DSharp Studio Upgrade Course

Description

The new Analysis Engine in DSharp Studio analyses your model and reports errors and warnings as well as gives you suggestions about how to configure the model. Some errors are critical, and the DW conversion will not continue for classes having critical errors until these have been sorted out. Hence, depending on your model, upgrading DSharp Engine to DSharp Studio may require some model maintenance tasks in order to get the DW conversion up and running again. Once this is done as a one-time chore, you will find that going forward, the Analysis Engine will make your work easier and your models better than before.

Upgrading provides you with a good opportunity to go over your model and fix modeling inconsistencies. Some of these may change the underlying implementation (for example, changing key type from non-business key to Business key will create a new hub that wasn’t there earlier), and you will need to handle that implementation change case by case.

You can also choose not to make breaking changes in the model, only set the parameters in such way that the issue is solved, after which DSharp Studio will produce the same end result as DSharp Engine. This minimises technical work and associated risks, but your model (up to this point) will still be of lesser quality.

Content

• Overview
• Critical errors and alternatives for handling them
• Hands-on cases with example model and database

Details

Any existing installations generated with DSharp Engine are already guaranteed to pass most of the critical tests, but there is a small number of new analysis cases that DSharp Studio deems critical. We’ll walk through the most common critical errors expected to be found in an already deployed model, and some alternatives how to fix them. Typically the same critical error can be solved exactly the same way in all cases, and the number of distinct error types found in a project is usually not particularly big.
