Scripting overview

In the Etlworks Integrator, you can create very complex data integration Flows without ever writing a single line of code. However, there are certain tasks which are better handled by using the built-in scripting language. Examples include looping through inbound files, calculating a field's value on the fly, and validating data. The Etlworks Integrator uses JavaScript as the default scripting language, but it is also possible to use Python.

JavaScript Tutorials

The Etlworks Integrator includes a JavaScript engine called Nashorn. It is an embedded scripting engine inside Java applications. There are plenty of tutorials for Nashorn, such as:

• Java 8 Nashorn Tutorial
• Oracle Nashorn: A Next-Generation JavaScript Engine for the JVM
