What's New in Version 20.1
Adds support for Index column ordering in PostgreSQL 10.x-12.x
ER/Studio Data Architect 20.1 includes support for Index column
ordering in PostgreSQL 10.x to 12.x. You now can define the Sort Order for the
columns. Available options are ASC for ascending order and DESC
for descending order.
Allows user-defined names for the History Table in Azure SQL DB
and SQL Server
For ER/Studio Data Architect Azure SQL DB and SQL Server users, the
History Table name now is customizable. You can enter any name as long as it is
not already existing in the database.
Allows a user to select a region when reverse
engineering in Google Big Query
ER/Studio Data Architect Google BigQuery users now can select a
region for their selected Datasource in both the
Reverse Engineer Wizard and the Compare and Merge Utility. Note that you can
select only one region. The default selected region is US.
Adds Data
Catalog tree support for Google BigQuery nested objects
Google BigQuery nested objects now appear in the proper format in
the ER/Studio Team Server Data Catalog tree. Tables appear in the top order
while nested Objects appear under the Columns of the Tables in hierarchy.
Adds options
to select version for WhereScape support
WhereScape 3D is adding a feature to check for the source
application version. WhereScape users within Team Server now have an option to
select the version when exporting XML from WhereScape 3D. The WhereScape Admin
Settings page now includes an option to select the Output for WhereScape
Versions. Users can choose from the following options:
·
versions 8.6.8.0 and previous
·
versions 8.6.9.0 and above (selected by
default)
To ensure compatibility
with ER/Studio Repository synchronization, this version of ER/Studio Data
Architect requires ER/Studio Repository (Team Server) version 19.1 or later for
all Repository operations.
ER/Studio Portal is no longer supported by ER/Studio Data
Architect. Most functionality formerly provided by ER/Studio Portal is now
provided by ER/Studio Team Server. Users that formerly used the Repository
tab to browse the portal can use a Web browser instead.
License Enforcement
When working with the Repository, all users must use the same
license type. ER/Studio now enforces this by marking the Repository as an
Enterprise Team Edition Repository when a user with an Enterprise Team Edition
license logs in. Subsequent log in attempts by users with a non-Team Edition
license will not be allowed
