ODBC (or OleDB) drivers for your Database

These drivers allows TIMi to read&write into almost all database engines. In general ODBC drivers are faster than OleDB drivers.

For your convenience, we provide you with a local copy of the ODBC & OleDB drivers for the most well-known databases: See here for the ODBC drivers and here for the OleDB drivers.

TIMi is compatible with almost all database engines, old and new: MS-SQL-Server, Oracle, Access, Teradata, DB2, SAP, Sybase, MySQL, Hive…

A scheduling engine

With a scheduling engine, you can run automatically your TIMi data-transformations every day. TIMi is compatible with any scheduling tool but we advise you to use Jenkins because Jenkins is tightly integrated with TIMi: For example, Anatella directly provides an interface that allows to shedule a new Anatella job into Jenkins. You also get a Special Android application that allows you to track (and re-run, if necessary) the completion of your TIMi-based Jenkins tasks.

For your convenience, we provide you with a local copy of Jenkins here (the required Java JVM is also there).

A revision control system

With a revision control system, you can keep track of the different versions of your Anatella data-transformations. TIMi/Anatella is compatible with any versioning system: Git (or TortoiseGit), SVN (or TortoiseSVN), etc.

For your convenience, we provide you with a local copy of TortoiseSVN (our personal favorite) or TortoiseGit.

Python Engine (You must use Anaconda v3.xx)

Download it directly from us here (No administrative privileges required: i.e. Just download & extract the zip file)

Download it from the official Anaconda website here (Administrative privileges are required to run the Anaconda installer tool)

A disk-level encryption tool

When working with sensitive data on your local computer/laptop, it’s quite common to store all your files inside an encrypted drive.

We recommend “Bitlocker” or “TrueCrypt” (Please note that Truecrypt is forbidden inside the USA).

For you comfort, you can download TrueCrypt from us from here.

OleDB Drivers for SAS

Anatella and TIMi read (and write) natively 99% of the datasets produced by SAS (i.e. the .sas7bdat files) *without* requiring the installation of any SAS drivers. However, if you are using compressed or encrypted SAS files (these kind of SAS files are exceptionally rare), then the official OleDB driver created by SAS has to be installed.

You can download the SAS OleDB drivers directly from the SAS website here. For your comfort, a local copy of these drivers is also available here.
