DataBridge

Components

DataBridge Basic Components

• Application Properties File
• Application JAR File
• Support JAR Files
• Java Launcher (usually a BAT file)

Application Properties File

The application properties file defines specific DataBridge actions (“tasks”). It contains all the information necessary for the application to perform a single data move.

Application JAR File

The Java JAR file (crma_app_databridge.jar) containing the DataBridge application itself. The program is launched by having Java run the Application class (com.mmm.crma.databridge.Application).

Support JAR Files

CRMA and vendor JAR files are required by DataBridge:

• Common Library: CRMA common code; crma_lib_common.jar
• Logger: Log4J logging module; log4j-1.2.13.jar

Java Launcher

The launcher is anything that can start Java and pass it parameters. A common and easy launcher is a Windows BAT (or CMD; same thing) file. The BAT file can generate the CLASSPATH as well as configure Java and supply application parameters.
