Support for FORTRAS EDI messages

MapForce supports EDI messages for numerous industry standards as the source or target of any data transformation process. New support has been added for FORTRAS EDI in the latest version.

FORTRAS EDI messages are used to exchange information among freight hauling companies, and support for this popular standard has been requested by MapForce customers working on EDI data integration.

Option to share database connection among components

In some data mapping applications, a project may connect to the same database twice. Now, in these cases it is easy for database components to share the same database connection. This is enabled by checking Use Shared Database Connection at Runtime in the database component settings.

Ability to deploy original design file to FlowForce Server

High performance automation of data integration and ETL projects defined in MapForce is provided by MapForce Server and FlowForce Server, with MapForce Server automating data transformation and FlowForce Server providing comprehensive workflow management.

When you deploy your MapForce Server Execution file to FlowForce Server, it is now possible to attach the mapping files for later retrieval. This will help your team if the original files are lost unintentionally by enabling them to download them at any time.

Support for video and web links in Projects

MapForce includes a Project view for creating projects that include multiple data mapping projects, input files, and other related assets.

 

MapForce users can now add links to relevant web pages and videos in their MapForce projects.

 

The MapForce Examples project that ships with the software now includes numerous links to video tutorials and web pages describing specific functionality alongside the relevant sample MapForce projects.
