Functionality
Can a data-source be read once and written to two or more different target tables/databases? Yes, by using DataDrop operator.

Is there an ability to schedule jobs based on interdependencies? Yes, by factoring in the interdependencies in the data transforming design.
Can the route taken by following jobs be based on errors detected in the preceding job? Yes, using OnError task in Job Scheduler.
Is impact analysis possible for a proposed change to the database? Partial, by reading in the repository as a data source to examine dependencies. A full metadata tool is planned for further.
Is it possible to trace the source of an attribute/data element quickly? (reversed impact analysis) Partial, by reading in the repository as a data source to examine dependencies. A full metadata tool is planned for further.
Is it possible to publish/document a given process/transformation and navigate through it with a browser or word processor? Partial, by reading in the repository as a data source to examine dependencies and publish as a report output. A full metadata tool is planned for further.
Is it possible to use the results of a data mining process within a given load process? Yes, through Ant Task to trigger external process before reading in the results. This is also support for ARFF, a data mining format.
Is it possible to call analytical functions e.g. forecasting, basket analysis, regression from within the load process? Yes, through Ant Task to trigger external process before reading in the results. This is also support for ARFF, a data mining format.
