What's New

The following table describes the principal new features in Oracle Data Service Integrator 10gR3.

Feature	Details
Schema Type Browser	When developing Oracle Data Service Integrator dataspace projects, it is typically the case that the associated schema documents are distributed throughout multiple directories within the project. Oracle Data Service Integrator 10gR3 adds a new Schema Type Browser in Workshop for WebLogic that enables you to quickly locate schema types and associate a schema type with a data service without having to remember the specific schema document that contains the type. For example, you can browse the schema types within your dataspace projects using the Schema Type Browser, thereby enabling you to search for global types declared in schema files in the selected project or in all available dataspace projects. You can also select schema types within your Oracle Data Service Integrator dataspace projects using the Schema Type Browser when specifying the signature for an operation or when associating an XML type with a data service. For more information, see Browsing and Selecting a Schema Type.
Incremental Update Maps	An update map allows you to easily update a logical entity data service without having to write Java or XQSE code. Oracle Data Service Integrator generates a default update map automatically when you create a logical entity data service with a primary read function. This default update map is generated based on the primary read function of the data service. As you change the primary read function, the update map is regenerated automatically. In previous versions of Oracle Data Service Integrator, customizing the update map and then changing the primary read function resulted in the update map no longer being automatically regenerated. Oracle Data Service Integrator 10gR3 adds support for incremental update maps which enables maps to be updated incrementally after customizations, as required. For more information, see Understanding Update Maps.
Improved Command Line Validation	Oracle Data Service Integrator provides a mechanism that allows you to package a dataspace project's artifacts in a JAR file (with contents identical to what would be generated from the IDE) for deployment to an Oracle WebLogic Server. You can do this using an Ant script file, cmdline_build.xml, provided in the bin directory under the Oracle Data Service Integrator installation. Oracle Data Service Integrator 10gR3 adds a new command that enables you to validate the dataspace project at the specified path. The syntax of the command is as follows: ant -f <odsi_install_dir>/bin/cmdline_build.xml -Ddataspace-path=<dataspace-path> validate-dataspace For more information, see Validate, Build, Export, and Package Dataspace Projects from the Command Line Type.
Result Streaming	Using the Oracle Data Integrator Administration Console, you can now specify result streaming options when configuring the runtime settings for a dataspace. Specifically, you can set the following items: Capacity: Limits active streaming result sessions. When this capacity is exhausted, new requests are rejected immediately. Age limit: The number of seconds a streaming result handle should be kept active. Idle limit: The number of seconds an idling streaming result handle should be kept alive. For more information, see Setting the Server Resources.
