Version 2018r2 of Altova MapForce Server became available on April 17, 2018. Learn about all the new features below and update to the latest version.
| MapForce® Server 2018r2 (April 17, 2018) |
|---|
| Support for Teradata 16 and MariaDB 10 databases |
| Support for node functions (Advanced Edition) |
MapForce Server can now process database mapping projects that include these databases.
MapForce Server Advanced Edition provides high-performance automation of data mapping projects that include the new node functions added to MapForce 2018r2.
Node functions are data processing functions and/or default values that may be assigned to one or more nodes without repeating the same function multiple times and without drawing mapping lines. Node functions and defaults are applied at the node level and may apply to one or multiple nodes at once, greatly reducing the time required to define and maintain mappings.
