We’re thrilled to introduce our latest iteration of WhereScape 3D! Version 9.0.3 brings a host of new features and enhancements designed to make your data warehousing journey smoother, faster, and more efficient. Let’s dive into the details of what you can expect from this update.
Conversion Properties
In this new release, conversion properties can now be defined using Pebble templates. This enhancement makes managing configurations within model conversion rules more powerful and versatile. It allows for individual model conversion rules to be executed multiple times in an iterative manner, which can be useful for tasks like:
- Creating multiple copies of an entity or attribute based on values defined in a list.
- Assigning entities to groups based on extended property values.
These capabilities open up new possibilities for customizing and fine-tuning your data models. Imagine being able to generate numerous versions of an entity with just a few tweaks to a template!
Pebble Templating Updates
Speaking of Pebble templates, we’ve added some fantastic new features here as well. You can now access a list of dependent entities and attributes within Pebble templates. Plus, there’s a wider selection of information about categories and models that is now accessible. This means you have even more data at your fingertips to craft precise and powerful templates that fit your exact needs.
Performance Improvements
We know that speed is crucial when it comes to data warehousing, and WhereScape 3D 9.0.3 does not disappoint. There have been significant improvements to the execution speeds of all model conversion rules, particularly when working with remote repositories. Here’s a quick snapshot of the performance gains:
| Model Conversion Rule | Previous Time | New Time | Improvement |
| Add entity extended property | 15 min 20 sec | 5 min 25 sec | 65% |
| Delete entity extended properties | 12 min 15 sec | 4 min 20 sec | 65% |
| Add attribute extended property | 1 hour 15 min | 18 min 10 sec | 76% |
| Delete attribute extended properties | 55 min | 15 min 20 sec | 72% |
These improvements will make a noticeable difference in your workflow, allowing you to spend less time waiting and more time analyzing and making decisions based on your data.
Configurable Workflows
User-defined workflows just got a major upgrade. With this new release, workflow buttons can now be configured to validate models and perform complex conversions with ease. This enhancement means you can tailor your workflows to a larger range of use cases, making WhereScape 3D even more adaptable to your specific needs.
DevOps Enhancements
Several improvements have been made to the WhereScape 3D CLI, enhancing the user experience when creating custom workflow scripts. These new features provide an enhanced experience when creating repositories or manipulating repository configurations as part of your DevOps processes. This means smoother, more efficient integration with your existing DevOps pipelines.
