Template Database – Apologies
Friday, April 4th, 2008A key feature of Differencia, is its ability to use comparison and file layout templates that remove the need for any configuration. You can simply select your files and run your reconciliations and comparisons without having to set-up the comparison parameters first. We have an online template database, from which they can be downloaded for free.
A kind user let us know, earlier this week, that templates were not available for download from the database. Although items were listed on the database, there were errors if you tried to download the actual template files. We added the first templates to the online database at the beginning of February. Unfortunately, it appears that the templates have probably not been available for most of the intervening time.
We restored the templates, only to find they were being removed again. We tracked down the source of the problem to an automated clean up process in our shopping cart software. The problem should now have been resolved.
Our apologies to all our customers, who have not been able access these templates.
Also, the database has only a limited number of templates available for the moment. We are working to expand the catalog, in conjunction with our forthcoming 1.1 release.
