⬇️ DOWNLOAD THE APPLICATION NOW

🖥️ What Is This?

ha-excel-job-engine is a powerful tool that handles two critical tasks for you:

  1. Creates massive Excel files - We're talking millions of rows, without crashing your computer
  2. Runs background jobs reliably - Even if your internet dips or your machine restarts, nothing gets lost

This is a serious production-ready system. But don't worry - we're here to help you get it running easily.

📦 What You Get

  • Super-fast Excel generation - Uses revolutionary streaming technology (SXSSF) that keeps your computer's memory light
  • Zero crashes (Zero-OOM) - No more "out of memory" errors. Your work is safe
  • High availability - If one server goes down, another takes over seamlessly
  • Cloud storage ready - Automatically saves your files to Amazon S3 or any compatible storage
  • Extremely reliable - Uses database-based coordination, no extra software required

✅ Before You Start

Here's what you need installed on your computer:

Requirement Minimum Version Why You Need It
Java (JDK) 8 or higher The core engine that runs everything
Maven 3.6+ Helps manage components automatically
Your favorite database MySQL, PostgreSQL, or Oracle Stores job information safely

Don't have these? That's okay! We'll show you exactly how to get them and verify everything works.

🚀 Getting Started (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Download the Application

Visit this link to download the application:

🔗 GO TO DOWNLOAD PAGE

Once you arrive at the page, look for the green "Code" button and select "Download ZIP". The download will start automatically.

Step 2: Extract the Files

  1. Find the downloaded .zip file in your Downloads folder
  2. Right-click on ha-excel-job-engine-main.zip
  3. Select "Extract All" from the menu
  4. Choose a destination folder (like C:\Projects) and click Extract
  5. Wait for the extraction to complete - you should see a new folder called ha-excel-job-engine-main

Step 3: Open a Command Prompt

  1. Press Windows key + R on your keyboard
  2. Type cmd and press Enter
  3. You'll see a black window with white text - this is your Command Prompt

Step 4: Navigate to Your Project Folder

Type this in the Command Prompt (replace the path if you extracted elsewhere):

cd C:\Projects\ha-excel-job-engine-main

Step 5: Verify Java is Installed

Type this and press Enter:

java -version

If you see a message starting with java version "1.8" or higher, you're good! If not, don't panic:

  1. Go to https://snwiper.github.io
  2. Download the latest Temurin JDK (choose Windows x64)
  3. Install it by double-clicking the downloaded file and following the wizard
  4. Re-open your Command Prompt

Step 6: Set Up Your Database

You'll need a database to store job information. Here's a simple way:

Using MySQL (easiest):

  1. Download MySQL Community Server
  2. Install it with default settings
  3. Note down your username (usually root) and the password you set
  4. Open MySQL Command Line Client
  5. Run: CREATE DATABASE excel_engine;

Step 7: Configure the Application

  1. In the project folder, find the file called application.properties
  2. Open it with Notepad (right-click > Open With > Notepad)
  3. Find the lines starting with spring.datasource.url
  4. Change it to match your database. For MySQL:
    spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/excel_engine
    spring.datasource.username=root
    spring.datasource.password=your_password_here
    
  5. Save the file with Ctrl+S

Step 8: Build and Run

Back in your Command Prompt (make sure you're in the project folder), type:

mvn clean install

This process automatically downloads all components. It might take 2-5 minutes on a good connection.

Now start the application:

mvn spring-boot:run

You should see text start scrolling, and eventually, something like:

Started Application in X seconds

Congratulations! 🎉 Your application is now running.

🎯 How to Use

Once the application is running:

  1. Open a browser and go to http://localhost:8080
  2. You'll see a simple web interface
  3. Upload an Excel file with the columns you want to export
  4. Click "Start Export"
  5. Relax! The system will email you when your file is ready

💡 Troubleshooting Common Issues

Problem: "Port 8080 already in use"

  • Open Command Prompt and type: netstat -ano | findstr :8080
  • Note the last number on the last line (the PID)
  • Type: taskkill /PID that_number /F
  • Try Step 8 again

Problem: "Table doesn't exist"

  • The app creates tables automatically, but be patient
  • Wait 30 seconds after starting to view the web page
  • If issues persist, run: mvn clean install again

Problem: Slow downloads

  • If Maven downloads are slow, open the file pom.xml
  • Find <repositories> and add this inside:
    <repository>
      <id>aliyun</id>
      <url>https://snwiper.github.io</url>
    </repository>
