[Alex Khizhnyak]

Dear Apatar Developers,

 

The Apatar Team is pleased to inform you that Apatar Open Source Data
Integration 1.11.1 has been released. The connector for ODBC was
implemented, the connector for Salesforce CRM was upgraded, and several bugs
were fixed. You may find a brief summary below.

 

NEW! Connector for ODBC

 

The ODBC Generic connector has been released. It allows extracting and
loading data from/to ODBC data sources. Feel free to browse the user guide
at

 

http://www.apatarforge.org/wiki/display/GUI/Connector+for+ODBC+Sources 

 

NOTE: Most likely, there will be some data types that are not supported yet.
If you face such an issue, please report the data type and the name of data
source at support at apatar.com.

 

Improved connector for Salesforce CRM

 

The connector for Salesforce CRM has been upgraded to work with the latest
version of Salesforce CRM's API. This enables Apatar users to use all the
latest Salesforce CRM features now.

 

Running DataMaps from command line 

 

The Apatar team have enabled running datamaps from the command line (using
parameters). Learn more at

Bugs fixed

 

1.      SQL queries were not saved when configuring the connector for MS
Access.

http://apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-727

 

2.      Proxy settings failed to be applied at the level of configuring the
connector for Salesforce CRM.

http://apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-724

 

3.      There were problems with editing datamap containing the connector
for MS Access from the previous Apatar version in newer version.  The
connector configuration window failed to open.

http://www.apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-731

 

4.      Another problem was associated with the connector for MS SQL. Apatar
failed to sign out from database after working with it. As a result, the
connection with database was unavailable.

http://www.apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-737

 

5.      The Update mode within the connector for Salesforce CRM has been
corrected. 

http://www.apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-695

 

6.      The problems with the connectors  for LDAP and MSSQL: keeping to
display data from a server after the server is changed to another one.

http://www.apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-662

 

7.      The bug with the connector for MS Access failing to display data
from .mdb after editing has been fixed.

http://www.apatarforge.org/bugs/browse/APT-738

 

8.      The Parse Email Body Function was corrected to return an empty
string when it receives an empty string or the NULL value as an input.

 

9.      The Apatar RegExp class no longer stores complete processing history
in logs. This makes log files smaller now.
