Hi Beate,

I serched, but I don't find and I don't know where to find this Harman's plugin. Google don't know It.

And i think it's not a real solution. The tool must be usable, I agree with Justus.

I have big JSON & XML transformations that use Hierarchical Stage and I don't know what to do. What should I tell my clients?

We have the same issue.  We are running 11.7 but not at the very latest patch that allows full use of Flow Designer, so I'm struggling to try and get that working now, but it would be nice to have a way to keep using the thick client since Flow Designer has some significant limitations. 

We've already seen a security fix to Flash break the Hierarchical Stage, requiring us to significantly lower the security of our desktops by adding "EnableInsecureActiveXNavigateToURL=1" to Flash's mms.cfg

• If flash is not available at the hard client machine: 
  • Dev-GUI for these stages will not function at all
  • The job itself can still be changed and compiled in the Designer, unless you do not touch an link attached to the HD stage (do not rename, nor change any column definition)
  • IBM claims that jobs and also affected stages can be worked on using the browser-based flow designer. (I cannot recommend that, but I also do not have the latest patch yet.)
• If you patch the windows system and let it remove adobe flash, you can replace it with the harnam flash plugin. It's AFAIK basically the very same, since they bought the software from adobe.
  • Installing the harnam flash plugin is just a few clicks and - just works. You need to have a license for the plugin. We received a license from IBM for free, but that one is limited to one year. After that period, we need to license it via harnam.
  • The license tells you that the plugin may only be used with the IBM product and for nothing else. Since it automatically replaces the flash plugin for the whole machine, it inheritly also fixes other components in the system, like wiered printer driver GUIs or whatever. A side effect we cannot do anything about. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Currently IBM Support has no more HARMAN licenses. What is more plugin licenses were limited to end of 2021.
It is a huge problem cause DFD desginer is not only problematic (sometimes even fields dissapered on canvas) but also has limited functionality (lack of full support for job parameters - you can provide them manually but for passwords that workaround doesn't work).

It is great that CP4D will provide new one but Server jobs and sequences will not be supported. That will cause migration process which is long term. In both cases (DFD and CP4D) we just loosing some functionality.

Regards,
Marcin

Hello All,

the two points that Marcin mentioned:

- there is no single view for the constraints - each of them belongs to output link view - it makes impossible to make quick derivation copy or check that otherwise link is in correct position (cause otherwise option is connected with links above the Otherwise link)
- there is no single view for outputs - we often copy part of derivation between outputs - it is mainly used for some pivots which are not efficient in Pivot or Hierarchical Data Stage

I have also reported these to the Dev Team in the DaaS Slack channel. I really miss these features. This is stuff that you only notice if your work with the tool in a real life environment. Especially the single view of constraints in the thick client is very usefull. For the second point I use this a lot when eg going from a transfomer to a connector with three links (insert, update, delete) and having my targetcolumns not precalculated. I just have to do my expressions for the insert link and then drag and drop the columns to the other two links.

As I had suggested in DaaS Slackchannel, DCP (Designtime Column Propagation) should be handeld differently in the Transfomer.
IMHO the transfomer should be handled differently than other stages when it comes to DCP:
a) If dragging a transfomer on an existing link (i.e. there is already a stage on each side of the
link), then DCP should work a currently (DAAS) implemented
b) If placing an transfomer on the end of a new link, then it should first not propagate any
derivations to the outputlinks of that transfomer but you would do this like currently in the thick
client (you can drag and drop all input column in one move). If later upstream a column definition
changes or is added/deleted, then this should be propagated automatically.
