Difference between DS7.1 and DS7.5

Post by pmadhavi »

Hi

We have DS 7.1r1 right now. We are planning to propose the client to upgrade it to DS 7.5. We need to document the differences between the 2 versions.

Pls find the differences which I could Identify
1. RowSplitter and Row Merger(not in DS7.1present in DS7.5)
2. Start Loop and End loop activity(absent in 7.1)
3. In a job activity stage, we can not browse through the routines and others functions in the expression editor of a a parameter.
4. Notification activity stage also has many fetaured added in DS7.5
5. Dynamic RDBMS stage is not available in DS7.1r1

I would have missed many other important features. Can you please add the same.

Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Madhavi

Make sure you upgrade to the latest version of "7.5" and not just literally 7.5 (which is available as far as I know). Latest should be 7.5.2.

There should be quite a list of "Changes in this Release" that come with the media... why not just order it and see for yourself? As long as they are under maintenance it's doesn't cost anything to order up the version.

I think you can add the surrogate key generator routine which is under the Key Mgt(KeyMgtGet nextValue and Key MgtGetcurrent)I am not sure whether it is there in 7.1 but we have it in 7.5.

Thanks,
