Install Dataflush

Before Installing

DataFlush is compatible with any OS that is able to run a Java Virtual Machine.

Make sure you have installed it before going on.

Installing

Download the DataFlush distribution and unzip it in the directory you prefer.

The DataFlush distribution contains no JDBC driver so, if you want to use a RDBMS as your source or destination, copy the JDBC driver (tipically a .jar file) for your database in the "lib" directory.
Check you RDBMS provider on how to obtain JDBC drivers.

If you don't have it set yet, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to a path that points to your Java Virtual Machine installation directory.

Put the "bin" directory inside your DataFlush installation in your path environment variable.

After Installing

Open a command line window and type:

dataflush

You should get a message like this:

No script file specified.
