  1. No code is in reality indeed a non-existing concept, however IBM App Connector Enterprise is a pretty impressive No/Low code tool, but it costs an arm and a leg. 
    We've moved hundreds of integrations to IBM ACE and APIC. It scales well, security is not an afterthought, it supports a ton of protocols, integration mechanisms or data formats, and has proper CI/CD support. And... the GUI sucks, and the primary "lowcode" language is ESQL - which is IBM proprietary 😛


    Price aside, still a better alternative than unproven No/Low code plugins for Delphi.

     

    Personally, I'd prefer to do integrations in .NET/C#.  An abundance of tooling and libs, and runs on multiple platforms.

    Is this an April 1 joke?

    Not really... but 

    • there is a bug where new users doesn't get added to the appropriate group aka Embarcadero Customers,
      something that prevents you from seeing issues that others have posted
    • still missing a full port of issues from the old JIRA

    They are working on both - but wanted to get the new Jira up and running.
    Yes, it is not as good for us end users as the old one, but it is not bad either.

    Check your Requests button to see if you can see the group.
    That search button is non-functional. It appears to be intended for a FAQ lists (which currently doesn't exist).

  3. Upgrading my primary workstation, I also found out that even when I uninstall Navigator (and not Bookmarks) from 12.0 - I stil get a complaint from the 12.1 installer that it can't find the Parnassus_XAthens.dll, even though it still is in the folder.
    It also complains about the FMXLinux plugin.  Go figure.


  4. Navigator causes a number of issues. I recommend uninstalling it for 12.0 if you have it installed, before installing 12.1.

    And, yes, it definitively screws the 11.x install as well, so back up the old DLLs before uninstalling and reinstalling

  5. Variable not initialized - I set that one to raise a compile error - because those WILL bite you.

    Also, you will get that if you init the variable inside a try block, instead of before the block.

     

    Hints are often nearly as important as warnings. 

     

    Value never used can f.x. mean that

    • you are referring to the wrong variable elsewhere
    • you are mistakenly replacing the value elsewhere before the one you initially set could be used
    • or, you didn't need to set that value because it would have been set elsewhere anyways

     


  6. I've not had issues with this as long as I keep the old settings. I upgrade two VMs and my workstation.

    If you run into installation counter issues, contact EMBT support.

     

    As for GetIt installations - yeah... that is "fun".  I keep my IDE on a GetIt component low count diet.
