GroupBy Heater with InString grouping

Release notes for version 2.1.0 on August 1, 2011

GroupBy Heater with InString grouping

GroupBy Heater with InString grouping

In earlier versions of FlowHeater, the GroupBy Heater only grouped data for an identical series of incoming field values. As of this version, the GroupBy Heater also supports grouping on a substring of the input values. A new group is started for each occurrence in the incoming data of a substring specified in the GroupBy Heater properties.

e.g. 

From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Name: import
Info: Yes
From: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Name: export
Info: No

In this case, entering the value “From:” as the grouping condition in the GroupBy Heater will cause the blocks/groups to each commence with the “From:” substring.

Arithmetic heaters with optional operands

An additional X-Value Heater was previously required to apply a constant operand for the arithmetic heaters Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide. As of this release, a static value can be directly entered into the relevant Heater to provide a simple operand. These heaters now also provide a further simplification feature by permitting the assignment of multiple input parameters.

Bug fix: Excel Adapter

The Excel Adapter now first checks that the user does not already have the Excel workbook open.
