Before you begin

You may need to clear your browser cache before you log into the latest SnapLogic Intelligent Integration Platform (IIP). See the applicable documentation for your browser:

• Chrome

• Firefox

You may see an Upgrade Notice dialog informing that you will be logged out immediately to complete the update process. Because the SnapLogic platform consists of multiple applications, you will likely see this message a few times.

Accounts and Platform updates

Some accounts may have a fixed time for refresh tokens, such as Google accounts that must be refreshed every hour. If that refresh needs to occur when the platform is down for an update, the refresh does not occur. To prevent these accounts from failing after a new platform deployment, we recommend you to refresh your accounts before the designated downtime. If the platform is down for longer than an hour, you will need to refresh those accounts once the platform is back online.

Platform Enhancements

Designer and Manager 

• Added GitHub integration to enable users to add a project’s assets to GitHub repositories. This feature allows you to checkout your GitHub repository to a project, and supports Push, Pull, and Commit requests.

• Enhanced Iris, SnapLogic’s Integration Assistant, to provide suggestions for upstream Snaps for a selected Snap.

• Enhanced Pipeline search in the Dashboard (execution list) to include pipeline parameters in the pipeline search. It now searches the pipeline name, Snaplex, node name, and user.

• Enhanced the Ultra Pipeline Tasks to support passing the bearer token as a query parameter for authorization in systems where passing the bearer token as a header is not supported.

General

• Added Groundplex support on Mesosphere, enabling you to deploy and maintain SnapLogic more easily and quickly from within Mesosphere, as a container. This is in addition to the Groundplex support for Docker containers.

• Added a new match operator expression to the Expression language. The match operator can be used to conditionally evaluate one of a number of expressions, based on whether an input value matches a given pattern.

• Added a new expression hasPath to the Expression language. It is a boolean expression that can check the existence of an object in a JSONPath.

• Enhanced security for pipeline operations: 

  • Disabling external process (such as popen) creation on Cloudplex via the Script Execute or custom Snap. While external process creation support continues on Groundplex, this may be disabled upon customer request to support@snaplogic.com.

  • Disabling read/write access to files in the Snaplex installation folder while executing pipelines.

• Fixed the Math.pow expression, to mimic the JavaScript function. This changes the expression output as explained below: 
  Current behavior:
  Math.pow(9, 0.5) returns 1
  Math.pow(9, 1.5) returns 9
  Math.pow(9, 1.9) returns 9

  New behavior:
  Math.pow(9, 0.5) returns 3
  Math.pow(9, 1.5) returns 27
  
  If any of your existing pipelines use the Math.pow expression, then you might want to check the output to ensure it is as expected. In case of any discrepancies, contact support@snaplogic.com. 

UI

• Enhanced the Activity Log UI, enabling you to view the number of log entries available, and view log entries in sets of 100.
