map.apps ETL tools
Within the main map.apps ETL menu it is possible to create, edit and delete ETL tools.
General settings
The Tool Title will be visible in the tool dialog as well as in the toolsets located on the map.
FME connection settings
In the connection settings tab, the actual FME Workspace used by the tool has to be configured. Usually, the map.apps Proxy is used to provide the FME Rest token to the FME Server. If you do not want to use the map.apps Proxy (e.g. use of security.manager EE) the proxy usage can be disabled.
Input method
ETL tools can have three optional input methods that can be selected in this section. Please make sure that your FME Workspace is capable of handling these inputs.
