The Transfer data service allows you to move data between tables within your EBX® repository. The table or dataset you initiate the action from sets the data source. You can then choose the targets and specify any required mappings or transformations.
All EBX® permissions apply to data transfer operations. You cannot transfer to target tables and fields unless you have permission to write data in these locations.
As outlined below, the transfer process includes:
Running the Transfer data service from a table or dataset's Actions menu.
Defining any required mappings or transformations. The add-on automatically maps source fields with those in the target that have the same name. If required, you can use the add-on's drag-n-drop functionality to create or update mappings. If you want to apply transformations to your data, you can use built-in functions to modify data during transfer. For more information on the topics of mapping and transformations, see Map and transform overview.
Saving settings as a template for later reuse. When import operations require the use of transformations or custom mappings, you can use templates to store these settings. This alleviates you from having to redo the same tasks each time you perform a specific import.
