DSXchange

I would like to see following enhancements ( Not sure if they are already in place).

a> Like in informatica, if we add some columns or change the existing the metadata in the preceding stages of the jobs. There should be option given to propagate the same changes in the subsequent stages. So that whenever we change the layout, we do not have to add in each of the stages manually.

b> This is mostly from the Business Analyst(BA) perspective. In case of large number of records, we have to use skip option of the view data. This makes our BA unhappy , as he has to learn the tool as well. Can the ouptut of the view data be allowed to export to excel or other viewing utilites.

Not sure if this is what you wanted but
A> the parallel engine always had the auto propogation feature of existing rows with the only constraint that you don't need any data manipulation on those field
B>you can always build a job that extracts some data into a CSV file and open it using excel
IHTH(I hope This Helps),

But, we don't have column auto propagation as what he is asking.

'Propagation' in Informatica is something completely different from RCP as it is a design time feaure, not a runtime one.

So Craig,you worked in Informatica too, great. :D

Currently working, yes.
