432patches20446

The Join Snap is enhanced with the following:

  • The Pipeline Execution Statistics of the Join Snap now has a status message that displays the parameters - Free disk space, Available memory, and Average document size.

  • The internal sort buffer size is reduced to a minimum of 10MB when the available memory in the node becomes lower than 500MB to avoid the out-of-memory crash.

  • The internal sort buffer size is restored to its original size when the available memory becomes larger than 2GB.

  • We have improved the readability of the error message for the out of disk space on node error. The updated error message now provides clearer information and guidance for users, as shown below:
    Reason: Insufficient free disk space available to stage sort data into temporary files.
    Resolution:  Increase the amount of free disk space and try again.

AutoSync

As of March 29, 2023, a new AutoSync release is available in Studio. No changes were made to AutoSync V1.0 for the March release. Customers who purchased or are evaluating AutoSync V1.0 will still have access to it until they migrate their data pipelines to the new version. To evaluate the new AutoSync, contact your CSM.

This is what you need to know:

  • The AutoSync Studio release has a new user-friendly interface:

  • This release supports the synchronization of data from Salesforce to Snowflake. More endpoints are coming soon.

  • Both the new release and AutoSync V1.0 are available simultaneously for Orgs where they are enabled:

    • Access V1.0 from the pulldown menu on the IIP Designer tab:

    • Access the new AutoSync from the Studio navigation menu:

  • Org admins who enable the new AutoSync for new users must also give them access to the Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP).

  • SnapLogic provisions Snaplexes dedicated to AutoSync. For V1.0, the Snaplex name is AutoSyncPlex and for AutoSync in Studio, the Snaplex name is AutoSync. Only run AutoSync data pipelines, not pipelines created in the IIP, on these Snaplexes.

  • Orgs with AutoSync Snaplexes provisioned before March 29, 2023 need to upgrade to main-16624 - 4.32 Patch 4.

Learn more about the new AutoSync available in Studio.

Limitations for AutoSync in Studio

  • On some screens, including laptops, browsers with enhanced zoom, and screens using a non-standard resolution:

    • The text on AutoSync dashboard cards might overlap.

    • In the Studio Execution overview, all five status summary cards might not display. If this occurs reduce the zoom percentage to view them all:

  • In the Studio Execution overview, if you click a summary card to filter the execution list, child data pipeline executions do not show the associated parent. To find the parent, click on the execution. The last component of the Path is the parent pipeline name. For example, mydatapipeline:

    Learn more about the Execution overview.

  • If Auto synchronize is disabled for a data pipeline, you cannot enable it from the data pipeline details panel:

    Although the toggle appears to be on, the Next run value remains blank in the panel. Instead, use the Auto synchronize toggle on the card to enable synchronization.

  • When you edit a data pipeline, the screen with Sources and Destinations to choose from might be blank. Refresh the page to continue. Learn how to edit a data pipeline.

  • The AutoSync dashboard auto-refreshes periodically. However, it does not correctly update the Next run value on data pipeline cards.

New data pipeline wizard

  • A data pipeline unexpectedly runs twice if the synchronization schedule start time is in the past and you click Save and run at the end of the wizard.
    To avoid running it twice, either make sure the schedule time is in the future, or click Save instead of Save and run.

  • Changing the data pipeline name at the last step of the wizard causes an error. To avoid the error, change the name before the last step or edit it later.

Credentials and accounts

  • In IIP Manager, Org admins can add Accounts to a user group so that AutoSync users can share them. The dropdown list contains Account types that are not supported by AutoSync. For example, in the following screen, you should only select Salesforce or Snowflake, because those endpoints are supported in this release:

     

  • For Accounts created in the IIP, AutoSync only supports the following Account types. In AutoSync, only the supported types display in the dropdown.

    • Snowflake S3 Database and Snowflake S3 OAuth2

    • Salesforce.com and Salesforce OAuth2 Account types

  • AutoSync does not validate that an Amazon S3 account for staging data to Snowflake has write permission. Use an Amazon S3 account with write permission or the data pipeline will fail.

Include deleted records checkbox for Salesforce

AutoSync might incorrectly report new records on the data pipeline card and in the details panel. This can happen when:

  1. A data pipeline is edited to enable tracking of deleted records in Salesforce, with Include deleted records selected.

  2. Records were recently deleted from Salesforce before the data pipeline was edited.

On the next run, AutoSync might report the deleted records as if they were new records added to Snowflake. However, in the target table, these records are correctly marked as deleted. Learn more about how AutoSync tracks deleted records for Salesforce.

API Management

New Features

  • SQL Threat Detection API policy. To protect APIs against SQL commands injected in the header, path, query, and payload of incoming HTTP requests, apply this API policy.

  • Support for the OAS 3.0 specification. You can generate a specification in the Version Details tab and choose the JSON or YAML version in addition to the OAS version.

Enhancements

  • YAML support is now added to the following workflows:

  • Your Developer Portal users can download a specification in either JSON or YAML format when they explore an API.

  • The Developer Portal features a redesigned navigation menu.

  • In the Subscription Manager > User Access tab, the table for tracking the users of your Developer Portal now includes a column for user type. Portal indicates Developer Portal users who are not members of the SnapLogic Org. Org indicates users who are already members of the Org. When you add a new user to the Developer Portal, you receive a message if the user already exists.

Fixed Issues

You can now permanently delete APIs and API versions from the Recycle Bin in Manager. Previously, deleting these assets from the Recycle Bin resulted in an error.

Behavior Changes

All policy violation error messages are returned in JSON format for the following API policies:

Before this release, some policies returned policy violation error messages in plain text.

Platform

Ultra enhancement

Starting with the February release, we introduced an Ultra enhancement that will significantly speed up the creation, restart, and disabling of Ultra Tasks by reducing scheduling times. The Ultra Task is decentralized by moving it out of the Control Plane and into the production Snaplexes. Extensive internal and private beta testing for a few months shows startup times reduced from several minutes down to several seconds.

This change automatically applies when you upgrade your Org Snaplex to the 4.32 GA. This enhancement will have little to no impact on the resource use of Snaplex nodes.

New Features

Enhancements

  • Sensitive Account information is protected when you change an encrypted field to use an expression.

  • Label changes for the Copy Project Assets dialog correctly describe fields for the Target Org and Target Project or Folder:
