A customer recently asked if they could over-ride the project database connection settings when using GO Loader Agent . There are some additional command line parameters introduced in GO Loader v1.6.1 allowing for over-riding the database connection information in the GO Loader project.

This is useful for moving your GO Loader Agent implementation between environments, without having to have several copies of the project. For example when moving from development then to test and through to the live environment. You can be sure your GO Loader project is exactly the same, whilst only changing the database you connect to at run-time.

If you are implementing GO Loader Agent, read up on the notes in the on the public WIKI here;

 

Currently our product documentation is available as PDF files downloadable via the Customer Portal. We are aiming to move away from documents formally released in this way, to a more light-weight process via a public WIKI.

To start this move, the current documentation is now available via our WIKI here; http://wiki.snowflakesoftware.com

You can see that as well as the current documentation, there are documentation updates in progress which we are working on at the same time as the Early Access product changes. This means you get to see document changes much earlier than their formal release. If you are part of the Early Access programme, do look for document changes in the WIKI. For the moment, the current documents can be found both in the Customer Portal and this WIKI.

As we move towards this being the primary access point for documentation, we will work on improvements such as guides for using the WIKI to best effect. When we are a bit less shy, we will also update the WIKI to allow you to see our photos and profiles too!
