Import Clarion to ODBC
Looking to import data from Clarion to ODBC?
Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise provides everything you need to automate the data import without writing custom scripts. Visually map and transform your fields, then run the Import immediately or schedule it to repeat automatically.
Clarion TPS files are common in older business applications that still run useful work every day. Replacing the application is not always the first sensible step. Sometimes the practical job is to extract the data safely and load it into the system that needs it now.
Advanced ETL Processor reads Clarion TPS files directly. There is no need to create an ODBC source connection just to get the Clarion data out. You define the Clarion source, choose the target, map fields, validate values, and keep a log for every run.

Load Clarion data into ODBC without hand-built scripts
The usual workflow is simple: connect directly to the Clarion TPS source, configure the ODBC destination, map fields, test data types, and run the package. Once it works, schedule it or trigger it when new files arrive.
- Read Clarion TPS data from your local or network location without using ODBC for the source.
- Map Clarion fields to ODBC columns visually.
- Validate required fields, dates, numbers, and empty values.
- Keep rejected rows and run logs for support and audit work.

FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor import Clarion to ODBC?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read Clarion, map fields, validate data, write to ODBC, and log the import.
Do I need to write scripts for the import?
No scripting is required for the normal import workflow. You can configure the reader, writer, mapping, validation, and schedule visually.
Can the Clarion import run on a schedule?
Yes. The package can run on a schedule, process matching Clarion files, archive originals, and write rows to ODBC with the same validation rules each time.
Can imported data be transformed before loading?
Yes. You can clean values, convert data types, calculate fields, split columns, and apply lookup rules before writing to the target.
Can bad rows be logged or rejected?
Yes. Add validation rules so rejected rows, failed files, row counts, and error details are visible after each run.
What should I check before the first production import?
Check source layout, target table, key fields, data types, date formats, write mode, archive folder, and failure handling.
When should I not automate the import yet?
Do not automate it until the source layout, target table, key fields, and bad-row handling are clear. Automation repeats rules; it does not invent them.
Can I test the import before buying?
Yes. Download the fully functional 30-day trial, build one small import, and test it with a deliberately awkward sample file.
