Raima Database Manager (RDM) Archiving — Done Right
Archon’s Raima Database Manager Connector extracts tables, schemas, and historical records from Raima RDM embedded database environments and archives them into open Parquet/Delta Lake format. Built for organizations retiring Raima-backed industrial control systems, medical devices, telecommunications equipment, and embedded edge applications.
Raima RDM is purpose-built for constrained embedded environments like industrial PLCs, medical imaging systems, telecom network elements, and IoT gateways. When those devices or systems reach end-of-life, the embedded databases often contain operational, calibration, event, and compliance records with genuine regulatory obligations.
- Raima JDBC driver / native API extraction from Raima RDM 10.x, 11.x, 12.x, 14.x
- Tables, schemas, network model records, indexes, transactional event logs captured with full schema metadata
- Schema structure, indexes, and stored procedure metadata preserved
- Cross-table query via Archon Analyzer, no Raima Database Manager (RDM) runtime post-archive
- FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU MDR, IEC 62304, NERC CIP retention policy support
Capabilities
Everything You Need for Raima Database Manager (RDM) Data Operations
Embedded database extraction without source system dependency
All Raima RDM tables, schema structures, network model records, and transactional event logs extracted with metadata preserved. No custom extraction scripts or Raima administrative access required.
Industrial and medical device record preservation
Operational records, calibration histories, safety event logs, and device configuration data from Raima-backed industrial and medical systems archived with full context — satisfying sector-specific regulatory mandates after device retirement.
IEC 62304 software lifecycle record archiving
Software lifecycle records required under IEC 62304 for medical device software — including version histories, change records, and validation event logs stored in Raima — archived through Archon before system decommission.
NERC CIP industrial control system compliance
Operational event records and configuration histories from Raima-backed industrial control systems archived with WORM immutability — satisfying NERC CIP data retention requirements for critical infrastructure.
Use Cases
How Enterprises Use the Raima Database Manager (RDM) Connector
01 Medical device and clinical system retirement
Medical devices and clinical systems running Raima-backed databases retired at end-of-life. Archon archives calibration records, patient-relevant event logs, and device configuration histories before decommission — satisfying FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU MDR retention obligations.
02 Industrial control system decommissioning
Industrial PLCs and control systems with Raima embedded databases retired during plant modernization. Archon archives operational event logs, configuration records, and safety histories for NERC CIP compliance.
03 Telecom network element retirement
Telecom network elements with embedded Raima databases retired during infrastructure upgrades. Archon archives network event records and configuration histories before decommission.
04 IoT gateway and edge device migration
IoT gateway and edge devices running Raima-backed applications migrated to modern platforms. Archon archives device event histories and operational records before migration — compliance access preserved without the source hardware.

How It Works
Up and Running in 4 Steps
01
Connect to Raima
Authenticate via Raima JDBC driver or native API to Raima RDM 10.x through 14.x. Archon auto-discovers all schemas, tables, network model records, and transactional event log structures. 02
Map & Configure
Define table scope, network model record handling, and jurisdiction-specific retention schedules for FDA, EU MDR, IEC 62304, or NERC CIP as applicable. 03
Validate & Preview
Dry-run against sample Raima databases. Quality report flags null primary keys, network model anomalies, and data type normalization issues before full extraction. 04
Archive & Monitor
Cryptographic hashes and trusted timestamps applied per table. Data searchable via Archon Analyzer on ingestion.FAQ
Common Questions About the Raima Database Manager (RDM) Connector
- 1. Does Archon support Raima Database Manager (RDM) without requiring DBA involvement?
Yes. Archon uses read-only Raima JDBC driver / native API extraction, no DBA scripts, administrative privileges, or custom extraction code required.
- 2. Can Archon archive Raima Database Manager (RDM) without impacting live application performance?
Yes. Archon uses read-only connections with configurable parallelism and throttle settings while zero production impact during extraction.
- 3. How does Archon handle Raima Database Manager (RDM)-specific data types during archiving?
Archon applies built-in transformation rules to normalize Raima Database Manager (RDM)-specific data types into open Parquet-compatible formats with metadata preservation.
- 4. Is archived Raima Database Manager (RDM) data queryable without the Raima Database Manager (RDM) runtime?
Yes. Archon archives to open Parquet/Delta Lake format which queryable via Archon Analyzer, Apache Spark, Amazon Athena, or any Lakehouse query engine without Raima Database Manager (RDM).
- 5. Does archived Raima Database Manager (RDM) data satisfy GDPR and compliance retention requirements?
Yes. Archon's WORM-immutable, cryptographically hashed Raima Database Manager (RDM) archive satisfies GDPR Article 5, and applicable sector-specific retention mandates.
