(04-02-21) App When signing up for Tidal Migrations, if the user creation failed, for example, because the password did not meet our password requirements, you would have to choose a different domain name to retry the sign-up flow. It is now possible to retry the sign-up process with the same domain name if it fails the first time.
We updated the design of the Applications, Servers, Database Instances and Virtualization Clusters tables. The new design also includes improved support for tablets.
Tidal Tools
now tidal analyze

(10-12-20) App Sometimes when a user tries to use our app, they're trying to go to a specific route, say /apps
, but it's been over 8 hours since they last logged in. This means our app will then prompt them to log in again. Previously, we would redirect the user to the default route, /
. But now that we remember our user's goal, we will immediately direct them to their intended location. In the case above they would be directed to /apps
.
(18-12-20) App We caught and fixed some rendering regressions in our menus.
(18-12-20) App We fixed a regression that caused the Excel export of the applications table to fail if the Database Size and Source Code Location columns were present. You can now include these columns in your Excel export again, and they will be rendered correctly.

We’re proud to announce the launch of our recommendation feature! One of the first steps in the planning stage of your cloud migration is to choose a transition type, one of the 6 Rs, for each application. With a large portfolio, it can be difficult to know where to start. You might ask questions like “which of my apps are worth refactoring? Should I rehost or replatform this app?” Tidal’s recommendation engine can help point you in the right direction. Once you complete your assessment, our algorithm will recommend a transition type for each application.
The new Cloud Architecture Gallery provides migration teams with a pick-list of architectures to choose from, which can be curated by a Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) organization. It is easy to get stuck in the planning phase of your cloud migration journey. With a curated gallery of proven architectures to choose from, your teams can instead focus on the actual migration. This feature allows your CCoE to manage a set of approved cloud patterns for migration teams to draw from, and more easily scale their migration factory to multiple teams.

We've since taught it how conciseness is key characteristic when communicating with users.
(07-07-20) App In the application view, sometimes really long URLs would break outside their constraints and cause the view to become really wide. We have since added electric fences to prevent URLs from escaping their enclosures.
(16-07-20) App We fixed an issue where long application names would carry over to new lines in the assessment PDF causing layout issues.
(20-07-20) App We fixed a bug when reporting the total progress made in assessing an application.

results if we have any, and skip those which failed.
(28-05-20) App There was an issue where the table in the technologies view would raise a stink at other elements on the page. We've had a talk to the table about it's behavior and it's agreed to keep a safe distance from other elements.
(29-05-20) App When a user would change the name of a field the name of the field wasn't updated within the application records. We've fixed this behavior and when a field's meta information change it is now reflected everywhere.
Finding the value of an application is complicated, we realize that you might not be able to quantify it based on value to business alone. So we have split the concept of value to business into three new fields: annual revenue, annual person hours saved, and regulated requirements.
