Hi Dojo,
Does anyone know what the minimum required versions are that support DirectConnection tables? Is it 10.3.0 for the main release and 10.2.3 for the feature release?
If a protocol has a DirectConnection table defined and the DMA does not have Elastic or OpenSearch installed, what happens to the table? I know that other logger tables are initialized on Cassandra if no indexing database is installed. Does the same thing happen to DirectConnection tables?
DirectConnection already exists for a while.
I think it's safe to say that you can use it since DM 10.0. It existed prior to that but were still actively being develop so their might have been many missing features in prior versions. I'm taking some shortcuts here because I would hope it's not necessary to dig deeper into what was possible or not prior to DM 10.0.
However, another major new feature was implemented in the versions you mentioned (main 10.3.0 and feature 10.2.3), that is the ability to define a Primary Key so that DM can update a given db entry. Prior to that, the only possibility was to add new entries to db but there was no way to update existing ones.
Regarding what happens when the DMA does not have Elastic or OpenSearch and does it fall back to Cassandra, I don't know. I'll leave it up to my colleagues to answer that part 🙂
