Changes in System Behavior
Generate an initial sample:
When generating an initial sample from a set of files in a directory, the maximum number of files that can be read is now limited to 10.
- Previously, the Designer Cloud application read files until either 10MB of data or all matching files had been scanned.
- This change is to limit the number of files that must be read for various operations in the Transformer page. It only applies to generating the initial sample type. Other sampling types, such as random sample, can scan the full set of files.
For more information on sampling, see Overview of Sampling.
Transformer page:
Improved performance of the Transformer page through asynchronous loading of initial samples.

Release 9.2
What's New
Lock/unlock column data type:
You can now lock or unlock a column's data type. When the data type is locked, the Designer Cloud application no longer attempts to infer the column's data type when subsequent recipe steps are applied.
Tip: You can unlock the individual 's column data type through column menu. To the left of the column name, you can click the icon and select Automatically update to change the column's data type. For more information, see Column Menus.
Tip: As an early step in your recipe, you can use the Advanced column selector in the Change column data type transformation to specify locking of the data types for all columns.
For more information, see Change Column Data Type.
Changes in System Behavior
Set column data type transformation locks the column's type by default:
Starting in this release, the column data type is locked by default when you change the column data type.
NOTE: This change in behavior does not affect recipe steps that were defined before this release. Column data types continue to be re-inferred after those recipe steps. For those steps, you can edit them and mark them as locking the data type, if preferred.
If required, you can unlock the column's data type. For more information, see Change Column Data Type.
Deprecated
