Overview

DataBridge(Aplus Inflow) is a web-based tool designed for structured data migration between systems. It is tailored for batch and automated migration scenarios. It runs as a standalone on-premise application, deployed on Apache Tomcat and using PostgreSQL as its backend. The frontend is built using Vue.js and authentication is handled via Basic Auth.

Version: 1.0
Type: On-Premise Deployment

Components

1.  Web Interface: Built using Vue.js, allows users to configure and manage migration jobs.
   
2.  Core Migration Engine: Executes configured API requests, handles responses, supports transformations and scheduling.
   
3.  API Handler Module: Uses Apache HttpClient for sending API requests and handling authentication.
   
4.  PostgreSQL Database: Stores job configurations, execution logs, metadata, and user information
   

DataBridge – Basic Requirements

1. Operating System: A machine with Windows or Linux (Ubuntu/CentOS) installed.
   
2. Memory: Minimum 8 GB RAM for optimal performance.

   For AnalyticsPlus Cloud, the URLs https://AnalyticsPlus.manageengine.com and https://accounts.zoho.com (or .eu, based on the AnalyticsPlus data center) must be accessible from the server where the agent is installed.

Registering Inflow as a service in Windows Machine

1.  Extract the Agent.zip file to the desired location.
   (Note: This agent file will be provided based on the tool from which data is being fetched. Please contact Analytics Plus support to obtain the appropriate file.)
2. Open command prompt (Run as Administrator ) and navigate to <Agent home>/bin directory.
   
3. Run the script "InstallService.bat".
   
4. In case the port 8445 is occupied, please navigate to <Agent home>/bin directory and execute the script "ChangeHostPort.bat <Desired Port Number>".
5. Start the service(Aplus Inflow) in "services.msc".
   
6. Access the application using https://localhost:8445(Default Port)  in the browser.
