Sun Data Integrator Project System

The project system acts as a container for holding the ETL files and provides ant-based build support. Building the project creates two types of artifacts: those related to the Service Engine and those related to the ETL Engine. For building the ETL Engine artifacts, the project system delegates the responsibility from the ETL file to the code generation module of the Data Integrator Editor. The project system builds the Service Engine artifacts on its own. Service Engine artifacts are the files etlmap.xml and jbi.xml. The jbi.xml file contains information about the provisioning and consuming endpoint related to the service unit. The etlmap.xml contains the map of the endpoint name and the engine file to be used for the particular endpoint. When an ETL service endpoint gets a request , the ETL Service Engine picks up the correct engine file using etlmap.xml and invokes the ETL Engine with this file.
