Visual optimizations in the Designer

20 September 2025

The Designer has been enhanced with several visual optimizations. All related connections (pipes) are now highlighted in bold when the mouse is moved over an existing connection or a heater is selected. Not only are the connections highlighted in bold, but also the corresponding field names on the READ and WRITE sides. This makes it very easy to trace and assign connections, even in definitions with a large number of connections and heaters/functions in the design area.

Furthermore, it is now more clearly highlighted when descriptions are stored in a definition or heater. This allows you to see in advance whether a description is stored without having to open the description on suspicion.

The numbering of incoming and outgoing heaters and field connections (pipes) has also been optimized in this release.

XML Adapter with optional XSD validation

15 April 2025

An XSD (XML Schema Definition) file can now optionally be specified in the XML Adapter Configurator. This XSD file is then checked against the specified XML file on the READ page before processing or on the WRITE page after the XML file has been generated. You can also specify whether processing is to be aborted if the check is not passed or whether only the warnings or error messages are to be output.

JSON Adapter is now fully released for production use

11 November 2024

As of this version the BETA testing phase of the JSON Adapter is finished and the JSON Adapter can now be used with live data. Since the structure of JSON files requires some understanding, five detailed examples are provided to explain the special features of JSON processing with FlowHeater. In addition, a tutorial video is available that goes through these examples and demonstrates how easy it makes the conversion of JSON files. The examples only deal with converting JSON and CSV files, but this is simply for purposes of illustration. The same principles these demonstrate can of course be applied to JSON import and export to and from other FlowHeater Adapters, such as SQL databases or REST web service calls using the REST API Adapter.

New Heater “DateTime Convert” transforms date and time formats

24 August 2024

Transform Date/Time valuesTransform Date/Time valuesAs of this version you can now convert dates and time into different time zones and formats. The DateTime Convert Heater supports all available time zones. By default, your system’s time zone and UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) is assumed. Alternative settings in the DateTime Convert Heater also allow you to convert dates and times to Unix (also Linux) time. Unix time is expressed in the number of seconds that elapsed from Jan 1, 1970 until the date and time in question. With the DateTime Convert Heater you can easily convert back and forth between these different formats.
