Snaplex

main-27019 4.38 Patch 1 (Recommended)

  • A Snaplex-level date locale reference caused Scheduled Tasks to fail when date strings with non-ASCII characters or 3-letter abbreviations were referenced.

  • The Script Snap stopped working with the 4.38 GA Snaplex version for scripts that use the HMAC or urllib libraries, producing the following error:
    Cannot make memory view because object does not have the buffer interface

  • The Compare Pipeline action in Designer was not reporting the same results for two pipelines, regardless of which was chosen as the target.

  • The Catalog Insert Snap was not adding data to Tables in Manager created with the data catalog service.

  • After the June release, there was a delay in the response time when you called a Triggered Task on a Groundplex using the Cloud URL with a payload of 26 MB or larger.

Fixed an issue with the JSON Generator and XML Generator Snaps that caused unexpected output displaying '__at__' and '__h__' instead of '@' and '-' respectively because the Snap could not update them to their original values after the Velocity library upgrade, implemented as part of the August 2024 GA release (main27765)..

Fixed Issue

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

    • 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.
