Introduction

METL is a simple, web-based integration platform that allows for several different styles of data integration including messaging, file based Extract/Transform/Load (ETL), and remote procedure invocation via Web Services. METL was built to solve fairly simple day to day integration tasks without the need for custom coding, heavy infrastructure or high costs. It can be deployed in the cloud or in an internal data center, and was built to allow developers to extend it to fit their needs by writing their own components that can be included and leveraged by the existing METL infrastructure.

System Requirements

METL is written in Java and requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Standard Edition (SE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) Standard Edition (SE) version 6.0 or above. Most major operating systems and databases are supported. The minimum operating system requirements are:

  • Java SE Runtime Environment 8 or above

  • Memory - 1 (GB) available

  • Disk - 256 (MB) available

METL is accessed from a web console, which requires one of the following supported web browsers:

  • Google Chrome 23 or newer

  • Internet Explorer 8 or newer

  • Mozilla Firefox 17 or newer

  • Safari 6 or newer

Overview

METL is a web application It can be deployed as a web application archive (war) file under an existing Servlet container (Tomcat, JBoss, Websphere, etc.) or can be deployed stand-alone as a war file deployed under a bundled Jetty Servlet container. See [installation] section for details.

Once installed, the web application (agent) is accessed via a web browser and is used to [design], [deploy] and [manage] integrations.
