ETL+ Command Line Interface

Windows command line/CMD command (DOS) syntax for running processes defined on ETL+.

Syntax for Windows Shortcuts and command line interface to ETL+

“<path>\DataSelf ETL Plus.exe” -e <entity> -j <job-id> [-ui load] [-ui log]

<path>: Folder where ETL+ is installed. By default, C:\Program Files\DataSelf ETL Plus\
-e <entity>: The entity is the Entity value shown on the lower left-hand corner of most ETL+ pages. This parameter is always required to define which entity will be used by the command line.
-j <job-id>: This parameter will run the <job-id> (shown on the Job’s ID column - see the image below) from the -e <entity> as a Windows service on the local computer.
- Example: "DataSelf ETL Plus.exe" -e sample_entity -j 3.
-ui load: This parameter added to -j will run the Job via the Load UI (instead of running as a service). |
Running a command line with the -ui load parameter is the same as selecting a job on the Job page and then Run Job.

Example. The page below is displayed because of the -ui load parameter in the command line
"DataSelf ETL Plus.exe" -e w_demo_erp -j 3 -ui load.
-ui log: This parameter will run the ETL Log page from the -e <entity>.
The log shown is the same log as the log shown when clicking Log on the ETL or Job pages.
- E.g.: The following page is the result from: "DataSelf ETL Plus.exe" -e w_demo_erp -ui log
