Setting up data destinations

There are currently three destinations available:

Each data destination needs to be set up using their respective configuration parameters, configuration files or certificates, if needed. Please refer to each of their sections for more details on how to set them up. In this section, features that are common for all types of data destinations are presented.

Naming

All entities and attributes try to use the display name to sync the model (Neutral language xx-XX). If the display name cannot be found, the general name is used.

There is a general setting for all destinations to replace characters or parts of the used name for all objects.

Name replacement:

The name replacement is used to replace names of entities or attributes by regular expressions. The format to describe a regular expression is /<pattern>/<replacement>/. This format is similar to the Linux command line tool SED (Stream Editor), except for s at the beginning and flags at the end, which are currently not supported. Multiple expressions can be defined, they should be separated by ;. If ; or / are used in the pattern or the replacement, they should be preceded by \.

Here are some examples:

  • /a/b/: Replaces all characters of a with b.

  • /[[:lower]]/X/: Replaces all lower case characters with X.

  • /Test/Test1/: Replaces all occurrences of Test with Test1.

  • /^a/X/: Replaces only the first occurrence of a with X.

  • /[a-c]/X/: Replaces all occurrences of a, b or c with X.

  • /\d/X/: Replaces all numbers with X.

  • /_/\//: Replaces all occurrences of _ with /.

  • /\;/:/: Replaces all occurrences of ; with :.

  • /a/b/;/c/d/: Replaces all characters of a with b and c with d.
