JavaScript Data Feeds

The JavaScript data feed enables you to run a JavaScript file, and insert that data into the Archer instance if the result of the script is a data set.

The source files can be delimited text files, JSON files, or XML files. You can use an XSLT to transform your data into a consumable format.

JavaScript Transporter

The JavaScript Transporter can be used to push data from Archer to somewhere else, or it can manipulate data in an external system. To do so, return an empty data set to Archer.

Note: Archer Technical Support is not responsible for data interaction with third party resources.

A JavaScript Transporter data feed can be configured as a standard or transport only data feed type.

Important: Before you can run a JavaScript Data Feed, ensure that your JavaScript Transport Settings in the Archer Control Panel have been set. For more information, see "Configuring JavaScript Transporter Settings" in the Archer Control Panel Help.
