Paradox Component

Overview

Semarchy xDI allows to work with Paradox to produce fully customized Data Flows.

The database structure can be entirely reversed in Metadata and then used in Mappings and Processes to design and adapt the business rules to meet the user’s requirements.

Install the Paradox Component

If you did not install it yet, install the Paradox component in Designer by following the component installation process.

Third-party libraries

Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot distribute the Java libraries for this database. You must obtain them yourself.

After you have the necessary Paradox libraries, create a Paradox module for your project, and add the libraries to the module.
