CloverETL Server HTTP Launch Services

HTTP Launch Services allows for easy conversion of any Clover transformation into a WEB service.

Converting existing transformation into a WEB service is as easy as creating simple launch configuration on CloverETL Server. Transformation becomes accessible under specified URL (e.g. /launch/mountains/ with user/pwd: clover/clover) and any browser can be used to execute it.

Data for the transformation can be provided inside a POST request generated by a WEB browser and result of such transformation (be it simple status or real data) will be delivered back in HTTP response as an attachment. Depending on the browser used and output type, the response/data can be displayed directly by the browser.

Execution of transformation can be protected via Server's User security module. Moreover, based on user's credentials, different transformation can be executed (under the same service name) which allows, for example, generation of different output format for different users of the service.
