Outdated Tasks

Outdated Tasks

If improvements are made to a Task which may change its existing behavior, then a new version number of that Task will be created. Each version of a Task is numbered using a format of x.y, where x is the major version number and y is the minor version number of the Task. For instance, the version number 1.0 represents the first version of a Task. Version 2.0 represents the next major version of a Task and so on.
Even though a new version of a Task may be made available by Informatica in a product upgrade, existing Projects will continue to use the version of the Task(s) when those Projects were created. Those Projects will not automatically use the latest versions. This preserves the behavior of existing Projects, which allows you to upgrade
Managed File Transfer
 without having to retest all of your Projects.
For example, to support Excel 2007 documents (.xlsx), changes were required to how the Read Excel and Write Excel Tasks functioned. So a new version 2.0 of the Excel Tasks were created, but any existing Projects will still use the 1.0 version of those Excel Tasks to preserve their behavior.
When adding a new Task to a Project, the Task will default to use its latest version. If the execution of a Task is not producing the desired outputs, you can choose an earlier version of a Task (if available) by using one of the following methods:
  1. Create New Task using Prior Version
  2. Convert existing Tasks to Newer or Prior versions
