2.6 - Data Manager - "black box"
  • VoteVote Up0Vote Down Pascal     Pascal February 16, 2010 7:29PM
    I started to use the data manager in v2.6 and you can very easily end up with a lot of boxes connected to each other.
    Depending on the number of input files or systems that you connect and the number of file/data manipulations you have to do, it can become very difficult to read.

    My idea would be to group together a certain number of boxes with 0 or 1 input and 1 output and give it a name. It could be opened to show what it contains. Obvisously, it should be possible to give it a name.
    That way the ETL would be much easier to read.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your idea. We are in the process of implementing the ability to group a set of connected blocks. You will be able to do this by opening the block menu and then choosing the 'Group upstream' command. The selected block and all connected upstream blocks will be grouped together into a single block. To ungroup open the block menu and choose the 'Ungroup' command. This feature should be available in the next few days.

    Regards

    Chris
