8. Technical Considerations
when migrating from embedded to standalone

9. CloverETL as embedded component is no longer available
CloverDX is offered as a standalone product
CloverDX consists of:
Key differences CloverDX vs embedded CloverETL
CloverDX Designer – desktop application for prototyping, testing
debugging and manual run of data transformations
CloverDX Server – an enterprise runtime server for executing,
automating and orchestrating data jobs

10. Standalone enterprise data platform for
automation, orchestration and monitoring
Design “philosophy” has not fundamentally
changed but it’s been greatly enhanced
Web-based management interface for
support and admin roles
Integration with Designer
(deploy, modify or monitor jobs)
Notifications, logging, security
Migrating to CloverDX Server
4 major releases/year
Frequent bug fixes
Quick-response technical support
New jobflow orchestration
Added nested subgraphs
Added debugging, metadata propagation
Added connectivity to Amazon S3, Salesforce,
SOAP WebServices, REST, Tableau, Hadoop
HDFS, Hadoop M/R
Benefits

11. Engine command-line runtime removed and
no longer possible to use
CloverDX needs to be installed separately
from MDM
CloverDX Server is a continually service vs.
die-after-finish
TL/CTL1 is no longer available, only Java
(will need to update existing code to new
interfaces) and (newer, incompatible) CTL2
– will need to update existing code
Migrating to CloverDX Server
CloverETL Engine 'callouts' are no longer available
AddressDoctor integation has been removed from
CloverDX
You’ll need to migrate/test existing graphs and code
Need to rewrite/update solution-specific Java code
(new custom Java components available)
Notable Challenges

12. 1. Identify and replace deprecated components
2. Migrate (update or rewrite) any Java/TL/CTL1 code
3. Convert legacy parameter files (.prm) - semi-automated
4. Test CloverDX-MDM interactions
5. For AddressDoctor users, migrate to alternatives or use Java API
Additionally, consider the following:
6. Adopt jobflows for large job orchestration
7. Break down complex graphs into subgraphs
8. Utilize CloverDX Server’s schedulers, triggers, API
Migrating to CloverDX Server
Steps you’ll need to take:
