Node.js utility to parse email mbox files and persist to SAP HANA. For quick testing and deployment, take advantage of the SAP HDI Container for creating a silo-ed database

Requirements

• A an email export named export.mbox to be read in the main directory of this project. This is the type of export that is typical of a Google Takeout

• The project database can de deployed on the SAP Business Technology Platform if the Cloud Foundry CLI is installed

• Login to your SAP Business Technology Platform space with the cf-login.sh script. You will need to add the CP_USER and CP_PASSWORD environment variables and edit the script for organization and project space

• A SAP HANA platform service must be deployed for the project DB to be deployed as a container

• You can deploy the SAP HANA HDI Container with the cf-db.sh script

• Once the DB container is deployed you will need credentials to access it. Create a file named service-key.json with the SAP HANA database connection properties

You can also copy and paste a service key from a SAP HANA instance deployed in SAP Business Technology Platform

Example:

{
  "host": "zeus.hana.prod.some.region.com",
  "port": 555666,
  "user": "MBOX_SCHEMA_RT",
  "password": "some-long-password-with-numbers-888-AND-CAPS",
  "encrypt": true
}

• Next install the dependencies to run the script with npm install

• Finally run the script to load the email export with npm run start
