We now give the ability to document if a scheduled prompt contains a Dynamic or Constant value.
In BOBJ:
The new object in the 360Eyes_CMS Universe:
Note: You need to add DOCUMENT_PROMPT in the parameter cms.content.
Collibra is a data cataloging solution that enables organisations to improve their comprehension and control of their data assets. Its primary aim is to establish an inventory of these data assets (BI, Analytics, Databases, etc), by acquiring information (metadata) about them.
If you are an organisation with both SAP BusinessObjects and Collibra you will want to talk with us! Since 2023.3, we are now giving you the ability to have BOBJ metadata in Collibra thanks to 360Eyes.
We continue to push even more metadata into Collibra. This time it is about the actual objects used in the SAP BO Data Provider. You gain even more BOBJ Lineage than before.
This enhancement will allow us in a future release to create a link between these new SAP BO Query Object data assets with the SAP BO Universe Objects data assets for even more advanced lineage.
The Updated Operating Model:
In Collibra:
For security reasons, you may want to avoid sending SQL Queries to Collibra.
We appreciate that and from now on by default, we will no longer send SQL Queries until you switch this new parameter to ON.
Parameter: -collibra.export-sql-queries=<ON|OFF>
When set to OFF, the following columns from the 360Eyes database will not be sent to Collibra:
We added the ability to purge a Collibra Domain of all of its Collibra data assets.
This may be useful when you want to handle deleted BOBJ objects for instance. Simply purge your domain before running the import job again.
⚠ Warning: Using this function is at your own risk. Make sure you are purging the right domain.
Check the README.txt for more information.
We wanted to make it easier for you to use our product and for this we have created sample command line scripts.
Please find the Release Notes for 2023.4.
Before 2023.4, the DELTA mode would consider a moved object, even if it wasn't modified, the same as being deleted and recreated elsewhere. It meant an entire new extract by the WEBI job for instance.
The new behavior is to recognise that if an object was moved and not modified, we only need to update its path.
This change is more efficient and will increase performance.
The following parameters will be deleted in 2024.1:
