August 2024 Product Updates

  • 1.  August 2024 Product Updates

    Posted 19 days ago

    This update covers new offerings, features, and functionality changes delivered in August.  

    Three Key Highlights 

    • VDB Groups can now be created using an intuitive wizard workflow in the Data Control Tower user interface. 

    • Hadoop data sources are now supported by Hyperscale Compliance. 

    • Delphix Compliance Services for Azure offers a new option to conditionally apply masking algorithms in Azure Dataflows. 

    Data Control Tower (DCT) 

    • VDB Group Creation Wizard – VDB groups can now be created in the DCT UI using a creation wizard that guides you through the selection of a filtered list of VDBs. VDB Groups are used to coordinate data automation operations such as Refresh across multi-VDBs simultaneously. 

    • VDB Group List and Details Views – DCT now visualizes VDB Groups via a list view found under the “Data” tab. This shows all VDB Groups and associated statuses, platform composition, and the last refresh timestamp. Clicking into a VDB Group’s details will show the combined VDBs as well as critical time and masking details. Please note, additional actions, wizards, and views will be available in future releases. 

      VDB Groups List and Details Views

    • Replica reporting details – DCT can now break down object–specific detail for replication targets to pair with existing details such as the last successfully completed replication. This will provide additional visibility for administrators tracking Disaster Recovery configurations and statuses. 

    • Failover and Failback Support – DCT supports failover with failback support on a replica’s detail screen. This enables administrators to identify downed engines and to orchestrate disaster recovery centrally from DCT’s user interface.

      Complete Failover Status

    • Discovery Policies (formerly Profile Sets) Read Only – DCT now visualizes existing Discovery Policies (known as Profile Sets) on connected Continuous Compliance engines. This enables administrators to visualize how the engine employs classifiers (or legacy expressions) during sensitive data discovery from a single page. 

    • Data Vault Replication Policy Configuration – DCT now supports the ability to configure replication profiles for Data Vault Target engines from the UI.  

    Continuous Compliance 

    • SAP Accelerator – We have updated our templates to include the Split Address Algorithm. Now, these values are masked with referential integrity, regardless of whether they are within a single value or split across multiple. The version structure has also been updated to better identify any dependencies. 

    • Job and Ruleset Names – For added convenience, we have increased the character limit for masking job and rule set names.  

    • Google Cloud SQL IAM Authorization for MySQL – Continuous Compliance introduces built-in support for IAM Authorization for MySQL. 

    Hyperscale Compliance 

    • Hadoop – Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) data sources are now supported by Hyperscale Compliance. 

    • Delimited and Parquet Files – The Delimited and Parquet File Connectors are now consolidated into a single File Connector to simplify implementation configurations.  

    • Oracle Date Formats – We have introduced a feature that automatically handles multiple date formats within a single job. This removes the limitation from jobs that required all date/timestamp columns in the dataset to have the same date formats. Also starting this release, you no longer need to configure any unload/load date format environment variables to mask date/timestamp columns. 

    • MS SQL – We have made important improvements to both the unload and load processes, including the addition of date and time filtering on the unload and connection pooling on the load.  

    Continuous Data 

    • CockroachDB – Introduced the ability to download backups from Google Cloud Storage and ingest from a multi-node staging server. These features will allow for faster ingestion and better dataset snapshots. 

    • IBM Db2 – Certified IBM AIX v7.2 on POWER9 hardware. 

    • MySQL – Certified MySQL and Percona v8.0 on RHEL v8.9 and lower. Redacted potentially sensitive data during the generation of support bundles. 

    Delphix Compliance Services for Azure 

    • Conditional Masking – Introduced a new option to conditionally apply masking algorithms based on a key column in Azure Dataflows
