Data360 Analyze

Hi,

We are currently in the process of upgrading from Lavastorm analytics to Data360.

While reading through the migrition guide and the brainscript changes we ran into some questions regarding functions that are used in our old lavastorm graphs.

In the migration guide we found the following text regarding Unsupported script functions:

"Previously, if you entered a BRAINscript function that was not recognized, but it was recognized
by Expert, then it would still work. Now, only functions that exist in the Data3Sixty Analyze script
language are supported."

We do have nodes that make use of these functions. So if i read this, i would assume they will no longer work if we import the old graphs into data360.

However, when we looked in the Brainscript changes documentation we found the following information:

"If you enter a BRAINscript function that is not recognized, but it is recognized by Expert, then it will still work,however the node will report a warning about the unrecognized function."

So now we are wondering if we have to go through all our old graphs and change these functions manually before we upgrade and import them into Data360 or if they will still work in data360 as long as we dont change the nodes?

Kind regards,

Jurgen

Legacy 'Expert' functions were deprecated (but still recognized) in Lavastorm 6.1. Earlier versions of Analyze did not recognize Expert functions and generated an 'unrecognized function' warning. 

To steamline the migration of user assets from Lavastorm to Analyze, the Analyze application was modified in the v.3.6.0 release to allow the use of legacy Expert functions within BRAINScript. This enabled Expert functions such as sum() , count() , etc to be permitted in scripts instead of the corresponding BRAINScript functions (groupSum() , groupCount() etc).

There are still restrictions on using certain aspects of BRAINScript in Analyze as advised in the documentation. However, many of the common issues that would previously generate a warning are now permitted, enabling the Lavastorm graphs to import and the relevant nodes to run successfully.

Thank you for this answer Adrian, happy to hear that most of these functions should atleast work in the start when we migrate.
