Datamart Extractor Overview

When launched, the Datamart Extractor displays a dialog box that enables you to run, to edit, or to remove a property file, to purge the database contents for the selected property file, and to refresh the list of files displayed.

Datamart Extractor also has an update mode. In this mode, the data from previous extractions is not refreshed. The tool compares what is in the existing database with what is in StarTeam Server and makes changes only when there are differences. If the extraction is stopped before reaching the end, the next time you run the extraction file, it will resume from where it stopped.

Note: When in update mode, Datamart Extractor adds a column to the correct tables after a custom field is added in StarTeam Server. It does not delete a column when a custom field is deactivated. Datamart Synchronizer adds the new column to the universe and uses the same display name that is used in StarTeam Server.
