Avro Connector Update
The Avro connector now fully supports custom attributes in the metadata “type” property. This enhancement allows for complete recognition and preservation of Avro JSON schemas with custom-type attributes during reverse-engineering processes. Users can seamlessly handle more diverse and customized Avro schemas, significantly streamlining data integration workflows and minimizing the need for manual interventions.

BigQuery Connector Update
We added multiple improvements to the Google BigQuery connector. You can now define partitions when creating tables and loading positional files to BigQuery is faster and more efficient. Data integration flows also support Slowly-Changing Dimensions (SCD), which improves the tracking and preservation of historical data and facilitates historical analysis, data integrity, and informed decision-making.

Salesforce Connector Update
The Salesforce connector now retrieves deleted Salesforce objects when loading data to other databases. Your Salesforce integrations will have more comprehensive data synchronization, allowing for better data recovery while maintaining a complete historical record of your critical customer data.

Semarchy xDM’s latest release introduces Validations on Workflow Transitions and a Call Procedure Automation for data-driven workflows while improving Named Queries performance for single record expressions. Big news, Snowflake support for data locations is available for preview to our customers. These updates increase efficiency and control of your workflows while providing a sneak peak of the second major technology collaboration between the AI Data Cloud and MDM leader.

Named Queries Optimization
We’ve optimized the performance of named queries containing single record expressions. These expressions now execute within the same SQL query as the root entity, eliminating the need for separate queries. This enhancement delivers significantly faster response times for named queries, improving overall data retrieval efficiency.

Validations on Workflow Transitions
Workflow designers can now define custom validation rules for each transition, with the flexibility to specify whether these checks should block the transition, provide warnings, or be skipped entirely. During workflow execution, users are presented with a clear dialog displaying validation results, offering immediate feedback on any failed checks and the option to proceed or cancel the transition. This update significantly improves data integrity and user control throughout the workflow process, ensuring that each step meets predefined quality standards efficiently.

For customers currently using legacy workflows, this feature serves as a crucial stepping stone in the migration to data-driven workflows. The new validation system seamlessly integrates with existing stepper validations, providing a familiar experience while offering enhanced capabilities. If no active validations are set for a transition, the system defaults to using on-finish stepper validations, ensuring backwards compatibility. However, when validations are declared for a transition, they take precedence, allowing for more granular control. This approach not only eases the transition for users but also opens up new possibilities for optimizing data management workflows.

New Call Procedure Workflow Automation
Seamlessly integrate custom database logic into your data management processes with the new automation feature by invoking predefined database procedures at any point during a workflow’s execution. The best part? You can enhance your existing workflows and add more complete, tailored data operations without leaving the builder.

For customers using legacy workflows, the Call Procedure automation significantly bridges the functionality gap between the two experiences. While legacy workflows allowed database procedure calls at specific points, the new feature enables calls at any workflow stage, offering greater flexibility. This enhancement not only eases the transition for users familiar with legacy experience but also introduces capabilities that go beyond previous limitations. It represents our ongoing commitment to providing a smooth migration path while continually improving our data-driven workflow functionality.

Better Access & Ownership Control
We’ve enhanced the stakeholder onboarding process with more refined rights and role management, offering greater flexibility and precision. This update introduces dedicated ownership types, allowing for precise control over user access and permissions. These updates streamline onboarding, access, and security to your organization’s data assets.

Improved Asset Discoverability
Finally, finding the data assets you need now feels like a breeze with improved search, filtering, and navigation capabilities. The upgraded faceted search interface allows users to narrow down resources more precisely, while the new, comprehensive navigation pane makes exploring assets fast and easy. Streamlining the self-service, data catalog experience is critical to driving adoption and ensures more time is spent leveraging data rather than finding it.

Looking ahead, our team is constantly working on new features and improvements with plans to include more enrichers, audit trails, and performance improvements very soon.
