Admin Manager

New Features

...

• The Request Transformer, Authorize by Role, and other Proxy-only policies now support Basic Auth for authentication. Previously, any policy executed after authentication would fail with Basic Authentication.

• Fixed an issue where the Client Throttle policy did not work when applied to an API Proxy running on a Snaplex with multiple nodes.

Deprecated

• The Apigee integration solution /wiki/spaces/AP/pages/337772580 is deprecated and the Apigee API Proxy selection will be removed from the Manager > Projects menu in July. This solution is no longer supported. We recommend that you use SnapLogic APIM for your integrations and APIs.

...

• New support for AWS Secrets Manager to restrict secrets access by SnapLogic projects. To restrict access to specific projects, add role-based IAM aliases for them to a secrets-config.json file and restart your Groundplex nodes. Learn more.

• The header for Designer, Manager, and Dashboard has a new look:
  

  

• The user settings menu, which is available from a dropdown next to the user’s name, has a new design:

  • Settings are categorized as global or application-specific settings.

  • Non-admin users can’t change their username, they must ask an Environment admin to change it.
    The screenshot on the left shows the menu for Admin Manager, AutoSync, and Monitor. The screenshot on the right shows the menu for Dashboard and Manager:
    

    

• Browser tab labels now identify the app and page name:
  

• Open Telemetry reporting to third-party monitoring and logging tools now only sends messages labeled Error in severity level. Previously, messages marked Informational were also included. These Informational messages are still retained in the logs.

Fixed Issues

• Fixed an issue for the toPrecision() function that converts the data incorrectly when processing a whole number. When you call the function with arguments greater than 100, it results in an error.

Upcoming behavior change

Project-level pipeline execution behavior change

Currently, tasks stored in a Project Space of an Org can be executed by pipelines in a different Project Space or even from requests from a different Org. There is an upcoming fix to stop this behavior in the July release. After the fix is deployed, tasks must belong to the same Project Space as the pipeline Project Space they are called from to be successfully executed.

Known Issues

• When creating a Task and selecting the America/Mexico City time zone, the task runtime is off by one hour. Since Mexico City no longer observes daylight savings, the current implementation of CDT (aligned with CST) might assume that Mexico City changed time zones as it did in the past.
  Workaround: Upgrade your Snaplex to a JDK 11.0.18+ version.

Snaps

Upcoming

...

• The following Azure Active Directory-related Snaps and Accounts have been renamed becauseMicrosoft has rebranded Azure Active Directory to Microsoft Entra ID.

• Enhanced the Google Directory Read Snap with an On empty result dropdown list that enables you to select the Snap behavior when no matching filter value is found.

• Enhanced the JSON Splitter Snap to capture metadata and lineage information from the input document.

• Kafka Snap Pack: Enhanced the following fields to support expressions through pipeline parameters:

  • Truststore Password

  • Keystore File Password

  • SSL Key Password

  • SASL Password or Secret

  • Registry Password or Secret

• Enhanced the MongoDB Update Snap with the Array Filters field, which enables you to use array filters in the update operation. Additionally, the Update Query field is now modified into a text box for visibility and usability of input queries.

• Increased the default Read timeout value for NetSuite REST Snaps from 60 to 300 seconds. This update supports longer-running operations and prevents early disconnections for complex data processing tasks.

• Updated the Delete Condition (Truncates a Table if empty) field in the following Database Delete Snaps to Delete condition (deletes all records from a table if left blank) to indicate that all entries will be deleted from the table when this field is blank, but no truncate operation is performed.

  • AlloyDB Delete

  • Azure Synapse SQL Delete

  • Databricks - Delete

  • MySQL - Delete

  • Oracle - Delete

  • PostgreSQL - Delete

• Updated the following NetSuite SOAP Snap names for usability based on the functionality of the Snaps:

...

• Enhanced the S3 Select Snap to capture metadata and lineage information from the input document.

• Enhanced the Snowflake Bulk Load and Snowflake Insert Snaps to support iceberg tables. Iceberg tables partition and organize data across multiple nodes to distribute the workload and speed up data processing.

• Enhanced the SQL Server Snap Pack to support Geospatial data types (Geography and Geometry), which enables you to seamlessly insert, read, and select Geospatial data in the SQL Server environment.

• Upgraded Apache CXF from version 3.4.2 to 3.6.3 to prevent vulnerability issues for the following Snap Packs:

  • NetSuite SOAP

  • Workday

  • Xactly

  • Zuora

• Upgraded Spring dependencies to the latest supported Java 11 version for the MongoDB Snap Pack.

Behavior Change

MySQL - Insert Snap: With the 4.37 GA release, when you pass a Date/DateTime value for the Year data type column, the MySQL Insert Snap does not accept those values and fails with an error. This is the expected behavior of the Snap; we recommend you to pass only year values for the Year data type. Previously, when you passed a Date/DateTime value for the Year data type column, the Insert Snap inserted the value as a Year data type.

...

• Fixed an SMB (server message block) connectivity issue in the Binary Snap Pack, where the incorrect name provided by the SMB client did not match the Windows cluster virtual name, affecting the SPN (service principal name) connection.

• Fixed a performance issue in the Copy Item Snap, which previously resulted in a nameAlreadyExists error when the Snap retried because of a connection reset.

• Fixed an issue with the OpenAPI Snap where the upstream Mapper Snap did not display the full schema objects in the Target Schema.

• Fixed an issue with the Oracle - Bulk Load Snap that intermittently displayed a null pointer exception.

• Fixed the following issues with the SQL Server Snap Pack:

  • Snaps displayed an error when numeric values with scale 0 were inserted into the database with DECIMAL or NUMERIC type columns instead of inserting the value with decimal digits truncated.

  • Snaps displayed an error when fractional numeric values (numbers with a decimal point) were inserted into the database with an INT type column, instead of inserting the values with decimal digits truncated.

Known Issues

• The SQL Server - Bulk Load Snap returns 0 rows copied for tables containing spatial-type columns.
