[. . . ] Data Integrator Release Notes Data Integrator Release Notes Version 6. 5. 0. 1 BusinessObjectsTM Data Integrator version 6. 5. 0. 1 is the all-platform release of Data Integrator version 6. 5. The 6. 5. 0. 1 release also includes new features. For an overview of new features included in version 6. 5. 0. 1, see the Data Integrator Release Summary. For details about using 6. 5 features (released January 30, 2004), see the Data Integrator Technical Manuals. [. . . ] A new configuration parameter, has been added to suppresses the printing of this line to ABAP programs. To set the option, from the Designer select Tools > Options > Job Server > General and enter al_engine for the Section, PrintAbapProgramComplete for the Key and FALSE for the Value. The default is TRUE. 23474 When an expression for a column mapping was larger than 2198 characters, Data Integrator failed with a parsing error. Text data converted to integer data that had more than 10 digits potentially produced incorrect output without an error message. Deleting logs before the current log had finished scrolling to the bottom of the workspace would cause Data Integrator to freeze. Refresh issues in the Designer have been addressed. Now when you make updates to datastore login dialogs during a repository export procedure, the changes are reflected in subsequent dialogs. For example, if you are exporting datastores to one repository and you notice that a file exists in the target 21965 21884 21690 34 Data Integrator Release Notes Data Integrator Release Notes Resolved issues repository, you can press the Back button and change login information to point to another datastore. The datastore page of the export wizard then updates to tell you if the table exists in the new datastore. The previous behavior did not refresh this information when you changed a datastore login. 21416 The Data Integrator validation functions is_valid_date, is_valid_datetime, is_valid_time were returning warning messages for every invalid date. This produced a very large log file and took excessive time to run. Beginning with this release, warning messages do not occur. You can determine if the date is valid from the return value of these functions. When using a vertical Hierarchy_Flattening transform, standalone elements would loose their attributes. Two cases have been fixed: · Parent column is NULL but child column is NOT NULL. This is a child node without a parent node. Previously Data Integrator would output a row with parent and child attributes set to NULL. With this fix the output row will contain the child attributes obtained from the input row. The parent attributes of the output row are still set to NULL. Parent column is NOT NULL but child column is NULL. Previously Data Integrator would output a row with parent and child attributes set to NULL. With this fix the output row will contain the parent attributes obtained from the input row.
