Migrating schemas within a data pipeline has traditionally been a complex and time-consuming task for many users. However, Striim’s latest 5.0 release introduces an integrated schema creation feature that simplifies this process significantly, making it more accessible and efficient. This feature is integrated into the configuration process of many adapters, providing users with an automated and streamlined approach to schema management.
What Does Integrated Schema Creation Do?
The integrated schema creation feature in Striim enables users to automatically create schemas on their target endpoints directly through the Striim configuration panel. This capability is particularly beneficial for users who manage complex data pipelines, allowing them to initiate the schema creation step of migration with minimal effort, seamlessly from source to target. By setting the CreateSchema flag to True in the configuration, users can initiate this feature.
How Do You Use It?
To use the integrated schema creation feature, follow these steps:
- Configuration to Enable Schema Creation:
- Source – Database Reader: Set the CreateSchema option to True.
- Target Adapter: Set the CDDLAction to Process.
- This configuration enables the source adapter to resolve the interested tables and objects, fetching their structure. It then publishes schema creation events to the stream for all the objects involved. Once schema events are published, data events sequentially follow for the objects, ensuring that data is synchronized with the newly created schema.

How Does Striim Add Value?
Striim’s integrated schema creation feature is a game-changer for anyone managing complex data pipelines. Before Striim’s 5.0 release, users had to perform schema creation through standalone utilities or wizards, which often involve multiple steps and external processes. The integrated schema creation feature eliminates the need for these separate tools and additional manual steps. By simplifying the user experience, reducing complex steps and skills by fully automating the process of table creation on target endpoints, Striim reduces implementation time and thus faster returns on the investments. This feature highlights Striim’s simplicity of providing robust, user-friendly solutions that enhance productivity and efficiency in data management. Whether you’re handling a small database or a large-scale data environment, Striim’s integrated schema creation is a powerful tool for streamlining your data operations.
