The following new features were introduced in this minor release of Toad for Oracle 12.12.
New Features
Automation Designer
-The Automation Designer now has a Connection Iterator, which enables you to set up an action to run
against multiple connections. Although you can run an action against multiple connections in the
Automation Designer (right click, then select Run with Connections), the iterator will persist for future use. This action is available from the Control tab.
-The legacy Schema Compare feature (Toad 12.10) has been combined with the Compare Multiple
Schemas feature (Toad 12.11) to produce a new Compare Multiple Schemas features. The 12.11
Compare Multiple Schemas window is now called “Compare Multiple Schemas – Legacy” and is
removed from the menu.
Action Console
-The Action Console has been mostly deprecated. The existing shortcut (Shift+F4) will continue to show
Action Console in all places where it existed, but all right-click menus for Action Console and all toolbar
buttons for it have been removed. These are replaced by a new advanced-context menu. When you
SHIFT + right-click the name of an object in the Editor or other relevant areas of Toad, an advanced
menu is displayed if the object can be resolved. If the object cannot be resolved, Toad shows the normal
context menu.
Code Analysis
-The Properties dialog of the Code Analysis action has been modified to allow just one file name,
because users specify the same name for all output types in most cases. Now you specify one base file
name and then select the output formats. Toad creates the files with the specified name and the
appropriate file extension.
-The pass/fail logic in Team Coding is now also in the Code Analysis functionality so that a user can fail
the Code Analysis action if it does not meet specifications.
The icons in various areas of Toad have been updated to have a more contemporary appearance.
