Data transfer - Create connection

The main menu "Edit / New connection" option opens a dialog in which a new data transfer can be created. This option is available if the "Data transfer" option is selected on the left-hand side.

Default settings

Enter the name and optionally a description of the connection here.

Type of data source / Type of target

Select the desired type here.

Transformation type

The type of data transfer is defined here. Possible options are "Copy data record" or "Groovy script".

Transformation type "Groovy script"

Script file

First, select the storage location for the script file. The portal directory "internal/cfg/datatransfer/scripts/" is automatically suggested here. Additionally, Intrexx will generate a unique filename, consisting of the character string "Tr" and a GUID with the extension .groovy. If you prefer a different save location, please note that the directory must be reachable from the server. Furthermore, the selected file name must be unique in the portal.

Select file

Opens a dialog where the file can be selected.

Open Intrexx editor

Opens the internal Groovy script editor.

Open external editor

This link is displayed if the path to an external editor is entered via the main menu "Extras / Options / General / Editor settings".

Finish data transfer

In the final step of configuring a data transfer, you have the option of executing the transfer immediately. If the "Execute transfer immediately" setting is selected and active, the data transfer will be started when you click on "Finish".
