API Management
New Features
The JSON validator policy enables you to specify limits on various JSON structures, such as arrays and strings, and minimizes the risk posed by content-level attacks.
The XML Schema Validator policy helps protect APIs from XML injection attacks and vulnerabilities exposed when the application does not validate user input properly before using it in an XML document or query.
AutoSync
New Features
Source data from Gainsight PX to load into your data warehouse:
Load data to Databricks for analysis:
Enhancements
AutoSync dialogs contain clearer labeling. The changes include:
Labels in the wizard for creating integrations:
An explanation of synchronization types:
Clearer navigation to enable notifications and edit the connection configuration in User Settings:
Known Issues
The connection configuration in AutoSync for Coupa requires an API key, which was deprecated by Coupa in May 2022 (Release 29). You can still use valid API keys created before Release 29.
Workaround: Instead of creating a Coupa connection configuration in AutoSync, you can create a Coupa OAuth2 Account in the SnapLogic IIP and save it in one of the following locations:The global shared folder
The shared folder, in the ~SL-AutoSyncProjectSpace
Your AutoSync project, ~User~<username>_<snaplogic_org>, in the SL-AutoSync-ProjectSpace
Refer to Configuring Source and Destination Connections to learn more.
Data Automation
Enhancements
SnapLogic upgraded the default JDBC Driver versions used to connect the ELT Snaps with the supported CDWs.
Changes in Behavior
With Google deprecating the OAuth out-of-band (OOB) flow, the Refresh Token Accounts defined for connecting your ELT Snaps to the BigQuery instances start failing in a phased manner. We recommend that you immediately modify these Snap account configurations to switch to an Access Token Account or a Service Account from the Refresh Token Account.
Fixed Issues
The ELT Merge Into Snap displays the individual record counts inserted, updated, and deleted for Snowflake targets in the respective Records Inserted, Records Updated, and Records Deleted parameters of the Snap Statistics tab (on Pipeline execution).
Known Issues
The ELT Aggregate Snap does not apply the sort order defined in the ORDER-BY Fields (Aggregate Concatenation Functions Only) fieldset to the Aggregate concatenation function results.
In the ELT Merge Into Snap, the Records Updated parameter in the Snap Statistics tab (on Pipeline execution) displays the combined count of records that were inserted, updated, and deleted for the target CDWs: Azure Synapse, Amazon Redshift, and DLP. However, this issue is fixed for Snowflake target instances to display the individual record counts.
Studio Patterns
New Pipeline Patterns
The following Patterns are added to the Studio Patterns Catalog:
Add Salesforce Contacts from CSV
Insert Oracle Table Metadata to Apache Avro Format and Apache Kafka Producer
Pipeline Directory Generator
RabbitMQ Consumer to MySQL
Read Salesforce Cases and Publish to JMS
Subscribe to JMS Queue and Insert it into the Oracle Table
Subscribe to Salesforce and Publish to JMS
Synchronize Master Data on Jobs from Sopra HR to Cornerstone
Synchronize Master Data on Workers from Sopra HR to Cornerstone
Synchronize Salesforce Products with NetSuite
Unit Testing Pipeline
Use LDAP Search to Get User Data
Platform
New Features
Migrate individual Assets from one Org to another. At the Project level, the export and migrate operations allow you to include Assets by type, but not to select individual Assets. Use the copy operation in Manager to migrate individually-selected Assets from one Org to another.
New Public APIs allow you to do the following:
Enhancements
In Manager, the Project Import wizard adds the ability to upload Expression Libraries and the Account configuration in JSON files with the Project Zip file:
GitHub Deauthentication enables you to easily remove SnapLogic from accessing your GitHub repos. In your user profile, click GitHub Deauthentication. Afterward, when you access Assets in GitHub, you receive an Authentication failed error:
Changes in Behavior
SnapLogic recommends that Project folders do not contain more than 100,000 Assets. Pipelines, Accounts, Tasks, Snap Packs, Snaplexes, Files, and Tables contribute to the total. Starting with the December release, when Asset creation or a file upload causes a Project to exceed 100,000 Assets, the system writes a warning to the log. We will contact customers with Projects over the limit to help with the remediation.
Snaps
Enhancements
The Snowflake Bulk Load Snap no longer displays the validation warning in the following cases: (Snap Pack version: 431patches19220, Latest)
When you configure the Validation Mode as NONE and Validation Errors Type as Do not show errors in the Snap, or
When Validation Mode is RETURN_n_ROWS, RETURN_ERRORS, or RETURN_ALL_ERRORS.
The Snowflake - Bulk Upsert Snap no longer supports values from an upstream input document in the Key columns field when the expression button is enabled. The value must remain constant throughout the Snap’s execution and now limits support for expressions to include only Pipeline parameters. To avoid breaking your existing Pipelines that use a value from the input schema in the Key columns field, update the Snap settings to use an input value from Pipeline parameters instead. (Snap Pack version: 431patches19220, Latest)
The Kafka Consumer Snap includes a new Max Poll Interval (ms) field, which allows you to specify the time between subsequent calls to poll. This field corresponds to the Kafka max.poll.interval.ms property. (Snap Pack version: 431patches19211, Latest)
Fixed Issues
The Marketo Bulk Import Snap now imports data for the selected Custom Objects. It also displays an error for invalid data or a mismatch of data type. (Snap Pack version: 431patches18969, Latest)
The OpenAPI Snap Pack performs pagination automatically by using the Advanced Properties Has next and Next URL. (Snap Pack version: 431patches19012, Latest)
A memory leak in the SQL Server Stored Procedure Snap is fixed—now the Snap holds only one connection. (Snap Pack version: 431patches19234, Latest)
Documentation Enhancements
We added two Designer walkthrough videos to the SnapLogic Designer page. The videos show you how to access the various functionalities in the new interface to help you maximize your SnapLogic features and services.
