Running the stand-alone ETL process
When you launch the stand-alone ETL process on a server, it runs continuously in the background until stopped. The process follows the instructions in the Marketing Platform configuration properties to determine frequency, database connections, and other details during its operation.
Before you begin
- You must have the permissions of an Interact Admin user role.
- You must have installed the process on a server, and configured both the files on the server and in the Marketing Platform correctly for your configuration.
If you are running the ETL process on Microsoft Windows for a language other than US English, use chcp at the command prompt to set the code page for the language you are using. For example, you might use any of the following codes: ja_jp=932, zh_cn=936, ko_kr=949, ru_ru=1251 and for de_de, fr_fr, it_it, es_es, pt_br, use 1252. To ensure proper character display, use the chcp command in the Windows command prompt prior to launching the ETL process.
About this task
After you have installed and configured the stand-alone ETL process, you are ready to launch the process.
Procedure
Results
The stand-alone ETL process runs, and continues to run in the background until you stop the process or until the server is restarted.
The first time that you run the process, the accumulated event pattern data may take a considerable amount of time to run. Subsequent times that the process runs will work with only the most recent set of event pattern data and takes less time to complete.
Be aware that you can also provide the help argument to the command.bat or command.sh file to see all available options, as in the following example:
