DETAILS

WDATA

Apply mathematical operations to variables and outputs

When you use a Number variable or output as a value in a command's property, you can now apply a transformation to round it to specific decimal places or add, subtract, multiply, or divide it by a specific value. To apply a mathematical operation to a numerical text string variable or output, first use the new Parse Number transformation.

Conditionally stop command groups

With the new Exit Group event, you can set conditions to stop a command group when specific criteria are met.

Enhanced iterators with conditional iterations and new outputs and tab

With an iterator, you can now repeat a chain's command or command group based specific conditions, such as over an exact number of values or while or until specified criteria are met. Previously, you could only iterate over a list of values.

To set up an iterator, you now select the new Iterations tab from the command or group's settings. Iterators also now provide additional outputs, including the total number of iterations, the index of the current iteration, and whether the current iteration is the first or last value.

Enter descriptions for chain and workspace variables

When you set up variables for chains or workspaces, you can now enter a description to help explain their context or intent.

Import Oracle® EDMCS dimension from CSV or ZIP

With the Oracle Enterprise Data Management Cloud Service (EDMCS) connector, you can import a dimension from a CSV or ZIP with the Import Dimension from File command and select whether to reset, replace, or merge the dimension upon import.
