Union Step enhancement

Previously the only way to refresh the table list on a union step, was to use the refresh schema button on the Initial step.

A new Refresh Union button has been added to the union step to refresh the schema of only the unioned tables.

Existing connector enhancements

Business Central Cloud

In order to improve security, the option to authenticate to webservices using a Webservice API key has now been deprecated in sandbox environments. Only Azure Active Directory should be used.

SAP SQL source

For incremental source loading to work accurately we need a column that is always:

  • Populated

  • Updated for each change

When either or neither of these requirements are met, it causes inaccuracies.

An improvement was made in the Incremental Load date column logic to ensure the requirements are always met.

  1. When UpdateDate is null, but CreatedDate exists, we use CreatedDate.

  2. When UpdateDate is null, and CreatedDate DOES NOT exist, we use getdate().

Performance Enhancements

Some releases do not have major new features, as some features take several releases to complete. Every release contains performance enhancements and bug fixes to improve Data Hub.
