Data Hub and Process Monitor

The data hub is set up as a Windows service. Various jobs can be defined using an XML configuration file. These in turn consist of individual tasks. Server names with the corresponding IP addresses are declared in advance in the configuration file. There are also default settings for the connection to the crossbase database, to WinSCP, to ZIP, to SMTP and for logging parameters.

• • Parameterized batch start of numerous crossbase applications, e.g. for translation management, text generation, data imports and exports
  • Integration of automated jobs for data backup and checking the database, e.g. for monitoring the available disk space
  • Connection to common cloud systems such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS and other S3-compatible storage solutions
  • Systematic logging of all background processes in log files
  • Automatic email dispatch in the event of errors to quickly notify the responsible parties

Trigger

For each job to be executed, triggers are defined which start the job. These can be, for example, a time, file, WinSCP or directory trigger. Other jobs can also act as triggers. It is also possible to define conditions and send notifications in the event of errors.
