[Developers] New Apatar v1.6.5 Build

[Alex Khizhnyak]

Dear Apatar Developers,

 

The Apatar Team is pleased to inform you that Apatar Open Source Data
Integration 1.6.5 has been released. Two new features were added and a few
bugs were fixed. You may find a brief summary below.

 

New features

 

a)      The CurrentTimestamp function was added. This feature generates the
time information based on the current date and time and allows users to
specify the time difference in hours during integrations, a feature
especially useful when data sources are located in different time zones.

The function was added by Patryk Szczypien, Software Engineer at pizza.de
GmbH. Thank you Patryk from the whole Apatar community!

b)      The possibility to skip the read stage in the insert mode was added
to the connector for EditGrid. To enable it, Apatar users need to tick the
checkbox "Skip read stage". This feature aims to considerably decrease the
time users spend on transactions, particularly when there is a large number
of records in the data sources.
