What’s New in the DataFlux Data Management Studio Installation and Configuration Guide

Overview

The June 2017 update for DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.7 provided performance and stability enhancements. Additional information and clarity was added to the DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.7: Installation and Configuration Guide to reflect some of those enhancements.

New DAC Option

A new option, DAC/DISABLE_OLD_STYLE_FS_DSN, was added to determine whether to use DataFlux Federation Server definitions from the SAS Metadata Repository or use existing DNS files.

New Web Service Node Option

A new option, WEBSERVICE/REQUEST_TIMEOUT, was added to specify the number of seconds that the Web Service node should wait for a response from the web service.

Renamed Files

The following files were renamed:
  • Dfwfproc was renamed to batch.cfg.
  • Dfwsvc.cfg renamed to service.cfg.
  • Dfwfproc.log.xml renamed to batch.log.xml.
  • Dfwsvc.log.xml renamed to service.log.xml.

Changes to Nodes

The SAP Remote Function Call node should be used only with the SAP Unicode Libraries.

Updated Migration Instructions

All DataFlux Data Management Studio or DataFlux Data Management Server migrations now use the SAS Deployment Wizard. See the Upgrading Existing Installations of the Software for more information.
With the release of SAS Visual Process Orchestration 4.2, the migration table in Migrating to SAS 9.4 has been updated. Migration is still manual.

Restriction on Saving Configuration Files

When editing a configuration file, save it as an ASCII or UTF-8 file. If it is saved as a Unicode file, the software can fail to start and will log this error message: "Read failed due to missing file or possibly invalid content in 'c:\path\file.cfg.'"
