Release Notes 2.5.0

Release Date: July 4, 2018

New features and enhancements

Inclusion of validation messages in Excel export

You can now include validation messages when exporting to Excel. In the exported file, the add-on highlights fields and rows containing messages. If a message applies to a table, the add-on creates a new sheet in the exported file and appends "-MSG" to the name. See Including messages in exported files for more details. The image below shows an example of how messages display in an exported file:

Simplified SQL data source connections

Administrators can now create a connection to an SQL data source without having to manually define the connection information in the application server. Connection settings can be configured using the new JNDI data source table located under Administration > Integration > EBX® Data Exchange Add-on > Reference data. For further instructions, see Connecting to an SQL data source.

Enhanced data transfer options

You can now select multiple target tables when transferring data. Additionally, the new Stop and rollback on error option allows you to specify behavior when errors occur during transfer. When you enable this option and errors are encountered during transfer, the add-on cancels all transfers in progress and rolls back any transferred data. When the option is disabled and errors are encountered, the add-on only cancels transfers for the tables where errors occurred and completes any remaining transfers.

Updated table and column mapping screen features

As highlighted in the following image:
  • All tables, columns, unmapped tables, and unmapped columns can be linked and unlinked with a single click.
  • Fields that are part of a complex type are now grouped. Each group can also be linked and unlinked without having to select individual fields.

Improved transformation function features

The following enhancements have been made to transformation functions:
  • Transformation function parameter values now display in the Field mapping transformation table.
  • You can now use fields of all data types with a cross reference transformation function. If the source and target data types are different:
    • The source field and the field used to lookup the desired value (located in the cross-referenced table) must be the same data type.
    • The field containing the replacement value (located in the cross-referenced table) and the target field must be the same data type.

New functionality to export related data

To help you locate data linked to specific records, the add-on now allows you to include related data when exporting to:
  • CSV: The add-on exports a ZIP file containing individual CSV files. One file contains the export's source data. The remaining files—one for each table—contain the related data.
  • Excel: The add-on exports a single Excel file. The first sheet in the file contains the export's source data. Each additional sheet—one for each table—contains the related data.
    The option to export related data is only available when exporting from the table level, or individual records. For more information, see Exporting related data.

Addition of default options and preference permissions settings

Administrators can now set the default selections and preference permissions for each import and export operations. When users perform an import/export, they can still change selections if needed, or load available preferences.

Additional improvements

This release contains the following additional improvements:
  • Business rules can now be checked when simulating CSV or Excel import.
  • When opening an existing, or creating a new Table mapping record, the Field mapping tab displays to provide quick access to field mappings.
  • The UI has been updated when importing and exporting Excel at the dataset level.

Java API

Additions to the API included in this release allow you to:
  • Generate table and application mappings for import and export of Excel and CSV formats. See CSVTableGeneration, SpreadsheetTableGeneration, CSVExportApplicationMappingHelper, CSVImportApplicationMappingHelper, SpreadsheetExportApplicationMappingHelper and SpreadsheetImportApplicationMappingHelper in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Get the table declared in the EBX® Data Exchange Add-on configuration. See TableHelper, TableHelperSpec and TableHelperFactory in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Export related data when exporting to Excel or CSV formats. See FileExportConfigurationSpec in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Define the JNDI configuration used for SQL import and export without requiring application server configuration. See JNDIDataSource, SQLExportConfigurationSpec and SQLImportConfigurationSpec in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Export validation messages when exporting to Excel. See SpreadsheetExportConfigurationSpec in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Stop a data transfer in progress when errors occur and rollback all data. See TransferConfigurationSpec in the Java API documentation for more information.
  • Export tables with a prepared list of each table's records, or table filter. See DataExchangeExportTableSpec, DataExchangeExportTableSpecBuilder and DataExchangeService in the Java API documentation for more information.

