Abstract
A method executes at a computing device having a display, processors, and memory. The device displays a user interface for a data preparation application, including icons in a flow element palette, each icon representing a parameterized operation that can be inserted into data preparation flows in a flow pane of the user interface. A user places icons into the flow pane, visually defining flow elements for a flow that extracts data from selected data sources, transforms the extracted data, and exports the transformed data. The device retrieves the version number of a corresponding server application running on a server. Using a feature matrix, the device determines which flow elements are not supported by the data prep server application according to the version number. When there are flow elements not supported by the data prep server application running on the server, the device indicates this to the user.
