Use the tables below to choose the best tool for automating integration by answering the following two questions:

• Do you want to run an integration model or a preimport processing?
• Do you want to run your task immediately or do you want to schedule it?

Notes

• You are a SaaS client:
  • You cannot access the application server.
  • You cannot run the smoBackOfficeClient and smoIntegration tools. You cannot run batches to start these tools.
  • You can access the \preimport folder using ftps/ftp that enables you to store data files and access configuration files, SQL scripts, log files (\log subfolder) and temp files for data extraction (\temp subfolder).
  • You can create new subfolders in the \preimport folder based on your requirements.

• You are an On Premise client:
  • On the application server, you can use smoBackOfficeClient (located in <Easyvista>\tools\smoBackOffice) and smoIntegration (located in <Easyvista>\tools) (Note: <Easyvista> Identifies the EasyVista folder on your application server).
  • There is no access restriction to the \preimport folder that can be organized based on your requirements.
