IRI RowGen

IRI RowGen synthesizes and populates structurally correct test data for relational databases, files, reports, and semi-structured targets. Jobs use metadata, generation rules, and the CoSort engine; it can blend generated and selected real values.

When should you consider it?

Best for teams that need high-volume, metadata-driven data population across related tables and heterogeneous file/database targets, with CLI/batch automation and optional integration into the broader Voracity toolchain.

Editorial fit assessment based on the sources below.

What are the limits?

Commercial licensing is quote-based. RowGen is script- and metadata-oriented and can require technical expertise; masking and lifecycle workflows may involve companion IRI products or Voracity rather than standalone RowGen.

Documented means a cited vendor source describes this scoped capability. Not verified means the reviewed evidence cannot establish it. Neither is a hands-on test result.

How is it deployed and licensed?

Available standalone, bundled with IRI Data Manager products, or within a Voracity subscription; runs on supported Windows, Linux, and Unix environments, with command-line/batch execution for pipelines.

Proprietary commercial product; sold by quote and purchase order, alone or through a Voracity subscription. Public list price was not found.
