Section

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.

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. 


4Import: Oracle Eloqua - Importing Data into Datameer XDAP-42077
