Getting started

A Catenivo workflow is a graph made of sources, operators and destinations connected on a canvas.

1. Create a project

Start Catenivo and create a new project. Save it as an .etl file before building a workflow you want to keep.

2. Add a source

Choose a source in the catalog, then double-click it or drag it onto the canvas.

Configure the file, table or resource to read. When supported by the format, Catenivo can discover layers and schema without iterating over all features.

3. Add an operator

Add an operator and connect the source output to its input. Ports represent available streams: main output, rejected features or specialized results depending on the operator.

Configuration remains editable before execution. Constraints that actually depend on data are checked when the workflow starts.

4. Add a destination

Add a writer, choose its destination and configure its schema, or import the incoming schema when that capability is available.

Writers can create or modify real data. Use test files and databases while learning.

5. Run

Start the workflow from the toolbar. The journal reports reads, writes, rejects and engine diagnostics.

Enable caching when you want to inspect an output or reuse a result for a partial run.

6. Inspect results

Click an output cache to open the data table. Compatible geometries can also be displayed on the map.

Next steps

• Supported features and limitations
• Project parameters, loops, subprojects and the CLI will progressively be added to this bilingual user documentation.
