TEAM 1.5.5.2
Major revision and alignment to VEDW v1.6.
- Overall improved of error handling and reporting. Meaningful error messages are now reported back if things go wrong, and the error log works at all times, including when creating the repository and sample data.
- Underlying metadata model upgrade, the full model is available here. This is the v.1.6 version of the repository model.
- Support for source-to-staging and PSA mappings.
- Updated colour scheme to use softer palette, and included STG, PSA and DIM coding.
- Fixed some bugs in supporting schemas in source or target names. I.e. you can now use [].[] everywhere.
- Removed unused functionality everywhere in the tool. All visible options work :-).
- Removed generate sample data. This is now a VEDW option.
- Changed the 'ignore version' checkbox to a radio button which enables the selection of either the 'Virtual Mode' or 'Physical Mode'. Virtual Mode basically uses the internal physical model metadata to generate the Virtual Data Warehouse, whereas the Physical Mode performs target database (catalog / data dictionary) lookups to collect database metadata.
- Enhanced activation mechanisms to drive more on JSON and the on-screen metadata than use database logic. The logic still needs a database, but it's significantly less. Future versions are envisaged to be completely database-less.
- Sample data now also includes physical model metadata to demonstrate 'Virtual Mode'.
- Removed Graph menu item, this has been moved to a dedicated TEAM_Graph Github. The reason is that this removes the limit of 20 people following the yWorks license, while still enabling utilising yWorks.
