Starfish ETL FAQs

Since Starfish ETL is currently on-premise Windows software there is no way to access the software directly from your phone. However, Starfish can be configured to send emails and text message notifications so you can keep informed of status that way. We do know of several clients who use LogMeIn from their smart phones to remotely log in and access the software that way. Later this year we will be releasing a cloud (iPaaS) version of Starfish and at that time it will be completely browser-based and mobile compatible. (more)

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. (more)
