GTData version 15.0.0.4 is Available


GTData version 15.0.0.4 is available.

GTData doesn't change a lot anymore.  There are some minor fixes and tweaks, but nothing major.  Most of the Data Conversion updates are in the GTech Loader or the Oracle Loader and those are delivered separately anyway.   With version 15.0.0.4, only the Core utilities are provided in a Zip file instead of using a Setup.   There are still 37 utilities delivered in the Zip file, but these are the self-contained utilities that don't need any dependencies, registration, etc..  They are also the most used of the utilities.

Delivering the utilities as a Zip file will simplify the process of getting the apps to the right directories in your setups.  You will not have to run an installation, then move them.

If you still need one of the utilities not provided in the Core delivery, it will be in the previous full setup.  Full setups will still be created when enough changes accumulate.
