Datameer X 11.1.7

New Features

Admin: Job Scheduler - Introduce a control ability to schedule jobs DAP-42008

We introduce a new capability for Datameer X users which can schedule jobs. This capability can be enabled/ disabled in the 'Admin' tab → 'Roles'. 


Improvements

1Export: PostgreSQL/ MySQL/ ClickHouse - Show new textbook for 'Pre-Hook SQL Statement' if the capability is setDAP-41856

You can now enter one SQL statement to be executed before performing an export in the section 'Pre-Hook' when configuring an export job. If the pre-hook fails, the whole export job will be failing. This will also fail, when the export job has a defined pre-hook statement but the job owner does not have the capability to enter it. Note that the SQL statement is not restricted in any way and it has no unintended effects. 


2Export: New capablity 'SQL statement before export execution'DAP-41857

The new capability 'Pre-Hook SQL' allows to create, edit and delete a pre-hook SQL statement before an export job execution and can be set in the 'Admin' tab → 'Roles'. This capability is only set per default for the admin user.

Datameer X 11.1.5

New Features

1Import/ Export: Salesforce Bulk API importsDAP-21069

The Salesforce Connector now uses the Bulk API 2 to import data via a REST API. For running bigger datasets, custom properties for the import job are required, e.g. 'datameer.salexforce.maxrecord-per-result-request.  



2Execution Engine: Allow jobs bypassing the Job Scheduler queueDAP-41875

Jobs can now be moved in the Job Scheduler queue. For that a new checkbox is included in the scheduling sections in Import/ Export/ Workbook Details wizard: 'Bypass Job Queue'. Jobs with that configuration will be picked always first by the Job Scheduler and ignore the maximal concurrent running jobs. A new role capability controls whether a user is allowed to use this option. 



3Workbook functions: New 'REGEXTRACT_LIST' functionDAP-42147

You can now use the 'REGEXTRACT_LIST' function. Using the function with data type 'string' extracts tokens that match a regular expression. It returns 'null' in case the string has no RegEx matches and returns a list instead of a string. If the string has a single RegEx match, the function returns a single element list. If the string has no RegEx matches, the function returns an empty list and if the string has multiple RegEx matches, the function returns all of them as the list elements.

When set, the placeholder will be replaced by the partition value returned by a partition filter which is configured in the configuration of the export job. At least, if a filter returns more than one partition, the export job will be creating a separate file or folder for each position.
