VBA Palo Connect

I have multiple Palo DBs (all the same structure - each for a different client). I have an update program where I need to open the Palo DB (or make sure it is open) do my updates and then close the Palo DB.

One of the DBs that I need to open is the common data used to translate the data to be updated.

Does anyone have the VBA code to do this?

I have found it in the PHP kit but no reference to the VBA code.

Thanks,
David

this is a classic job for ETL-Server!

- no dependence on a Microsoft tool to run it
- fine grained rights
- can run on different machines across your network
- versionable source code

hi axi,

what do you mean with "versionable source code". In thread http://www.jedox.com/community/palo-foru…p?threadid=2645 you wrote something similar:

" the ETL-server is a nice tool

for dimension modelling you can put the source files under version control"

Could you please give us a hint in which way you do the "version control"?

sure :D

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versionskontrolle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revision_control

you really NEED this if there are more than one person doing ETL or you intend to change anything some time from now

good choice is svn (Subversion) or ask your programmers what is used inhouse

hi axi,

thanks a lot. Our programmers use "CVS".

Is it enough to do version control only for the file "repository.xml" of "PALO-WEB-ETL-Manager"?

you decide what needs to be versioned...

CVS is a bad choice for binary data e.g. Excel-files

the guys who created CVS crafted Subversion
