File and folder management is a large part of backend development. Whether you are creating files, importing files, or simply following organisation standards, every system needs to consider how files are stored and archived. This is especially important for ETL or data-loading solutions. Low-code tools are a good choice when you create a process to automate your file archiving.
Cartrack is widely used for fleet management, and they offer a web service to manage jobs, customers and drivers. This post covers how you can integrate your system and the Cartrack API with Linx. The idea is to provide a base template solution to make it easier to integrate with the Cartrack API. Bring your integration requirement, add your system connectors and call the Cartrack API with the provided functions.
A common data development task is to move data from a target to a source. It can be a time consuming and tedious process when you have many sources or many targets of different types. This task can be made more complex when you add an automation component. These tasks can be made much quicker and easier to manage when using the right tool, for example Linx. This article will look at exactly how you can read and write data from these different sources.
Any organisation wanting to pursue digital transformation understands the value of good-quality data. Data is akin to digital gold, and it is immensely important to strategic decision-making. Ensuring that your data or BI team has everything they need is part of the challenge.
Business Intelligence (BI) teams often face several resource constraints that can impact their ability to deliver their objectives effectively. They must run effective operations with limited time, resources, budget and people. The role can be incredibly challenging when multiple projects are highly prioritised, where data and reports were required yesterday. That said, there are ways to make these challenges more manageable.
Data is the invaluable currency of the digital age, holding immense importance in driving critical business decisions and guiding organizations towards success. Yet far too many neglect the mechanisms that manage our data. Data integration is one of the most important parts of digital transformation.
For the day-to-day developer, deployment and hosting, plus the subsequent management of solutions in production, is a considerable challenge, especially if it’s outside their immediate skill set. Hosting applications can be complex. Besides the obvious challenges of scalability, security, and reliability (up-time), you must consider where your application will be hosted, how you plan to deploy it, how to monitor it, and more.
CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) is a set of operations allowing users to interact with a database simply and consistently. Creating a CRUD API allows other systems and developers to interact easily with a data store or set. By providing a simple and consistent set of operations, CRUD APIs make it easy to build, scale, and secure applications. Some benefits of a CRUD API include When developing a CRUD API, there are many options to choose from.
MySQL is a great option if you are looking for a free and easy-to-use database. With Linx you can easily connect and interact with the data to; Interacting with a MySQL database with Linx is done via ODBC. Once the ODBC data source is set up, you can interact with the MySQL database using the built-in Database Plugin in Linx. This will allow you to run any query you can on MySQL.
Low-code platforms are an efficient and effective solution for accessing and managing data in a Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) database. Linx provides an easy way to connect to a database and interact with it in multiple ways, all while removing the need for complex coding. Linx natively allows interaction with an MSSQL database via the Database plugin. Using this plugin, you can: This functionality can be used by dragging the required function from the plugins tab onto the function you are building.
