Transformation and job steps with Atrium Integrator

The  adapter supports Input, Output, File Input, and Insert or Update steps. Each step type is implemented in  as a  adapter plug-in.

Input steps

Input steps in a transformation or job read data from a data source. To read  data and export it into other formats such as .csv file or XML file, AR System includes the AR Reader adapter plug-in, or ARInput step. For more information, see ARInput-step.

Output steps

Output steps in a transformation or job write data to a data source. To import data into  from an external source (such as a flat file, .csv file, XML file, or relational database tables),  includes the AR Writer adapter plug-in, or AROutput step. For more information, see AROutput-step.

File input step

 includes an adapter plug-in for transformations and jobs, the ARX File Input step. Its primary purpose is to read data from a  .arx file. For more information, see ARX-File-Input-step.

Variable input

The ARInput, AROutput, and ARX File Input adapter plug-ins, as well as the AR Connection module, support variables as input. The server name, port number, and RPC number can be defined as variables when defining a  connection (or AR Connection) for an ARInput step or an AROutput step. The .arx file name in the ARX File Input step can also be defined as a variable. For more information, see Variable-form.

Insert or Update step

AR Upsert step in a transformation or job writes or updates data to a data source. To import data into  from an external source (such as a flat file, .csv file, XML file, or relational database tables),  includes the AR update insert plug-in, or AR Upsert step. For more information, see AR-Upsert-step.
