Hi @daniel , thank you for this great news,  
I wonder how I can now communicate the id to my dataset\_partition function, since cid: str is deprecated in get\_client\_fn.  
Is there any other way?  
Thank you in advance.  
Best regards,  
Viktor

Hi Viktor, I missed your reply!

There are several ways to do what you asked about, but the approach we use in code examples is to start each client (SuperNode) with a node config that has the details it needs:

```auto
flower-supernode [other args] --node-config "partition-id=0 num-partitions=3"

```

Those two key names are what the simulation engine inserts by default. So if you start your clients (SuperNodes) like that, and your app uses both to load a data partition using Flower Datasets, then your app will automatically be compatible with both simulation mode and deployment mode.
