The availability of the following new features, enhancements and corrected issues is dependent on the installed edition of the product and licensed features.
Disable scheduler on start
Added a checkbox in the installer to disable the scheduler on initial start-up. This is useful when restoring from a backup that contains schedules that should not be run, for example where the instance is used as a backup in a HA environment.
JDBC driver updates
- Snowflake JDBC driver updated to version 3.20.0
- Postgres JDBC driver updated to 42.7.4
- Oracle JDBC driver updated to 23.5.0.24.07
- Maria DB driver updated to 3.5.0
Third party library updates
A number of third party libraries have been updated to take advantage of any security and feature updates, including:
- Tomcat upgraded to 9.0.96
- The shipped Java is upgraded to 11.0.25.9.1
- The shipped PostgreSQL is upgraded to 16.4
- Jython upgraded to 2.7.4
Other changes
- Execution sandboxing: When using a Docker l2bridge network with execution sandboxing, the trusted host configuration is setup by default for the l2bridge scenario where communication from the web application will appear to the containers to come over the host's IP instead of the gateway IP. Added configuration in the
executionContainersenable script to be able to override this behavior. - Tabular XML File node: A new SubstituteInvalidCharacters property has been added to the Tabular XML File node. If this property is set to True, the node will substitute both characters that are reserved characters in the metadata (for example, newline, ':') and characters which are not in the Data360 Analyze server's character set into a valid alternative such that the field names in the metadata are valid.
- Azure Datalake Storage List node: A new Minimal option has been added to the MetadataMode property. When selected, custom user defined metadata and the creation date are not reported by the node, however extreme performance improvements can be expected when choosing this option.
- FTP nodes: A new property KeyExchangeAlgorithm has been added to enable you to set a Key Exchange Algorithm when the SFTP Protocol is used.
- SAML documentation: New content has been added in the SAML SSO configuration section to cover the renewal of the Signing and Encryption Credential certificates.
- Database Metadata and Database Profiler nodes: For tracking purposes, the Database Metadata and Database Profiler nodes now append Precisely information in the connection parameters. When connecting to Snowflake, the JDBC URL now contains:
application=PreciselyAnalyze - Notification dialog: The notification dialog can now be dismissed by clicking outside of it.
Corrected issues
