Stable
Upgraded with the latest SnapLogic Platform release.
4.27
main12833
Stable
Added the following Tableau Snaps to support hyper extract files for Tableau 10.25 and later versions.
- Hyper Formatter: Converts the incoming documents to Tableau hyper extract format and sends the output (extract) to the binary output view.
- Hyper Parser: Parses Tableau hyper extract files and converts them to a document format.
- Hyper Write: Creates a hyper file in a temporary location (local disk) for incoming documents and publishes it to Tableau Server/Online without packaging it into a data source.
Fixed an issue with /wiki/spaces/AP/pages/1438855 Snap where the Snap was not able to filter or route the output data shows either duplicate records or incorrect results.
Fixed an issue when updating user information in the Tableau REST Snap by not overwriting the site ID or user ID if the entries already exist.

In the 4.23 release, the Tableau REST Snap had a defect where it used site ID and user ID from the Tableau Account even if the selected REST operation required a site ID and/or user ID from the input document. This issue is fixed in the 4.24 release, so that the Snap uses values for the said IDs from the input document when available. Since this fix changes the Snap behavior, it is possible for production Pipelines to fail after the 4.24 release. Hence, you need to reconfigure the Tableau REST Snap using the site ID and user ID values from the input document. |
Pushed automatic rebuild of the latest version of each Snap Pack to SnapLogic UAT and Elastic servers.
Added the Snap Execution field to all Standard-mode Snaps. In some Snaps, this field replaces the existing Execute during preview check box.
