Exmon 23.2

Related products: Exmon

We are excited to bring you the Exmon 23.2 release with new features and improvements. 

Summary 

In this release, we have been working on improved integration with Azure and have added Azure Connection as a data provider and Azure Synapse as a package type. We have also continued working on Hierarchies in the web for Exmon Data Management and have added the Delete nodes feature along with other smaller fixes and improvements. 

Rebranding 

In both Exmon Data Governance and Exmon Data Management we have updated our logos and colors. You can now see the new logo when you use our products. 

Exmon Data Governance 

Azure Connection as a Data Provider 

We have added an Azure connection as a data provider. Currently, only Azure Synapse packages are using this type of data provider but in the future, it will be connected to other items using Azure connection. 

Azure Synapse Package added to Exmon Data Governance 

The option to connect to and run Azure Synapse packages from Exmon Data Governance has been added. In order to use this option the user must first create a Data Provider for Synapse containing the authentication information for the relevant Azure subscription. Once this is done, a DG package connecting to and running a specific pipeline from an Azure Synapse package can be created. Read more about Azure Synapse packages in Exmon here.

TimeXtender ODX Package type (BETA) 

We have added a new Data Provider Type, TimeXtender SAAS, and a new package type that allows you to connect to TimeXtender ODX and execute jobs.  This is a part of our TimeXtender integration improvements to make TimeXtender and Exmon work better together.

Exmon Data Management 

Hierarchies in web 

We continue working to improve hierarchies in the Exmon web application. We have implemented the Delete branches feature and made some smaller improvements and bug fixes. Read more about the web hierarchies here.
