The Maintain tab in Advanced ETL Processor is where you manage repository work: create repositories, back them up, restore them, and synchronize objects between repositories. Use it before production changes, migrations, and upgrades, not after the panic starts.
What You Will Learn
- Open the Maintain tab and understand what belongs there.
- Create and connect to a repository before moving ETL objects into it.
- Back up and restore repository content when moving between environments.
- Use repository synchronization when development and production need selected object updates.
Before You Start
Back up the repository before maintenance work. A repository restore is boring when you planned it and memorable when you did not.
Maintain Tab Docs
The Repository Database documentation covers supported repository types, creating a new repository, transferring data between repositories, and repository object synchronization.
Start with the repository database overview. Advanced ETL Processor stores user data, configuration, and project details in the repository, so maintenance work affects more than one transformation.
For moving environments, review creating a new repository, transferring data between repositories, and repository object synchronization.
The broader User Interface page explains the main window, quick access tabs, object tree, grouping, status bar, and incremental search. If you reuse common package or transformation parts, also see the Objects Library.