Release Note 2.4.0

Release Date: December 15, 2017

Overview of features and enhancements

The following list contains features and enhancements for EBX® Data Exchange Add-on version 2.4.0. You can use the links provided for more detailed descriptions of the larger features.
  • Generating constant values
  • Generating models
  • Data transfer enhancements
  • When exporting SQL, or transferring data, you can now use the Include computed values option to specify whether to include the source's computed values.
  • Preferences and permissions have been consolidated into the EBX® Data Exchange Add-on administration area.
  • A Snapshot input parameter is now included for export and transfer data services in workflows and perspectives.
  • You can now define table mappings for Excel export and field mappings for Excel and CSV export.
  • During Excel export you can now choose whether ignored fields are included in the export. If included, the add-on exports them as blank columns in the spreadsheet.
  • Bug fixes

Generating constant values

A new transformation function allows you to populate a column's fields with a pre-defined value on import, export, or transfer. This allows you to set a specific value to a target field even when there is no mapped source field.
In the image below, the add-on automatically inserted a pre-defined value in the table's leadSource column during import. This column did not exist in the source spreadsheet. See the User Guide > Generating constant values for more information and step by step instructions that demonstrate a use case.

Generating models

In EBX® Data Exchange Add-on, models are required for user-defined and auto-generated mappings. Previously, administrators were required to manually create models for Excel and CSV type applications. This process has been greatly simplified and the add-on can now automatically generate models from a supplied file.
Suppose an administrator needed to create a configuration that uses a transformation function during Excel import. The following provides a high-level outline of the simplified process:
  • Create applications and their types corresponding to the EBX® table and Excel file.
  • For each application type, run the Generate models service. When run for Excel, just provide the file location and basic configuration information.
  • Map the tables, fields, and supply the transformation information.

Data transfer enhancements

This release includes the following new features and enhancements to data transfer functionality:

Transfer data to/from any table

A previous limitation prevented you from transferring data between tables within the same dataset. This limitation has been removed and you can transfer data between all tables in the repository (of course, mapping configuration requirements and permission constraints still apply). The following describes behavior when transferring data within the same table:
  • The default behavior is that data will be replaced. For example, a business need may require an update of values in a table field to all uppercase letters. In this instance, data transfer could be used in conjunction with a transformation function to update the values.
  • When the table has an auto-incremented primary key, you can choose to duplicate the data rather than replace it.

Filtering records

When transferring data between tables, you may only want to transfer a subset of records. Data transfer now supplies this functionality. As shown below, you can select the records you want to transfer in the tabular and hierarchical views:

API Updates

When transferring data using the API, you can now retrieve information such as source and target record primary keys. Additionally, the API now allows you to filter records during transfer. See the API documentation for examples.

    The 'EBX® Data Exchange Add-on' header included by the add-on in exported XML files is now optional. You can export and import XML data without using this header.
    A new option allows you to deactivate all triggers and constraints on tables during XML import.
  • Excel – CSV formats
    A new UI option is available that determines whether the 'Validate data before transforming data' option is active for Excel and CSV data formats.
  • Data mapping configuration
    Export, import and transfer of multi-occurs complex data type is now possible.
    A new service called 'Clean all configurations' allows you to remove all the data mapping configurations to get an empty repository.
    A new service called 'Clean unused paths' allows you to clean up all deprecated paths in the 'Path' table.
    A new service called 'Report data mapping' is now available to get a report on the data mapping between source and target applications. This service is located on the 'Table mapping' and 'Field mapping' tables.
    New 'Data Hierarchy' views are now available on the 'Table' and 'Field' tables to get a clearer view of the data model structure by 'Application → Table → Field'. A new service called 'Refresh hierarchical views' allows you to initialize these views in case you already have an existing data mapping configuration (located on the 'Table' table).
  • Dynamic Data Modeling
    You can now generate an EBX® Data Model from XML and DDL files.
    There is a new option to automatically generate values for table and field labels when importing from an Excel file.

New updates

  • Support for exporting to Excel 2007 files (.xlsx).
  • Support for exporting the labels of the imported file columns when using "import preferences".

Bug Fixes

  • No header included in exports of empty tables.
    Even though the header option is selected, the add-on exports an empty spreadsheet tab for empty tables. The headers should still be exported for empty tables so that import options that take the header into account are not affected just because the table has no rows of data.
  • Delimiters should not be required for CSV exports.
    When exporting tables to CSV, the delimiter field is required. The default character is a quotation mark. This should not be required, as it is not necessarily desirable to have a delimiter surrounding each field. By default, there should be no delimiter, as that is how built-in CSV exports work.
  • Fields of type dateTime cannot be formatted.
    Dates can be formatted for CSV export, but fields of type dateTime cannot. Both types should have customizable formats.
  • CSV exports add extra separator characters at the end of lines.
    When performing a CSV export of a table, each row ends with a separator character. This is not consistent with what the built-in CSV export does, where there are only separators between fields. For example, field1;field2; is currently exported instead of field1;field2 .
