API Management

Enhancement

• The HTTP Response Cache Policy is renamed the Response Cache policy.

Fixed Issue

• Git-authenticated users can create API versions from a Git Repository.

AutoSync

Enhancements

• The new Treat string as text checkbox in the configuration options for MySQL as a target, when selected, sets source columns that map to a common model string type (cdt_string, cdt_nstring, cdt_char, and cdt_nchar) to the MySQL mediumtext data type instead of varchar data type.

Known Issues

• The 438patches28270 AutoSync Snap Pack correctly maps Zendesk and Generic JDBC source NVARCHAR fields or columns to NVARCHAR. However, for existing target tables, change capture does not detect that existing VARCHAR fields and columns should be changed to NVARCHAR. To apply the fix to existing tables, follow the steps described in the first fixed issue in the next section.

Fixed Issues and Behavior Changes

• For Zendesk and Generic JDBC sources, NVARCHAR fields or columns now load in the target correctly. To apply this fix:

  1. Upgrade data pipelines with Zendesk or Generic JDBC sources to use the 438patches28270 AutoSync Snap Pack.

  2. Do one of the following:

     1. Edit the appropriate data pipelines to use Full load, which drops the tables and reloads them. If necessary, change to Incremental or SCD2 after the first load.

     2. Leave the load type as Incremental or SCD2 and manually drop the appropriate tables in the target.

• Merge column transformations no longer fail if the merged column size exceeds the precision of the target. The fix introduces a behavior change:

  • When any of the source columns selected for a merge don't have a set precision, AutoSync sets the new column to the target's maximum precision.

  • When all source columns selected for a merge have a set precision, AutoSync uses their value up to the target's maximum precision.

• Selections in the Mask data transformation are now applied correctly when saved.

Documentation Enhancements

• Enhanced the Pipeline Execute Snap with added examples and best practices to improve readability and usability.

New Videos
