eccenca DataIntegration v25.1.0

We’re excited to bring you the latest update to DataIntegration v25.1, which introduces new features, improvements and bug fixes:

v25.1.0 of DataIntegration adds the following new features:

• Use colors for workbench tags.
• Added a new operator for concatenating input values into a file.
• Enabled copy & paste functionality in rule editors.
• Datasets with explicit schemas can now be directly connected to workflow operators.
  • Supported for CSV and text datasets.
  • If a supported dataset is connected to a workflow operator with a flexible input schema, the entire dataset (i.e., all properties of its primary type) is read.
  • For CSV datasets, this results in entities being read with all columns included.
• Allow changing the width of blocks in the mapping editor.

v25.1.0 of DataIntegration introduces the following changes:

• Invisible parameters are now part of the config port schema.
• Improved file names for downloaded projects and workspaces.

v25.1.0 of DataIntegration ships the following fixes:

• Fixed URI rule evaluation failure for empty object mappings.
• No duplicate JDBC jar configuration is required anymore.
• Fixed issue with JSON datasets not always navigating into arrays.
• Fixed issue where direct transform execution does not use project variables.
• Fixed Transform Evaluation failure when a rule contains a template transformer.
• Fixed issue where URI pattern input sometimes resets to its initial value or crashes the mapping editor.
• Fixed issue where SPARQL restriction expands the wrong SPARQL pattern when using property paths with prefixed names.
• Fixed RDF file upload issue.
• Fixed issue where the reference entities cache fails to load a large number of entities from the RDF store.
• Fixed issue where tasks created in the workflow editor are not added to the recently viewed list.
• Fixed issue where adding a note to a linking rule fails to save.

• query execute command

• configuration via INI config file
  • allow debug and proxy settings for a connection
  • allow settings in the DEFAULT section of the config file for all connections
• change in configuration loading order, to integrate the values from the DEFAULT section:
  1. load environment variables into options-dict (click is doing this for CMEMC_ variables)
  2. load options from command line and overwrite environment (only CMEMC_ variables)
  3. load DEFAULT value keys, but not for keys which are already set (i.e not override cli options or env variables)
  4. load named INI section values (in case there is an INI section given) -> this will not overwrite everything
  5. use API defaults if there are not enough config keys (use default CMEM_BASE_URI, default OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE and default OAUTH_CLIENT_ID|SECRET if not present)

In addition the following changes and fixes are included:

• admin workspace python uninstall command
  • shell completion uses correct connection now

Migration Notes

Info

We do not guarantee forward compatibility for configuration, data or projects. I.e. importing a project created with DataIntegration v25.1.0 into DataIntegration v24.3.0 (or older) might not work.

Backward compatibility will be ensured or migration paths explained. I.e. projects created with DataIntegration v24.3.0 can be imported into DataIntegration v25.1.0.

Important info

Since v24.3.0, the components eccenca DataPlatform and eccenca DataManager are merged into a single component eccenca Explore.

eccenca Corporate Memory Control (cmemc)

• query execute command
  • use --accept in case you need explicit CSV output
