Inex

Information Exchange - Ingest ARM data into EFC

This application is designed to pull data from an Microsoft SQL database, reformat it, and then send that data via the web to the Event Fusion Center. It's designed to be performant. The embedded query doesn't return unneccesary data and data is written to memory before being pushed into EFC. Initially you may have to pull a large amount of days so the system is caught up but the sweet spot would be to pull a set of data every day.
