Oninit® Log Ripper — Get Your Informix Data Wherever It Needs To Go

Most businesses don't run on a single database any more. Reports live in PostgreSQL, analytics flows through Kafka, the warehouse runs on MySQL, the new platform is on Db2 — and the data of record is still sitting in Informix. Getting it from there to everywhere else, without slowing the live system down, is the problem Oninit® Log Ripper solves.

Log Ripper is a real-time change capture tool built specifically for IBM Informix. Whenever a row is inserted, updated, or deleted, Log Ripper notices within seconds and forwards that change wherever you want it: another Informix instance, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, IBM Db2, a flat SQL file, a JSON or CSV stream, or a Kafka topic. It does this without touching the production database — it reads from Informix's own transaction log.

What you get

• Live, continuous replication out of Informix to almost any modern destination.
• No application changes, no triggers, no impact on transactional throughput.
• A single tool that covers reporting copies, cloud migrations, analytics pipelines, and audit feeds.
• Captured rows preserved with full type fidelity — DATETIME qualifiers, INTERVAL, 32-digit DECIMAL, BOOLEAN, embedded NULs, NCHAR/NVARCHAR multibyte, BLOB/CLOB.
• Backed by Oninit, the team known across the Informix community as "the Down System Specialists".

If you have Informix and you need its data somewhere else — fast, reliably, and without disturbing the system of record — Log Ripper is the shortest path between the two.
