can any one tell how to invoke a data migrator process from Java

Hi Ranga,

Did you open a case with Customer Support Services regarding this issue? Have you got a chance to review the suggested online document:

Starting Flows With CMASAP

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

Kerry

I hate to reopen such an old post, but I have the same exact question.

Should I open a ticket instead?

Hi Benicely,

For this issue it would be best to open a case with technical support.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Benicely,

I meant to say Information Builders Customer Support Services.

Thanks again,

Thank you AJ. I will open a case.

The link by Kerry is for an older version. If anyone else has this problem, the solution, for now, is to use Java to call the CMRUN.exe file. I'd post a link to the documentation, but I'm not sure if that's allowed.

Hi benicely,

For documentation, you can refer to the topic name in the "___ chapter in the ___ manual", for example. Or, if you prefer, you can provide the DN (document number).

Cheers!

You can connect to any iDM server using JDBC. The JAR is jlink.jar, the driver: ibi.jdbc.EdaDriver, url example: jdbc:eda://localhost:8116;server=LOOPBACK

You will have to call a custom stored proc that will then will invoke the CMASAP for you. If you wish to have the stats returned as an answerset, then the following will work:

-* Proc name:  runflow.fex
-* Parameter names:
-*   1 - data flow name
-*   2 - application directory
-*   3 - parameters to be passed to the flow
-*       Must be passed as key value pairs seperated by commas
-*       e.g. COUNTRY=ENGLAND,CAR=JAGUAR

-DEFAULTH &1 = 'NONE'
-DEFAULTH &2 = 'baseapp'
-DEFAULTH &3 = ' '

-* following just to prevent prompting
-DEFAULTH &&DEP_1_RC = '99'
-DEFAULTH &&DEP_1_ID = 'UNK'

-* ensure a flow is requested
-IF &1 EQ 'NONE' GOTO :SKIP_ALL;

-* set params
-SET &PARAMS = IF &3 EQ ' ' THEN ' ' ELSE ',' || &3;

EX CMASAP REQ_NAME=&1, CM_ASYNC=OFF, APPDIR=&2, DEP_ALIAS = DEP_1 &3;
-RUN

-TYPE  (ICM18039) DEP_1 &1 Return Code = &&DEP_1_RC 
-*	
-* call the stats
 EX ETLSM JOBNAME='&&DEP_1_ID'
-RUN

-:SKIP_ALL
