Projects and Jobs
Managing projects
Projects are the working units of Sybase IQ ETL. A project consists of
components and links, which connect components through their ports.
There are basic operations that involve projects (such as creating, deleting,
renaming, saving) and there are complex operations like simulation.
A Sybase IQ ETL project starts with one or multiple source components
and ends with one or more destination components.
The following list summarizes the components:
•A Data Provider component is usually connected to a
Transformation component, a Processing component, or a Data Sink
component.
• Transformation components and Processing components have
input and output ports and can have adjacent components of any type.
• If a Transformation component allows multiple input data streams,
multiple originating Source components are required.
• If a Transformation component has more than a single output of data
streams, each data stream can be connected with a component.
