Embedding CloverETL GUI in custom Java application

CloverDX Platform
1

Hello,

We are in an analysis phase of an important project, evaluating the architectures available to cover our requirements.
One part of the project focuses on extracting data from multiple source, transforming it and producing export in CSV, fixed width, XML and Excel file. The number of exports is quite important (around 500) and it is important for us to store many information associated with each export (export owner, customer, reason the export, validity) to help us maintaining these reports.
CloverETL seems to be a possible option but it does not allow us to easily manage huge number of report so we are thinking of using CloverETL as the engine to generate exports but using our own application, embedding CloverETL GUI, to define workflow and all metadata around it.
This will also allow us to build dedicated screens to search in reports using various criterias.

Is it possible to embed CloverETL GUI in our own Java application ?
Do you see an alternative to this proposed integration ?

Regards,

Eric

Hi,

CloverETL GUI is an Eclipse plugin and thus “embeddable” into any other Eclipse application. It also offers API which allows it to be extended. The easiest extensions are new components or wizards.
Not sure what do you mean by “reports”.

Several companies use CloverETL engine and create just graph/transformation generation utility which takes metadata, some kind of template and create transformation graph on the fly.

If you would be interested in technical discussion about your particular case and what Clover can offer, let us know at info@cloveretl.com - leave your contact details.
