December 2023

We are busy enhancing the Syniti Knowledge Platform, but nothing is ready for release just yet. Check back next week!

Bug Fixes

Connector

Installation Corrections

Resolved an issue where permissions on the SKP Connector sub folders were not correctly set after installation. This fix is present in the 1.1.9 SKP Connector installation scripts and ensures the installation process does not result in errors due to improper permissions.

New Features

Syniti Knowledge Platform

The new Syniti Knowledge Platform security model is now available for new customers. This feature allows you to add users, user groups and roles to manage user permissions across the platform, all from the SKP Admin module. Refer to Manage User Security for more information.

Enhancements

Construct

Construct now integrates with the SKP security changes, allowing access via system-provided SKP Security user groups and roles (Administrator, Business Administrator, Viewer or Author) and Custom SKP Security user groups and roles, if designated.

Match

Syniti Match Desktop

• Wait connectors have been added to the Input Database and Output Database steps, allowing for a pause in the workflow until the upstream component has completed.

• The Source and Type mapping options have been added to the Custom Column Names section in the Job Settings dialog box, allowing users to map a source or type field when data is being imported from various database systems.

• Added support for custom column names in the output field options if they are mapped in the input.

Parse & Standardise

• When adding a description to attributes, you can now add only a separator in the Description field, which adds the separator to the default output description attributes without requiring before and after text.

• The indicatesCategory option has been added to attributes, allowing the attribute values to be flagged as being indicative of category and parsed out to the attribute.

• The matchOnExtra option has been added to Category. When this option is selected, weight is added to the exported category values.

Profiler

Profiler now supports Python version 3.10 on the 9.2 RHEL and Oracle Linux environments. For more information, refer to Syniti Knowledge Platform Connector Requirements and Installation.

Replicate

General/Common Updates

• Added support for Databricks that is used as a target database.

• Added support for refresh replication with Mirroring Bulk using the File Upload method.

Replication Agent

Syniti Replicate now overwrites the target file to ensure it contains no data if a changeset is empty and an output file already exists for a mirroring replication cycle. This update applies to a mirroring replication cycle configured to use flat target files, such as CSV or Parquet files with an output file that uses the stable file name format.

Scanners

Scanner versions have been updated to accommodate an update to the installation script as detailed in the SKP Connector section of this page.

SKP Connector

We have simplified the installation process by removing the installation of 3rd party dependent software. For more information, refer to Syniti Knowledge Platform Connector Requirements and Installation.
