The continuent-tools-core is a package of libraries that are found in Tungsten Replicator. When the gem is built, these files are automatically exported from https://code.google.com/p/tungsten-replicator/.

gem install continuent-tools-core

Every Tungsten script should create a new class and include the 'TungstenScript' module. To execute the class, run 'YourClassScript.new().run()'.

The class must at least define the 'main' and 'script_name' methods. All other methods have a base definition and aren't required.

Inside of the configure command, you may define options that will be accepted from the command line.

add_option(:option_name, {
  :on => "--option-name String",
  :aliases => ["-o String"],
  :help => "A description of the option",
  :default => "Default Value"
})

In order to access this value, you may run the opt() command.

opt(:option_name)

The first two examples show the base script outline for running against Continuent Tungsten, and running a script that doesn't require Continuent Tungsten.

• samples/active-tungsten-script

  This script will look for $CONTINUENT_ROOT and load the configuration associated with that directory. If the environment variable isn't available, the --directory option is required to locate the right path.

• samples/independent-script

  This script will still look for $CONTINUENT_ROOT but it will not fail if Continuent Tungsten is not found.

The source code for this gem is available at code.google.com project. The tungsten.rb and tungsten directory are packaged into the gem. All other files are required via the gemspec.
