Database transactions
Release notes for version 2.0.6 on June 20, 2011
Database transactions
The WRITE Adapter property AutoCommitAfter allows you to control how FlowHeater builds import/update transactions when writing to a database.- 0 = a single transaction is used for the complete import/update process (default)
- X = (a number) after each X rows are written, an AutoCommit is executed
- -1 (new) no database transactions are used
The new (-1) option disables database transactions (each row is effectively committed as soon as it is written) and this is useful when used together with the ODBC Adapter or OleDB Adapter when the underlying ODBC/OleDB database or driver cannot cope with database transactions.

Bug Fix: GroupBy Heater
Release notes for version 1.3.2 on March 5, 2011
Bug Fix: GroupBy Heater
When the GroupBy Heater was used together with the Filter Heater in a Definition and the first record / data row was filtered out by the Filter Heater, processing of the first grouping failed to process properly. This problem only occurred in Memory Mode, whereas Mass Data Mode was not affected. The problem is resolved with this release.
