Week of 01/06/2023 |
We released the January updates for Migrate and Construct this week, but you may not see them until they are deployed to your tenant. Check back mid month if you don’t see these features today!
Enhancements
Syniti Knowledge Platform
-
Enforcement Type changed to Data Quality By Default on Creation - Rule Enforcement Type is now defaulted to Data Quality when a rule is originally created.
-
To avoid confusion with the icon associated with add, updated the appearance of the X icon used to remove assets across the application by removing the circle around it.
-
Aligned design of Admin Accounts pages to the rest of the Admin pages.
-
Add Properties to Connection Form for IBM DB2 - IBM DB2 is now supported with a connection form (individual fields) rather than a connection string for capturing the connection details.
-
Enforcements Implementation Tab - Implementation Method Filter Should Include Option 'Unknown' - Added a new ‘Unknown’ option for the Implementation Method so that an Implementation can be created without the end user knowing the method that will be used to implement at the time of creation.
-
Metadata scans for PostgreSQL and DB2
Prerequisites: Syniti Replicate v10.2.0.12 or higher, SKP Connector v1.1.3 or higher
Metadata scanning can now be performed on PostgreSQL and DB2 connection types utilizing the .Net metadata scanning capabilities provided by Syniti Replicate. The customer must update to the latest SKP Connector and Syniti Replicate software versions to be able to utilize this functionality.
-
Metadata scan filters
Prerequisites: SKP Connector v1.1.3 or higher, optionally Syniti Replicate v10.2.0.12 (if applying filters to PostgreSQL or DB2 metadata scanning)
Metadata scan filters allow for one or more databases or schemas to be specified at the point of scanning the system so that only the metadata contained within those specified components is scanned. For example, a single SQL Server instance running multiple databases can now be filtered to scan one or more of the individual databases using filter conditions name = database, value = <database name>. The filters are applied as OR clauses for the same filter condition name and AND conditions across different filter condition names.
NOTE: Filtering on SAP Application metadata scanning is not supported.
-
Metadata scanning of empty schemas
Prerequisites: SKP Connector v1.1.3, optionally Syniti Replicate v10.2.0.12 (if applying filters to PostgreSQL or DB2 metadata scanning)
To support the population of target databases for the Syniti Migrate snapshot processes or for direct data replication, we have added support to return empty schemas when performing a metadata scan on a database. Previously, any empty schema was excluded from the results of the metadata scan, which meant the user couldn’t select the schema as a target for replication in Migrate snapshot management.
-
Metadata scanning additional properties for SAP NetWeaver scanning
Prerequisites: SKP Connector v1.1.3
To support Syniti Migrate, additional attributes have been included in the metadata scanning on an SAP application. The additional attributes are:
-
SAP_DELIVERY_CLASS (DD02L.CONTFLAG) is used to help identify which tables are relevant for Value Mapping.
-
SAP_ROLE_NAME (DD03L.ROLLNAME) is used to identify Client fields and Language Fields.
-
SAP_DOMAIN_NAME (DD03L.DOMNAME) is used to identify the TYPE of a field.
-
SAP_LANGUAGE_FLAG (DD03L.LANGUFLAG) is used to identify the LANGUAGE field on text tables.
-
SAP_VALUE_TABLE (DD04L.ENTITYTAB) is used to find the Reference Values when the check table is not clear (normally listed as a * by SAP).
Construct
Refreshed the Landing page to follow Syniti color scheme and style. The new landing page includes cards that provide links to the following sites:
-
What’s New - links to monthly release updates for Syniti systems.
-
Online Help - links to the Syniti Construct online help.
-
Construct Training - links to the Syniti online training system request form.
-
Cloud Capabilities - links to Software Support article for Construct Features.
Migrate
-
Users may now include comments within the PMO Dashboard at the Milestone level to provide additional details for metrics.
-
Import Templates - the field value for Header Start Row defaults to 3 to provide proper default setup.
Bug Fixes
Syniti Knowledge Platform
Implementation - SKP Connector Assignment Issue When Editing - Resolved an issue where editing an Implementation and changing its connection caused the SKP Connector related to the connection to be dropped if opening the form in edit mode again.
Migrate
Migration report methods were not providing detailed messaging in error messages. With this fix, there is a detailed entry within the debug log if the WADL Methods or in calling a ‘refresh report’ fails.
