Can I access to the messaging system used by the Event Replicator (e.g. webMethods EntireX) so that I can integrate the real-time Adabas changes to some other application by using an ETL tool like Informatica or Data Stage ? Has anyone experience about such transformations using ETL ?
Is flat file export supported by the Event Replicator as a target system? Do you think I should use flat file exports first and then utilize the flat files within the ETL tool ? In that case, how does it reflects the updates / deletes to the flat files ?
The answer to your questions is that the Event Replicator supports all these options.
You can send replicated output to a messaging system and pick it up from there.
Please note, that you have to be logged in to be able to see the downloads.
Or you can send replication output to a flat file, in which case it will be recorded in a CLOG Type manner, which you would have to copy with USEREXIT2 into a GDG.
This is documented in the Event Replicator documentation (under “Application Programmer’s Reference”) how the output records are structured and under “Creating a Sequential Output File”.
