Data Hub

• ETL technology - It is now possible to implement the transformation process in a configurable way, even without programming knowledge.
• Connector management and licensing
  • It is now possible to see all connectors in a single overview.
  • Collectors can be shown and hidden, which affects which tasks are available.
  • The licensing model is now much more flexible, as it it possible to license individual collectors, whereas in the previous release it was only possible for the whole bundle.
• New connectors - This version brings several new connectors: Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Microsoft Azure AD, RedHat Virtualization, Slack and RayManageSoft Unified Endpoint Manager.
• Unified jobs and tasks
  • In previous versions, jobs were merely a bridge between connectors and tasks, as of this release, there is a single entity called a task, which is a single point of configuration for connectivity, functional and technical parameters.
  • Task configuration now uses a new term for “table names” which are called “data sets”. This reflects their true dual-purpose, which can be a single table or a namespace for a collection of tables.
• Improved UI - Improved the UI to better use screen estate and make it easier to navigate.
• Folders for tasks - It is now possible to group tasks (former task and jobs) in folders of unlimited nesting.
• Adding reports from the Wizard - There is now an even easier way of importing reports, both on initial runs and subsequently as they are needed. A new wizard-driven editor shows which templates are available, what requirements they have, and it makes sure that all things are in place after finishing the import. It is also integrated with the new Variables module, meaning that all sensitive information like credentials or connection strings are abstracted away and automatically added to the Variable store.
• Easier setup of Data Hub agents
  • Removed the Downloads page and introduced a simple way of downloading the agent. It requires fewer clicks, and provides the most important information right there where it is needed.
  • Improved installer makes sure that the settings from all previous versions are transferred.
• Automated email notifications - It is now possible to send automatic, schedule-driven e-mail notifications, containing the most up-to-date versions of selected reports.
• Variables and placeholders for tasks - Added the ability to use variables in tasks. Variables can be protected or open-text and can be used for all task-related parameters.
• Drag-and-drop reordering in library - The items in library can be now reordered using a drag and drop technique.
• Other changes
  • Better performance of complex reports and data collection.
  • Many UI-related improvements.
  • Adjusted default reports.
  • Optimized bundle size.
