New Features and Improvements
WhereScape presents RED 10.4 a new version of RED with new features that ease RED 10 migrations and continue to enhance scheduling capabilities. The features implemented in this version are mainly focused on enabling RED 10 migration pathways for traditional RED customers on SQL Server, Oracle and Teradata inbuilt targets3rd party integrations with external tools like GIT, but also enhances the UI and enables the ability to add scripted workflows based on the current context in the RED UI.
Workflow Scripts
Workflow scripts, when defined, will appear in the context menu throughout the RED UI. When clicking on them in any context menu, the underlying script will be executed and provided with the complete object list contained by the context. This allows for integration scripts to be written that can perform actions on lists of objects, such as: creating deployment applications, checking items in and out of GIT, running external tests on the objects selected, exporting data to catalog tools, backing up scripts to disk and more!
The following changes have been made to support this new feature:
- A new Host Script Language category has been added for Workflow scripts:
- Host Script Objects assigned to a Workflow script type will appear in most context menus in RED and when selected will execute the script and provide a file containing the objects contained by the context:
- Host Script Languages can now have specific icons assigned (via Host Script Language maintenance):
Improvements for 3rd Party Integrations
- CheckIn/CheckOut feature will now trigger execution of a script, if present, to support GIT integrations. Add script names of wsl_workflow_checkin and wsl_workflow_checkout to enable this feature.
- Added new endpoints to the RED metadata service, objectsExportByName and jobsExportByName, that export metadata in a GIT friendly format.
- Deployment Application Creation via command line now accepts a specific set of objects to deploy based on the JSON structure that RED Workflow scripts produce.
- RedCli commands on script, procedure and templates now support an 'export-all' option, useful for GIT integrations. Additionally single export allows specifying a directory for auto creation of the filename and extension for the object.
- Added Scheduler API environment variables to all script executions to support actions like releasing another job via scripts.
3D Integration - New Merge Settings for Source Mappings
When deploying Objects with multiple Source Mappings via 3D Export to RED you can now control the merge behavior when updating existing Objects Source Mapping Sets. There is now a new option with three settings when deploying from 3D to RED.
Option: ‘Existing Source Mapping Sets will be’
- Replaced: [Default] Replaces the entire Source Mapping Set (Source Mappings can be removed in this mode)
- Merged using Application: Merges the Sets, resolving conflicts by deploying Source Mappings from this Application - Add and Update.
- Merged using Repository: Merges the Sets, resolving conflicts by retaining Source Mappings in the Repository - Add only.
This feature will be particularly useful to organizations with multiple development teams or projects affecting the same objects in RED, allowing them to deploy only the new Source Mappings that they have added and avoid deploying out-of-date changes to existing Source Mappings.
