BimlExpress 2019 R1 Release Notes

Significant changes between BimlExpress 2018 R3 and BimlExpress 2019 R1

2019 Support

• Added SqlServer 2019 support.
• Added Visual Studio 2019 and SSIS 2019 support.

SSIS

• Removed NoXML validation for SQL Server index nodes as they can now have XML datatypes.
• Fixed bug where Annotations created on OutputBuffer columns were not being persisted.
• Fixed bug where Container property TransactionOption was being evaluated as an object rather than an int32.
• Fixed typo in MergeJoin error message.
• Added fix to correctly emit BlobColumns in BufferWrapper.cs for ScriptProjects.
• Removed Codepage property from FlatFileFormat Columns, as the codepage gets set on the FlatFileFormat and is not configurable at the column level.
• Fixed bug in GetQuerySchema(), where column nodes were not correctly reading ComputedText and IsNullable properties.
