Downloading

Look for clearly marked ETL Framework downloads. On Windows and OS X Data Explorer can be downloaded as an installer. Use archive downloads for other operating systems.

Installing

There are two ways to install ETL Framework: using installer or extracting files from the archive.

When using installer just execute it and follow instructions on the screen.

OS X installer is offered in a form of self-extracting DMG file. When prompted drag and drop ETL Framework folder to the Applications.

When installing from archive you will need to manually extract files using utility provided by operating system. All files are contained in the enclosing folder named etl-version.

Installing from archive will not add any entries to the Start menu, add desktop launchers or register the software in the registry.

Configuring

ETL Framework comes pre-configured to provide highest levels of performance and compatibility.

All jars under lib folder automatically added to the classpath on the start-up. Files under plugin folder are loaded based on rules and available licenses.

ETL framework requires a valid not expired license. Licenses are located under ETL_FRAMEWORK_HOME\license folder (*.lic files) or under ETL_FRAMEWORK_HOME\lib (*.jar files).

Note: ETL Framework comes with a 20-days evaluation license. It will expire after 20 days since the first use. You can a buy a commercial license which will never expire. License can be delivered as a lic or jar file. Using jars for licenses decreases dependency on external folders.

Adding JDBC drivers

JDBC drivers are just jar files so you can simply add them to the ETL_FRAMEWORK_HOME\lib folder and they will be automatically added to the classpath.
