We are excited to bring you the Exmon 24.1 release with new features and improvements.
Summary
In this release, we have made several changes including the addition of Fabric Notebook packages in Data Governance (this functionality is in BETA for now, taking advantage of the Preview availability of the Fabric API) and user interface improvements in preparation for custom webhooks for exception notifications. In addition, for both Data Governance and and Data Management we have implemented database schema changes to consolidate and streamline our database operations.
In this article, you will read about improvements to:
Exmon Data Management
Infrastructure changes
We have moved both Exmon Data Management and Exmon Data Governance to new database schemas to simplify Exmon integrations with other platforms and allow them to be hosted in the same database.
Note that if you are using Exmon system tables for custom scripts, the custom scripts will likely need to be updated.
Exmon Data Governance
Fabric Package
The option to connect to and run Microsoft Fabric Notebook packages from Exmon Data Governance has been added. In order to use this option the user must first create a Fabric Data Provider containing the authentication information for the Fabric item to be run by the package, and then a DG package connecting to and running the Fabric item can be created. Read more about Microsoft Fabric packages in Exmon here.
Note that currently this functionality is in BETA, in part because the Fabric API is still in Preview from Microsoft.
Turnkey & Exmon Data Governance
Email notifications
We are working on a new feature related to exception notifications. Until now, we have only offered emails as a means of receiving exception notifications. In addition to emails, we are introducing a new functionality that allows you to choose custom webhooks as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, the regular email notifications.
In this release, we have begun preparing for this new functionality. A slightly different user interface has now been implemented for both Exmon Data Governance and Turnkey.
For detailed instructions on how to configure email notifications in Exmon Data Governance, please refer to our documentation.
