DataSelf ETL+ Server

DataSelf ETL+ Server is a server-side software suite engineered to provide metadata along with optional services for DataSelf ETL+ deployments.

DataSelf ETL+ installations are responsible for the extraction, transformation, and loading of data into a data warehouse. The DataSelf ETL+ Server stores metadata which provide ETL+ installations with connection instructions to the source databases and the target data warehouse, the list of tables and columns to extract, and extract SQL Statements.
