TruxtonETL

This class provides capability to participate in Truxton's ETL pipeline. You can implement your own form of file exploitation. You can subscribe to events...

Attributes and Methods

addarg(argument)

This is used to build the command line arguments for the process. Truxton will automatically parse the command line for you but this allows you to programmatically force command line options.

addtype(file_type)

This is how you programmatically tell Truxton what types of files you want to process. It will cause Truxton to write records to the ETLRoute table. A new record will be added (if one does not already exist) with the ETLQueueName column set to this ETL's queue name and the FileTypeID column set to the file type specified in this function call.

The file_type parameter should be the type of file you'd like to process.

depot

This property is used in generating the depot filename.
