NAME
Datahub::Factory - A conveyor belt which transports data from a data source to a data sink.
SYNOPSIS
dhconveyor [ARGUMENTS] [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
Datahub::Factory is a command line conveyor belt which automates three tasks:
- Data is fetched automatically from a local or remote data source.
- Data is converted to an exchange format.
- The output is pushed to a data sink.
Datahub::Factory fetches data from several sources as specified by the Importer settings, executes a Fix and sends it to a data sink, set by Exporter. Several importer and exporter modules are supported.
Datahub::Factory contains Log4perl support to monitor conveyor belt operations.
Note: This toolset is not a generic tool. It has been tailored towards the functional requirements of the Flemish Art Collection use case.
CONFIGURATION
Datahub::Factory uses a general configuration file called settings.ini. It can be located at /etc/datahub-factory/settings.ini or conf/settings.ini. The one in /etc takes priority. An example file is provided at conf/settings.example.ini. It is in INI format.
It has two parts, a [General] block that contains some generic options, and (optionally) multiple module-specific blocks called [module_Module_name]. For a list of module options, see the documentation for every module.
