How do I get started with a first project, any input would be great.

Hi bizamajig,

Thanks for your interest. The guideline is
1. Lets determine if Apatar supports the connectivity you need (source and target). I know Great Plains supports a number of database engine options including c-tree, pervasive, and MSSQL. Which database is your GP instance running? I assume you want bizamajig database would be the target? What database is that, MySQL?

2. Could you describe the business logic of data transformation - what are the data inputs (how many tables/fields involved), outputs and logic of the transformation?

3. Is it going to be a one-time, or recurring transformation? Will the transformation be used by one or many bizamajig users?

I'm also curious if you would you like to offer the resulting DataMap to your customers as an Apatar DataMap, or perhaps you want to embed Apatar engine into bizamajig service so the end user would not know Apatar, but use it within bizamajig website?

We were thinking to use Apatar for a new integration need arised recently.
Our requirement is xml<->MS Access and MS Acces <->xml. Does Aptar support such a scenario?

Hi, nesst

Apatar does support such a scenario. In fact, you may download a premade datamap to help you out with the process. Connectors in the datamap are uncustomized, so you'll need to customize them first in order to proceed with the desirable operation.

Below, please also find two guides for MS Access and XML connectors in case you may need additional info:

2. http://www.apatarforge.org/wiki/display/GUI/Connector+for+XML

Thank you
