Over the last years, fme’s migration-center clients supplied a lot of valuable feedback. fme’s Product Business Unit has tried to integrate as many of those feature requests as possible in migration-center 4 in order to further streamline the overall migration process. The most important innovations and improvements to mention are multiple-value mapping lists, new transformation functions, custom processes, scheduler enhancements, and advanced folder creation.
A modernized migration-center job server’s architecture will allow multi-threading in all adapters, easier adapter deployment, and the integration of any kind of custom adapters or jobs – so that clients can expect faster migrations and support for new use cases. The job server and the client will use state-of-the-art REST web services for communication instead of proprietary protocols, making it even easier to implement custom adapters/jobs.
Another major change in migration-center 4 will be the client application. fme has developed the new migration-center client from scratch based on .NET technology. This leads to a state-of-the-art user interface with a much better user experience. Moreover, it allows keeping the client up-to-date with new developments in user interface design.
The first release of migration-center 4 is planned for early November this year. fme starts with the three mostly used adapters and will add all the other adapters subsequently.
