DataMinder: Scheduled Sync Example

Synchronise 2 data sources

Very simple example to illustrate how DataMinder uses a scheduler plugin to start a process. A process consisting of plugins to read data from one database, fix it and write to another database. A realistic example would be a sync between 2 different data sources.

1. Scheduler notifies DataMinder to start process
2. DataMinder connects to the first database and imports data to internal DataMinder table
3. The first plugin is run to fix the case of all names
4. Second plugin is used to create emails for all users
5. Last plugin writes to the second database

The example is intentionally simple to focus on the concepts and not on the problem
