This release is a Public Preview. This means that it is available for all partners and customers to try, but it is still being stabilized for general availability (“GA”). We encourage you to use it in sandbox and development environments, not production.
The issues found in the Public Preview will be fixed in the upcoming GA release or a later release, depending on the priority. We will not issue hotfixes for a release in Public Preview.
TimeXtender Data Platform
- TimeXtender Turnkey has been renamed to TimeXtender Data Platform
- TimeXtender Data Platform is now highlighted as the primary product on the authentication and product landing page.
- Updated brand logo, favicon, color palette, and product icons are now applied across TDP
- The workspace switcher has been reworked to be easier to use and less in your way.
- An emoji and symbol picker is available when creating or editing workspaces — workspaces can now have a custom icon.
- Recent Executions grid on the Dashboard page gives you an at-a-glance view of what has run recently across your workspace, including status and timing, without navigating to the full Executions page.
- A Data Integration link has been added to the navigation bar for quick access.
- Grid performance is significantly improved for large datasets
- Initial load time of the TDP web application has been reduced
Downloads
- A new dedicated Downloads page lists all installable components — Ingest Service, TDI, MCP Server, ODQ Desktop, Gateway, and more — in one place
Process Maps
- Task status icons on the process map now update live during execution — no refresh needed
- The Process Maps list view now shows execution status and last updated time instead of metadata columns
- Process Map detail page status area has been cleaned up
- A warning is shown when deleting a workspace that has associated Process Maps
Dataset Health & Quality Score
Get a clearer, time-series view of each dataset's quality and health.
- A health score is calculated per dataset from rule pass/fail ratios across executions
- Trend indicators show whether health is improving or declining between executions
- Record counts are tracked per execution and displayed in the grid, with trend arrows for changes over time
- The Last Updated column replaces Last Modified for a more meaningful time reference
- Rule exception counts are now stored per execution, enabling historical tracking
Execution Overview
The Executions page has been significantly expanded. Instead of showing only currently running tasks, it now includes all tasks in the workspace.
- Duration column shows how long each execution took
- State column with visual icons matching the process map representation
- Environment dropdown to switch between Production, Development, and Test views
- All task types are now included — not just a subset
- Concurrent task executions are handled correctly
- Default sorting is by state for a more useful initial view
User Privileges and Roles
TimeXtender Data Platform now ships with a complete role-based access control system. You can manage users and roles directly in TDP — no desktop client required.
- A Roles tab in Settings lets you create, edit, and delete roles with fine-grained privilege assignments
- A Users tab lets you view, add, and manage users alongside their assigned roles
- Microsoft Entra ID Groups can be linked to roles — everyone in the group automatically inherits the associated privileges
- Privileges are inherited from all Entra groups a user belongs to, so access is always consistent
- Default roles are created automatically when a new workspace is provisioned
- SSO users are provisioned automatically on first login — no manual setup needed
- Workspace Contributors and Administrators can manage Data Providers without requiring full global admin rights
Public API & API Keys
TimeXtender Data Platform can now be accessed programmatically via a public REST API secured with API keys.
- Create and revoke personal API keys from User Preferences
- Workspace admins and owners can view and revoke any user's API keys
- Public Orchestration API v0 — execute process maps and trigger orchestration runs programmatically. Query for logs.
Data Enrichment in TDP
The Data Enrichment portal is now embedded directly in TDP, giving you a unified experience without switching tools or signing in separately.
- The DE portal is embedded within the TDP navigation
- Workspace isolation is enforced — Data Providers assigned to specific workspaces are only visible there
- Authentication is shared between TDP and Data Enrichment — you are signed in automatically
- To set it up, make sure you have a Data Enrichment data provider in settings with the “Enabled in Navigation” turned on.
And much more
TDI Environment-Aware Synchronization
TDI (TimeXtender Data Integration) Data Providers now support environment-aware configuration, making it easier to manage multiple TDI instances across Production, Development, and Test.
- TDP can now fetch the list of TDI instances from the connected TDI service
- An environment mapping UI lets you map each TDI instance to a specific environment in the Data Provider editor
- TDI packages are deduplicated by GUID during sync to prevent duplicate entries in the process map
- The fetch instances table is also available in the ODQ Desktop
Data Enrichment — Access Filter Overhaul
A series of long-standing bugs in the Access Filter feature have been resolved.
- SQL subquery access filters no longer cause all editable cells to show "Validation failed due to filter error"
- Function-based access filters no longer trigger the same false error
- Unbracketed column names in access filters no longer cause incorrect errors
- An access filter on a read-only column no longer prevents edits to other columns
- An access filter on an invisible column no longer prevents edits to other columns
- Importing or pasting valid values into access-filtered columns is no longer incorrectly rejected
- Validation behavior is now consistent between the Web and Desktop clients
- Fixed issues saving user access in the DE Desktop
Data Enrichment — Hyperlinks in Descriptions
- Markdown-style hyperlinks ([text](url)) in description fields are now rendered as clickable links in the Web client
- HTML anchor tags in descriptions are also supported for backward compatibility
Fixed
Data Transfer
- Fixed Data Transfer failing when "No Column Mapping" was selected
- Fixed a System.Memory version mismatch that caused Data Transfer to fail
- Fixed merge failures on columns with no mapping
- Added the ability to view the create table script for merge operations in Data Transfers
- Fixed duplicated PowerBI refresh tasks that could not be opened
Authentication & SSO
- Microsoft Entra ID Groups SSO is now supported for Data Enrichment, Orchestration, and Data Quality
- Fixed orchestration portal access failing after a user was re-added
Notifications & Email
- Fixed an invalid default email template causing TDP pages to crash
- Fixed the link in test notification emails not working correctly
Platform
- Fixed an intermittent TripleDES/AES fallback issue causing the gateway to fail to decrypt queue data in rare occasions
- Fixed a locale-specific number formatting bug that corrupted MinValue/MaxValue constraints in the table designer
On-premises
- Machine-specific configuration is now separated from application configuration so it is not overwritten during upgrade reducing risk of failed upgrades of TimeXtender ODQ Gateway and Execution Connections
