API Management
New Features
Support for generating a Proxy from an OAS 2.0/3.0 specification. When you create a Proxy, you can upload the specification or reference one through a URL. You can also create an empty proxy to define later.
The Developer Portal now supports internal and external publication for APIs. When you publish an API and select the Internal - private option, only Org members can view the API on the Developer Portal. All existing published APIs are external and visible to all Developer Portal users.
Enhancements
In the Designer and Manager, you can now create an API from Ultra and Triggered Task dialogs.
You can also create an API from the project/share folder dropdown in Manager.
As an API admin, you can now configure notifications when API consumers request subscriptions to your APIs.
API developers can now apply API policies to their projects and Project Space
shared
folders. Previously, only Org admins could see the Manage API Policy option.In the Manager > Activity Log, the API tab is renamed to APIM. Additionally, the APIM Activity Log includes a new Pending status.
The following labels are changed in the User Management > Permissions tab dialogs:
The User/Group heading is changed to username or group.
The Permissions tab Status heading is changed to Access.
Changes in Behavior
In the Assets tab of an API Version, these asset fields - Task name, Pipeline, Pipeline parameters, and Task run policy - can no longer be edited when referenced by a published API. You must unpublish the API to modify any of its assets. Learn more.
Proxies do not require URLs in their endpoints.
Fixed Issues
The Public API to migrate the API version contains a new parameter that fixes the issue where Version Assets, such as Pipelines and Tasks, would disappear from the Version Assets tab during an interrupted migrate operation. The new
async_mode
parameter is set toTrue
by default.
Platform
To use the features and enhancements mentioned in this section, ensure that your Org’s Snaplex is upgraded in Manager to main-16926 - 4.32 April 2023.
New Features
Role-based authentication is available when using AWS Secrets Manager for EC2 instances. Learn more.
Snaplex supports IPv6 addresses. When you migrate a Groundplex to Kubernetes, update the Snaplex global jcc.ip_filter_type parameter to the value ALLOW_IPV6_ONLY. This enables the Snaplex to process the IPv6 addresses. Learn more.
Enhancements
The Time Zone field in the Scheduled Task dialog features a list of more than 500 time zones to choose from.
Changes in Behavior
Previously, AWS Secrets Manager was automatically activated if HashiCorp was already activated. Starting with this release, each must be activated independently.
Snaps
The Snaps mentioned in this section are deployed on the Latest distribution type. To access the updated Snap Packs, your Org admin must select the mentioned Snap Pack version in Manager > Snap Packs.
Enhancements
The Amazon SNS Account supports publishing messages larger than 256 KB using the Enable large message support checkbox. When you select this checkbox, the Snap displays S3-related properties enabling you to read from and publish messages in the Amazon S3 bucket. (432patches20327)
The Azure Synapse SQL Account and Azure Synapse SQL Active Directory Account now support the latest JDBC Driver 12.2.0.jre11 by default. You do not have to manually upload the JAR file in the JDBC Driver field. (432patches20389)
The Hive Snap Pack is certified with the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP - Public Cloud 7.2.x).
The Join Snap is enhanced with the following (432patches20446):
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 10 MB when the available memory in the node becomes lower than 500 MB 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 2 GB.
Error handling has been improved for the
out of disk space on node
error to make it more user-friendly. The error message now provides more clarity in terms of the type of error, the reason, and the resolution. The updated error message now provides clear 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.
The Display null or empty values as null checkbox in the following Salesforce Snaps enable you to control the display of empty strings and null data as
null
in the output preview (432patches20393):Sort Snap: (432patches20250)
The Maximum memory unit dropdown list in this Snap now enables you to better manage the memory in the Snap.
You can choose a unit, percentage (%), or MB from the dropdown list for better memory control.
The Maximum memory % field is revised to Maximum memory.
Known Issues
Due to a driver bug, Snowflake JDBC driver versions 3.13.22 and later may cause the Snowflake Multi Execute Snap to fail with an error when the number of rows updated by an executed query exceeds 2.1 billion. For such large update queries, we recommend that you use Snowflake JDBC driver version 3.13.21 or earlier.
Fixed Issues
The OpenAPI Snaps now support reference components with
.
in the component's name. (432patches20357)The PostgreSQL - Bulk Load and PostgreSQL - Insert Snaps no longer fail with the message
ERROR: type modifier is not allowed for type 'bytea'
when creating a new table if Create table if not present is selected and the target table does not exist. This issue occurred when metadata from the second input view document contained columns of thebytea
data type. (432patches20409)Fixed an issue with the Snowflake - Bulk Load Snap that resulted in lowercase (or mixed case) column names when creating a new table under specific conditions. The new Create table with uppercase column names checkbox addresses this issue. (432patches20266)
Fixed an issue where the JMS Producer Snap was previously only writes headers to the WebLogic queue. Now the Snap writes the entire document. (432patches20479)
