Scripting in B2Data

B2Data is a robust data platform tailored to streamline data management processes for enterprises. In this section, we'll delve into the technical aspects of Scripting in B2Data.

Modular Workflow Architecture: B2Data is built on a modular workflow architecture, offering a systematic approach to create data processing workflows. These workflows are constructed by connecting different nodes, with each node representing a specific action or step in the data journey. This modular framework provides flexibility and scalability in managing data processes.

Custom Scripting: B2Data introduces custom script nodes, a powerful toolset for scripting and customization within your data workflows. These custom scripts allow you to fine-tune your data processes to meet the unique requirements of your business.

Scripting is available in three main environments:​

1) Properties - you can use scripting to define and edit properties inside your workflow. You can define properties in the workflow settings as global properties, or inside a specific node as a local property.

2) Custom script nodes which are configured using scripting:

  • Custom Script: Add custom scripts nodes for specific data operations or transformations.
  • If-Else Condition Node: Add a condition that returns true or false and output them to a different output port.

3) DataPrep - inside DataPrep node there is the ability to add a Custom Column by writing a Script.

Practical Examples: To see B2Data Custom Scripting in action, our documentation also includes practical examples of real-life, end-to-end workflow applications. These examples demonstrate the technical capabilities of the platform and how it can impact your data management operations.
