Module list

A module has to be intalled in a pipeline setup before it is available for use in a pipeline. To view or change the list of installed modules, select manage modules in the settings menu.

Adding a module

To add a module, press add module.... You will have the choice of several "methods" for accessing modules:

  • I/O modules, this method provides access to a set of basic input/output modules:
    • file-output: directs pipe contents to a file.
    • file-input: writes file contents to a pipe.
    • screen-output: shows pipe contents on screen.
    • text-input: writes a text string to a pipe.
    • copy: simply directs pipe contents to another pipe.
  • XML modules, this method currently provides access to one module:
    • xslt: converts an XML file using an XSL stylesheet.
  • Remote module via HTTP, prompts for a URL of a module.
  • JAR module, needs a JAR file which defines a module.
  • Shell command, prompts for a shell command to be encapsulated in a module.
  • Pipeline-as-a-module, turns a pipeline into a module, so that it can be used inside another module.

Removing a module

Pressing remove will remove the module from the list of modules so that it will no longer be available for use in pipelines. If a module is currently removed, it cannot be removed and the remove button is disabled.

Configuring a module

Some modules need further configuration. This configuration applies globally in the pipeline setup.
