[Developers] New Apatar v1.5.0 Build

[Alex Khizhnyak]

Dear Apatar Developers,

 

The Apatar Team is pleased to inform you that Apatar Open Source Data
Integration v1.5.0 has been released. A new function and a new connector
were added to this release, and some refactoring updates were implemented.
You may find a brief summary below.

 

 

New features

 

1)     The Update operation node was added, which now enables bi-directional
updates between source and target data sources. Now Apatar can compare
records in both data sources and update the outdated entries with their most
up-to-date versions.

(For the difference between 'update' and 'synchronization' in terms of
Apatar functionality, please review the Table Update
<http://www.apatarforge.org/wiki/display/INT/Table+Update>  guide.)

 

2)     The Progress OpenEdge connector was implemented. It allows connecting
to the OpenEdge database through the native JDBC drivers that Progress
supplies as a part of its RDBMS product package.

Special thanks to Marian Edu of Ganimede for contributing this feature.

 

 

Refactoring change log

 

The Apatar Team is refactoring the code and architecture of the Apatar Open
Source Data Integration application to optimize its core structure and
improve user experience. Change log for this build:

 

1)     The AbstractConstantETLFunction class was renamed to
AbstractConstantApatarFunction. 

 

2)     The AbstractNonJdbcDataBaseNode class was added for implementation of
abstract methods declared in a parent class. These methods should be
implemented in children (if possible, separately). This is relevant for Web
services and non-database connectors. All non-JDBC connectors should be
inherited from this class.

 

3)     The DataDirection class was moved from the msexcel package into the
core package. 

 

4)     The CalculateResult method was moved from the ValidatNode class to
the DataTransNode class. The CalculateResult(Project project) method was
added. It calls the CalculateResult(Project project) method, transferring
the prj field as a parameter.

 

5)     The com.apatar.http.Metod class was renamed into
com.apatar.http.HttpRequestMethod.

 

6)     Syntax errors have been fixed in the names of the MSEXCEL plug-in
packages, methods, and classes.

 

7)     The createNodeColumns method was transferred from TransformUIUtils
into FunctionUtils. TransformUIUtils.java was deleted.
