Admin Manager
New Feature
In environments subscribed to multi-factor authentication (MFA), Environment admins can now configure user and team accounts to log in with MFA. Learn more.
API Management
Enhancements
Added support for API Suite OAuth SSL Accounts in the Outbound OAuth2 Policy. Make sure your Snaplex is on the latest version and that the Policies and API Suite Snap Packs are on the latest distributions.
Known Issue
When you create an API Proxy with the API Suite Outbound OAuth2 policy and call the Proxy endpoint with basic auth credentials, the authentication fails with a 400 error (bad request).
AutoSync
Enhancements
You now have the option to connect to any endpoint with a Groundplex:
Select a Groundplex or the AutoSync Snaplex when selecting a target in the wizard or when editing a data pipeline.
The Groundplex must have connectivity to all endpoints in the data pipeline. Learn more.
Merge columns in the data pipeline wizard and the edit screen have two usability enhancements. The following highlights the changes in the edit screen:
Columns selected to merge display in an overlay on the right side, making it easier to navigate the preview and choose other columns.
Cancel and save actions are now available below the merge configuration. This clearly separates the controls to cancel or save a single merge from the buttons to cancel or save all configured merges.
Known Issues
The merge column preview doesn’t update correctly when you drag the column names to reorder the data. When you save the merge, the new column reflects the correct order.
A new merged column can fail to load because of the name’s case. For example, for a Snowflake target, until this issue is fixed, the name must be uppercase and for a Redshift target, the name must be lowercase.
Workaround: If a merged column fails to load, try changing the case of the name.
Documentation Updates
API Management Enhancements
Updated the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials Policy with the OAuth2 framework for the client credentials grant type. Learn More.

OpenSearch Account: Authenticates with OpenSearch services using the specified AWS account credentials.
Monitor
New Features
A new Node diagnostics table shows the maximum, minimum, recommended, and current values for configurable parameters to help you maximize Snaplex node performance and avoid issues. It also shows average and peak RAM usage.
In the System overview, click a Snaplex node to open its details panel. Click the Additional details tab to view the table. Entries in red in the Current value column highlight settings that do not meet the recommendation:Activity logs now include project-level events such as pipeline validation events. You can filter the log by Project events. Learn more.
Enhancements

The Insights page now opens first when you navigate to Monitor. The calendar can be set to show statistics for the last year. Previously, the limit was six months.

The details panel for a pipeline execution now includes a link to open the pipeline in Designer, the Task Name, and two new fields:
