Starfish ETL FAQ

Yes there are a number of ways to extend the functionality of Starfish ETL. First, within the data maps we have a number of built-in functions to help handle data translations (lookups, conversions, date/time, etc) however there are often times when you need to perform more complicated changes and that is where scripting comes in. We support scripting in both VB Script or C#. Basically anything you can do with those languages can be used within a map to process things like data translations, file manipulations, workflow and more. Also, if you need to work with a system that is currently not supported by Starfish ETL, we offer a Connector SDK. You implement the CRUD methods in .NET/C# and the finished library works as a plugin within the application. You can then use Starfish with your custom connector to migrate or integrate data.
