You are now able to upgrade to the newest version of DataSync - version 0.3 ( download link below ). If you already have DataSync installed, the next time you open DataSync you will see a prompt to update your version to the current one. If you do not have the previous version of DataSync installed you can download version 0.3 below.

This release of DataSync comes with enhancements and new features, many of which are based off of customer requests:

  • Ability to transfer data between two datasets: Port Jobs now support transferring data between two existing datasets on one domain or across two different domains.
  • Support for publishing files with and without a header row: Previously it was required that the CSV file to be published had a header row, now you can publish data with or without a header.
  • Run and configure jobs purely through the command line: Now you can configure the parameters for a job and optionally authentication parameters through the command line. This gives more flexibility integrating DataSync into ETL processes. Previously, one had to configure jobs and input authentication details using the UI and then save the job before running through the command line. Now you can do everything needed to run a standard job through the command line. To learn how to use DataSync in command line mode run:
    java -jar datasync_0.3.jar --help
  • Support for TSV files: Now DataSync supports publishing .TSV (tab-separated value) in addition to .CSV (comma- separated value) files
  • Help bubbles to explain features within the UI: makes DataSync easier for new users to learn how to use.
  • Ability to configure file chunking settings: Now you can configure the parameters for automatic file chunking for optimizing uploading of very large files (go to Edit -> Preferences).
  • JUnit Testing Framework: this is relevant to developers working with the DataSync source code.
