      Thanks for sharing what's new in DI Eduardo Schmidt Haussen. !

      I have already started the Git Terminal application and assign the sap.dh.gitTerminal.start policy to a user, but the integrated terminal is not showing up in the Modeler.

      Is there anything else that should be done to get the terminal running in the modeler ?

       

      Best regards and thanks

      Martin

      Hi Martin,

      Go through this KBA. It helped me resolve the issue. Looks to be an issue in the way user settings are not able to reset until we manually perform the action as specified in SAP note.

      3235169 - Git Terminal tab doesn't appear in Modeler UI - SAP Data Intelligence

      Thanks, Sharath

      Hi Eduardo,

      Any documentation on how to work with GitTerminal would be helpful. I have assigned the policy, started git terminal, have cleared cache. Do not see the GitTerminal in Modeler application.

      Any KBA on how to activate gitTerminal would be helpful.

      Thanks,Sharath
