How do I obtain run-time parameters for the graph from a user, please? Values such as file names and dates for the extraction of data?

  Hi bobirving,
  
  For your described needs you can use graph parameters. Parameters can be both internal (only for given graph) and external (shared). You can set desired values for parameters and run your graph, which reacts to given parameters. It is not possible to prompt a user for an input at runtime.
  
  For more information regarding graph parameters, please see documentation: http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/index.jsp?topic=/com.cloveretl.gui.docs/docs/parameters.html
  
  Another solution for you is using Launch Services (requires CloverETL Server)
  
  Launch Services allow you to publish a graph or a jobflow as a Web Service with web based interface to users. Users can set input parameters and run a graph or a jobflow with these parameters.
  
  For more details regarding Launch Services, please see documentation: http://doc.cloveretl.com/documentation/UserGuide/index.jsp?topic=/com.cloveretl.server.docs/docs/launch-service.html
