 ■Introducing DataSpider Servista 4.1
 In DataSpider Servista 4.1., there are various additional functions
 that have originated by customer requests.
 This time we would like to introduce newly added adapters and components
 from those functions.

 ■Data Log Output Adapter
  ▼Original Request
  We would like to confirm whether the intended data is being ransferred. 
  We can confirm it by changing the log level to DEBUG, but since it applies
  to all the process in script, many items are exported as well so it takes
  a lot of time to check.

  So we would like to limit the item that can be exported.

  ▼Function Explanation
  Among the input data, the specific item will output to an execution log.
  Tabel-model type and XML type input data is supported.

 ■Assertion Adapter
  *Renewed the component that was prior to the version 4.1 and was provided
  with the following name:

  "Match/No Match (FIle Comparison)"
  "Match/No Match (Data Comparison)

  ▼Original Request
  We would like to run an assertion easily other than the
  simple matching/unmatcing output data. 
  I would like to compare the binary of files.

  ▼Function Explanation
  The following comparison is available:
  ・Tabel-model comparison
   Expected values of table-mode type data source and CSV file are compared
   based on the conditions. 

   You can select various comparison conditions
   (match/unmatch/regular expression match etc.) by column.

   Also, you can compare based on the data characteristic
   (match of occurrence order, match regardless of the order, 
   appearance of expected row) by row.

   For example, it is possible to assert by if specific row exists,
   regardless of the number of input data's row or order.

  ・File Comparison
   Compares two files and if it does not match, the assertio
   exception occurs.

   An error will occur even if the data is slightly different so
   this is appropriate in a situation where you want to check to see
   whether it exactly matches.

  ・Variable Comparison
   Compares based on the condition of a variable or fixed value.
   The comparison condition is the same as the table-model comparison process.

   Before, it was possible to combine [Conditional Branch] process and
   [Exceptional Notification] process to purposely raise an error if the
   processing results with an unexpected value.

   However, now the number of the icon has increased so it was not
   wise to do so anymore.

   From now on, you can run the same process just by this component.

  ■Supplementary
  ・For details regarding the new function, please read
    " 4.1 New Function Guide" 
  ・In case of upgrade, please refer to "4.1 Upgrade Guide"
  ・Please confirm the details of each function at product help.

 ■How to Obtain 4.1

 Also, the description of each document is noted in README so please read it.

 adapter or patch,
 please wait for the release of 4.1 SP1.
