Abstract:
Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed for specifying an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process. For example, systems and methods are provided for specifying the ETL process through ETL diagrams, and allowing ETL diagrams with different components to be easily traversed. Behaviors of underlying engine technology of the ETL process may be encapsulated so that users may build a job or data flow of the ETL process without knowing specific details of the underlying engine technology.
