PIP is the database management infrastructure at the heart of our FIS
Profile real-time banking application. For the first time, the
infrastructure has been separated from the financial application code
and made available as a separate software layer under the GNU General
Public License (GPL). The web page is at
http://www.fidelityinfoservices.com/FNFIS/Markets/NonFinancialIndustries/Healthcare/PIP/default.htm
and the software is available at Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/
projects/pip) as a software appliance (QEMU virtual machine).
Caveats:
1. Although the underlying engine is mature, the packaging is brand
new. At this time, it is better characterized as expert friendly than
user friendly. If you want to play with it, please start with the
Readme.
2. For anyone interested in using it to access an existing application
(e.g., VistA), PIP does not have a tool to map globals in an existing
application. You can create tables and access them, but to access
existing global variables, you will need to write code to map between
them.
