DS8.5: Balanced Optimization is that to redesign the job automatically with maximize performance by minimizing the amount of input and output performed, and by balancing the processing against source, intermediate, and target environments. The Balanced Optimization enables to take advantage of the power of the databases without becoming an expert in native SQL.
DS8.7: No Change
8. Transformer Enhancements
DS8.5: Looping in the transformer, Multiple output rows to be produced from a single input row. 1. New input cache: SaveInputRecord(), GetSavedInputRecord().
2. New System Variables: @ITERATION, @Loop Count, @EOD(End of data flag for last row).
3. Functions : LastRowInGroup(InputColumn).
4. Null Handling more Options.
DS8.7: No Change
9. Big Data File Stage :
DS8.5: Not Exist
DS8.7: Big Data File Stage for Big Data sources (Hadoop Distributed File System-HDFS).
11. Added Encryption Techniques
DS8.5: Not Exist
DS8.7: Encrypted because of security reasons.
1. Strongly encrypted credential files for command line utilities.
2. Strongly encrypted job parameter files for dsjob command.
3. Encryption Algorithm and Customization.
