Version 4.0.0

New features

Released: March 2021
The TIBCO EBX® Data Exchange Add-on (New) allows you to integrate data from a source location into a target. Additionally, it can transform the data to meet business and technical requirements of disparate applications and systems.
This release allows you to import and export using CSV and Excel formats at the TIBCO EBX® table level. No configuration is required to initiate an import or export operation. The add-on provides the following graphical elements and features to support import and export:
  • Automatic mappings are generated between source and target fields. Data mappings display as lines between source and targets. Where possible, the add-on generates these automatically and adds basic transformations if required. It will also alert you visually to possible errors or warnings.
  • Drag and drop functionality to create mappings and transformations when required.
  • Pop-up editors to define transformation functions. The add-on includes several built-in transformation functions to cover common use cases.
  • Templates that save mappings and other configuration options for reuse.
The following list provides links to additional topics and tasks:
Introduction to the add-on
For a more in-depth overview of the add-on and your potential interaction with it, see About the add-on
Importing
For an introduction to the import process, see Import overview.
For instructions on importing, see Importing to a table.
Exporting
For an introduction to the export process, see Export overview.
For instructions on exporting, see Exporting a table.
Mapping and transformations
Map and transform overview provides a look at how the add-on implements the concepts of mappings and transformations.
Mapping interface reference highlights the user interface used for mapping and transformation tasks during data integration. Additionally, it provides an example of using a transformation function.
You can refer to Transformation function reference to see a list and description of the add-on's built-in transformation functions.
