Note: Data Director now runs as an x64 application and installation will install the files into Program Files instead of the Program Files (x86) folder.
If you are upgrading from version 3.2.126 or an older version of Data Director, you must first uninstall the older version, to clear it from the Program Files (x86) folder before you install this version.
To keep current setup between versions, before uninstalling the old version, take backup of lsretail.config file and work folder (if any jobs are still in queue) from DD Data Folder. Uninstall the old version. Replace the files back to Data Folder. Install new version.
Note: Database Connection string for Business Central Database must have an |bc ending, not |navXXX (which is only for Navision databases).
This version was released in January 2024 and includes the following improvements and bug fixes.
LSTS-29109 / LSTS-30099: SaaS Fixes
Field indexes were out of sync when reading Field Design.
Handling of empty filter values and with ' char
Handling of DateTime values.
LSTS-28904: TXT and XML replication
Support uni-code handling when replicating using Text or XML file mode.
LSTS-29516: Field mix up for Linked table job
If primary key fields for main table were missing in source database, it could mess up the linking between main and linked tables, which cause linked table data not to be found.
LSTS-29638: Blob Replication
Blob replicatino between SaaS and OnPrem cause blob data to be invalid as it is unknown if the Blob field in LS Central is compressed or not. DD can handle all cases except SaaS to OnPrem. In that case there has to be one record available in OnPrem destination database for DD to check if the field is compressed or not.
DEV-45209: Add Processing status
Job Monitor shows Processing status for Host when Database process is working on getting or updating data.
DEV-45856: Azure and offline hosts
Azure replication can handle offline hosts. Jobs will timeout in Job Monitor if Offline host has not pulled the data for x amount of time. When host wakes up again, jobs are activated again in Job Monitor.
Better handling of error and status messages between Azure host and HO (Source) Host.
DEV-46002: Amazon Storage support
Support Amazon AWS S3 file storage for Offline hosts.
LSC-47436: New DD Monitor Line table in LS Central version 24.0
Index for DDMonitorLine table had to be changed, which cause the table name to be changed to DDMonitorLine2. When using Monitor Collection with LS Central version 24 or later, connection string parameter has to be set to bc24 instead of bc.
Minor fixes
- Add MinDiskSpace to Config file to set minimum free disk space on DD host before it stops accepting job.
- Keep previous error message when job is put on Hold.
- Ctrl-A works in Configuration Tool fields.
- Fix 1st Pack error in Configuration tool Queue view.
- Pull Monitor program update.
- Limit Pull Now button for Offline host pull, it will be disabled for a few seconds after being pushed.
- Ignore $systemid when doing update record to handle "record exist" error.
- Replication counter jobs with range 1-1 cause no record to be found.
- Router Logging to file was stopped on Status update.
