New in 3.16.1 - Data360_Analyze

Data360 Analyze 3.16.1 hotfix v2 release

Note: Fixed an issue identified in the earlier hotfix release in the Send Email node.

The earlier fix addressed the issue with spaces when the Send Email node was a standalone node, that is, without preceding nodes. However, it failed when the email lists were provided by a field on the input pin of the node, which came from a higher-level Data Flow property. Apply this newer hotfix to fix the issue.

Important: Download the newer version of the Hotfix LAE-35725-3.16.1-HotfixV2.zip and manually apply it to your 3.16.1 version. The steps to apply the hotfix are included in the zip package.

Fixed upgrade issues

Upgrade issues that were previously encountered when upgrading from versions 3.12.4 and 3.16.0 have been resolved in version 3.16.1.

Proxy support for ADLS nodes

Added the ability to specify and use a proxy on the ADLS nodes. This enhancement allows users to configure proxy settings, including Proxy URL, Proxy Username, and Proxy Password, for all ADLS nodes (List, Get, Delete, Put). This ensures seamless connectivity even in environments requiring proxy authentication.

Execution sandboxing updates

Execution sandboxing has been enhanced to prevent conflicts between scheduled executions and container cleanup. Newly created containers are no longer considered for "unmanaged" cleanup, and if a container is cleaned up during execution, the system will recreate it automatically. This ensures smoother execution workflows.

Option to disable scheduler during installation

A new checkbox has been added to the installer, allowing you to disable the scheduler on initial startup. This is particularly useful when restoring from a backup containing schedules that should not run immediately, such as in a high-availability (HA) environment.

Support for /etc/hosts configuration in sandbox containers

You can now add a boolean property ls.brain.server.docker.containersInheritHosts (default value is false) to the cust.prop file to configure execution sandboxing containers to "inherit" the entries in the hosts file (/etc/hosts) on Linux.

Additionally, you can explicitly configure extra hosts by adding the new property ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts to the cust.prop file. It is an array of <hostName>:<IP> entries. For example,

ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts=("bar.example.com:12.113.123.60"
                    "foo.bar.com:10.192.13.58")

.

Note: The property ls.brain.server.docker.extraContainerHosts will set extra hosts on the container but will not have any effect on Windows.

Error messaging improvements

Improved error messaging for execution sandboxing on Windows. If target locations that are not under C:/ are used without proper mapping in the repositoryTargetMappings.json file, the system now provides clear error messages.

Performance improvements

Significantly improved the performance of directory move operations, particularly during ACL (Access Control List) validation.

Third party library updates

A number of third party libraries have been updated to take advantage of any security and feature updates, including:

Java upgraded to version 17.0.13.11.
PostgreSQL upgraded to version 16.6.
Tomcat upgraded to version 9.0.98.

Usability changes

The Get Metadata node inside the X-Ref Metadata node uses the latest Get Metadata node instead of Get Metadata (Deprecated).

Corrected issues

Issue Summary	Issue Number
Fixed an issue where the Tabular XML File node failed to process files with field names containing special characters. The Tabular XML File node now runs successfully with a tabular XML file chosen from the file picker.	LAE-35480
Fixed an issue where legacy connection filters could not be updated, and a console error was displayed when opening the dialog.	LAE-35473
Fixed an issue where node log exports failed to include BRD files for input/output data and metadata.	LAE-35443
Fixed an issue in the "Do While" and "Do While Conditional" nodes where the accumulator BRD files were not being properly cleared upon successful loop termination when the "`AccumulateLoopOutput`" property was set to True. This ensures proper cleanup of resources after loop execution.	LAE-35423
Fixed an issue where the font size of an edited canvas text box did not scale with the canvas zoom level.	LAE-35371
Fixed an issue where schedules could start executing before the system was fully initialized, particularly during the first startup after an upgrade. This ensures that scheduled tasks only begin after the scheduled task service has been properly booted.	LAE-35315
Fixed an issue where backups could not be saved on systems with multi-user configuration due to incorrect permissions on the temp directory.	LAE-35264
Ensured that execution containers run with the same timezone as the host environment when sandboxing is enabled.	LAE-35175
Fixed an issue where the Execute Data Flow node did not work on Linux when execution sandboxing was enabled.	LAE-35093
Fixed an issue where the Data Profiler node would sometimes report a `NullPointerException` when encountering certain types of data with very large numbers.	LAE-35085
Fixed an issue with multi-item selection on the directory page main panel where, after deleting an item, the middle item was not selected.	LAE-35094
Added checks to ensure that when moving data-collections or directories containing data-collections, the source collection is mounted, and the move will only be initiated if the file system locations for the source and targets are valid.	LAE-35038
Fixed an issue in the Modify Fields node where the tool tip for the `NumericConversionErrorBehavior` property incorrectly displayed "Log" instead of "Ignore." The tool tip now correctly displays "Ignore" for the respective option.	LAE-27970
Fixed an issue in the Send Email node where field names surrounded by apostrophes were not recognized when used in the `MessageBody` property or other properties with a "(from Field)" source option. You should be able to configure the property source type as "Field" and use the input data field.	LAE-25390
Fixed an issue where users upgrading from 3.12.4 to 3.16.0 were unable to edit the default temporary data location in Designer Settings. Additionally, users with only the Scheduler role can now view their temporary run data in My Documents.	LAE-35261
Fixed an issue where the upgrade to 3.16.0 would fail if the system had users with their Home Directory pointing to a location in //Public Documents or to a location that no longer existed. The migration process now correctly accounts for changes in User Preferences, ensuring the upgrade succeeds.	LAE-35243
Fixed an issue where the admin user could not manage mount points after upgrading from 3.12.4 to 3.16.0. Administrator user can now manage mount points after an upgrade.	LAE-35472
Fixed an issue where warnings and info messages were incorrectly logged and displayed in the error panel when executing nodes with unmounted data collections in the system. Unmounted data collections are now correctly handled without generating unnecessary warnings, reducing confusion for users.	LAE-35478
Fixed an issue where executing nodes in certain data flows containing loops would result in the execution hanging. In these cases, the execution could not be stopped. The Run command now correctly handles these scenarios, ensuring proper execution and termination.	LAE-35589
