Integration Tasks

Integration tasks allow you to configure jobs on each Integration Agent that you installed. You can link multiple Integration tasks on a single Integration Agent. This task allows you to specify the different parameters used to load data into our APIs, such as database connection strings, file name patterns, queries, etc. This Integration tasks will also allow you to specify which Source Connection you want to feed, and thus indicate in which target connection you want to feed this data.

warning

This article only explains how to create a Integration tasks. In order to load data into our applications, more configuration is necessary. For more information, please refer to this article.

In order to view and configure Integration tasks in QuartzIQ, you must have the required application roles:

  • QX-Admin
  • IQ-Admin (only if you want to create Source and Target Connections in order to input data for QuartzIQ)

The creation button will take you through the steps necessary to create the Integration tasks:

  • General: this step allows you to configure the name and description of the Integration tasks. This will help you identify the Integration tasks but can easily be updated after creation.
  • Integration Agent: this step allows you to specify the Integration agent that will be executing the job.
  • Execution Frequency: in this step, you can specify on which frequency the Integration Agent will check if new data is available to be loaded.
  • Source Connection: in this step, you must finally specify the source connection that will be fed by the job.
  • Loading Queue: in this step, you can specify the dataloading queue in which you want to execute the job. There is a total of 10 queues that can load data simultaneously. By default, it will be set to a default queue.

Once created, the Integration tasks will be in Draft mode. This allows you to modify the Integration tasks and set the technical parameters. Each technical parameter has a name and description, and some of them are mandatory.

When switching the Integration tasks to Enabled, a verification is done on the parameters to ensure that the Integration tasks has all mandatory parameters to execute correctly.
