Tool Overview

Tool Overview

DT is aimed at configuring multiple, dynamic data flows, and managing those flows without relying on programming resources, with an easy to use interface to organize them in logically consistent job sequences, to be run on schedule/on demand:

Extract and transform raw data from third party tools in order to create and update data into erwin CW Exchange repository or into erwin EA Agile workspaces

Extract data from erwin CW Exchange repository or from erwin EA Agile workspaces in order to update third party tools.

Configure operation to run on a schedule: after the initial configuration and test, the data flows can run automatically with no need for the user to intervene.

From now on, “model” refers to data logically organized either into CW Exchange repository or into erwin EA Agile workspaces.

DT can therefore be classified as a tool that enables users to:

Maintain model data aligned with external sources

oGet raw data from external data source via adapters

oTransform data using XLST Transformation library

oMap data to the model objects and load into the model

Export and publish model data

oUnload data from the model, using custom filters

oTransform data using XLST Transformation library

oUpload external databases, post data to cloud systems or send files to external folder data to destination

Manage operations

oBack up data

oSchedule the data flows to be executed

oReview audit logs

oConfigure email notification alerts

DT offers a number of ready-to-use standard adapters that cover a wide number of integration needs. This enables the application of a standard approach to integration requirements.

To ensure safe data operations, all updating activities are performed using standard APIs, and are preceded by data mapping and consistency checks. A user operation log, e-mail notification, scheduled operation log and system log are also provided (sever errors are notified via e-mail to system administrator).

DT stores all the necessary settings (environment parameters, access control and profiling, job scheduling, workflows, adapter parameters and rules for file handling) in an embedded database (users do not need to interact with this database directly, a tool administrator may do).

User may interact with the tool during workflow testing activities, checking data previews and if necessary, discarding the updates.

Licensing

Licensing

If no valid license is found on the system, the user is required to provide a license key when DT starts.

For offline licensing, a request code must be generated. This window should not be closed until the product activation is complete, as a new request would otherwise need to be generated.

This code should be sent to erwin support, who will in turn provide an activation code specific to the request. This code should be used to activate the product. The activation code used must be specific to the request code provided to support; generating a new request code would necessitate a new activation code.
