMCommander.

  • Job bookmarks to quickly re‑run jobs or review prior results.

For business admins

  • Template Manager to control which job templates are available to end users.

  • Template Builder (Code & Graphical) to design and operationalize evaluations.

  • Job Monitoring & Logging for live status, history, and traceability.

  • Data Lineage to trace software, processes, and all interactions with your datasets.

What you can do with it

ASAMCommander is a modular ASAM ODS web application for data exploration and management. Out of the box, ASAMCommander already integrates expert tools like AVL Concerto, MATLAB, and NI DIAdem, and supports exporting ATFx, CSV, and MDF4—so you can keep preferred workflows in one place.

Merlin extends this with:

  • Technology-independent executors (Python, Java, MATLAB, Spark)

  • Resource management, queuing/scheduling, and event triggers (e.g., on import)

  • Standardized, comparable results with full data lineage

Template types supported include importing, data validation, processing/analysis, statistics generation, archiving, and maintenance tasks.
