APPENDIX B
Sybase ETL Server
The Sybase ETL Server is part of the Sybase IQ ETL product suite. It is
the central component of the GRID architecture. This appendix describes
installation, usage, and architecture of the Sybase IQ ETL application.
The following terms are used:
• Sybase ETL Server — The server application itself, which provides
several independent services.
• GRID engine — Part of the server application, which actually
executes jobs or projects.
• Server console — The console window used to interact with the
server application.
GRID architecture
The GRID architecture consists of several independent instances within a
network. Each instance exposes certain services to all other peer nodes.
Currently, the server is hosting the Engine Service that allows projects to
execute.
Sybase IQ ETL uses the GRID network nodes for parallel execution of
projects and jobs, which improves scalability of transformation speed.
