 | Please remember that most DataMaps require the Transform module between connectors. This guide will help you learn how to configure it. |
Configuration
To start with,
1. Launch Apatar and start new project.
2. Drag-and-drop the input connector to Apatar's work panel.
3. Configure it providing authorization details and the links to the source you want to extract data from.
4. Drag-and-drop Transform node to Apatar's work panel.
5. Drag-and-drop destination connector (text file, or database, or whatever).
6. Configure destination connector. (Please read other Apatar user guides, if necessary.)
7. Map the source connector with the Transform node; map the Transform node with the destination connector.
8. Now you need to map all corresponding data fields inside the Transform module. Double-click on it. (You will see the list of all available data fields on the left and on the right.)
9. Drag-and-drop the fields you want to extract into the Transform's work space. As well, drag-and-drop the destination fields there.
10. Then map the source and destination fields that are corresponding.
11. Press Ok to close the Transform window.
Preview
If necessary, you can preview data. To check the transformation results, right-click on the Transform node and choose "Preview Results".
Run the project
Now you can launch the transformation. To do so, either choose "Run" from Apatar File menu, or select "Preview Results" after you right-click on the destination connector.

Ummmm, where is an actual transformation? This step doesnt appear to actually do anything - there is no transformation actually shown!
