Virtual Data Warehouse v.1.6.2
The Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW) release 1.6.2. is a major revision / upgrade which marks the first true 'database-less' release. No database or repository is needed to start generating code!
Because of a greater adoption of patterns, the existing built-in screens have been removed. This simplifies the menu to only file management and help. Everything else is dynamically generated from the available patterns.
Changes for this release:
- Upgraded to be compatible with version 1.2 of the schema for Data Warehouse Automation
- All patterns updated for compliance with the above
- Removal of Test Data, Referential Integrity and Point-in-Time (delivery) screens. These have been replaced by patterns / templates.
- Quality of life improvements such as tooltips, better auto aligning of grids and sizing of GUI / screen controls. It just looks and works better and easier.
- Sample library 'examples' containing the sample 'profiler' data warehouse provided upon installation. No need to first use TEAM to generate examples.
- Added a few custom functions to the templating engine: stringcompare, stringdiff, now, randomstring, randomnumber, randomdate.
- Feature to reuse existing TEAM connection files, and displaying the connection key on each pattern screen. Connections can be assigned to patterns.
- Event log and screen to view it.
- Feature to select, change and load TEAM environments and automatically upload the associated settings.
