Just Upgraded to V15

So I just updated my Monarch Complete from V14.3 to V15, and while I do appreciate the more trap interactive tools in the newest edition, the one feature from prior DPS versions I miss is the ability to start identifying values to trap and then complete the model in classic.  The advantage to this approach was to automatically differentiate between the different trap templates, detail, append, etc., and allow the ability to fine tune what was identified in a DPS model within the classic portion of Monarch for potential future automation of the same report types.  However, I cannot see how I can migrate the model that is automatically created in a work space into the classic version now.  Any ideas?

    v15 of Data Prep introduced "Report Design" which is change from v14.3 and before which contained "Report Discovery".  Report Design should have most (if not all) of the same features that Monarch Classic's report design contained (Detail, Append, Footer, Page Header, Start/Stop Regions, Exclusion templates).  Any other modeling would be handled by DPS once you load the table that report design created (Calculated fields, lookup tables, joins, etc.).   Once you have loaded the report in report design, you should not need to export that into Monarch Classic.

     

    Monarch Server Automator allows for automation of DPS workspaces via visual processes.

    Ok then.  I was not sure if you could automate the workspace for different documents with the same report format, like you could with models.  Thank you for the insight.

    One of the great things about Data Prep is the ability to not only add several document of the same report format, you can also add different document types to the same workspace (text, excel, XML, etc.) and these can also be automated.
