Exmon DG 5.1

In this new release, exMon 5.1 has two major improvements and several smaller improvements and bug fixes.Data Transfer packagesThe main new feature of exMon is the introduction of Data Transfer packages. This feature reduces reliance on third-party components to handle simple data transfers.Data Transfer packages use data providers as the source and destination of the transfer with column mapping between the two data sources.Powershell Query TaskQuery tasks are a niche feature in exMon that allows the developer to create actions after a query has been executed.exMon 5.1 adds the Powershell Query Task to the type of actions that can be used, which allows even greater customization.Process Gantt ChartA new addition to the exMon process emails is a Gantt chart that shows an overview of the process execution, how long each step took to finish, what failed and what did not run.This feature should work well in combination with the process map to show a clear status of the process but will also allow the developer a more in-depth view of things such as execution bottlenecks.Global System ParametersGlobal parameters were released with exMon 4.9 and have been a great addition to the exMon system. With exMon 5.1 we are adding system parameters to the functionality of the global parameters, where the exMon developer can now use these parameters in their task to access any ID used by the exMon execution.Currently, there are four Global system parameters:{$__ExecId} {$__RemoteExecId}{$__SystemId} {$__UserId}.Further details can be found under Global ParametersOther improvementsOn the portal, a task with parameters will now have the run button enabled if a default parameter value is set Tasks that have never been deployed will send a notification email when executed Service email in configuration will now only receive more critical exMon emails, rather than all emails Execution history in exMon Data Governance now allows users to view the execution log Email history now properly renders images contained in emails Process Queue now allows users to select/terminate multiple executions at the same timeBug fixesWhen execution of a package, inside an object group, with the execution connection set was terminated, the object group would sometimes continue exMon properly cleans up execution details after a timeout Exception Overview no longer shows tasks with open exceptions after the exception manager has been disabled In exMon Data Governance, pressing enter with task-focused inside Object Explorer now opens the task

Exmon DG 5.3

exMon 5.3 focuses on a new add-on to the exMon environment along with two major feature improvements, minor improvements and bug fixes.Dashboard Add-OnOut of the box, the dashboard add-on gives users the option to analyze exceptions better, whether from the perspective of their users, individual tests, or their overall exception status.This addon also allows those who focus more on process management to see an overview of their exMon executions and options to expand these dashboards into the future, both improvements of these two dashboards as well as options to add custom dashboards.Execution Connection configuration can be configured by the EnvironmentIn exMon 5.3 you can now separate an Execution Connection configuration by the environment. This change primarily benefits Discovery Hub and Data Transfer packages which before would always use the same Execution Connection, whether they were running on Development or Production.This change will also simplify the setup of Command-Line packages that use the same Working Directory and Command-Line.Dimension improvementsWith exMon 5.3 we've released improved exMon dimensions. Dimensions allow the user to view their exceptions from a different perspective. A perspective focused rather on the data that exceptions have in common instead of when the exceptions were created.You can read more about dimensions under How do I use Dimensions?Other improvementsProcess Map with a process attached will now show a Sync with Process button that adds exMon tasks on the process map that are in process but missing on the process map When exMon execution fails to connect to the exMon database it can be configured to retry connecting rather than failBug fixesWhen a schedule is disabled, holiday options are now also correctly disabled Duplicating Data Provider now works correctly Check all in the Deploy window sometimes selected rows are not visible in the UI Execution History cleanup with keep rows option set sometimes did not correctly store execution history

Exmon DG 5.4

exMon 5.4 has focused on fixing issues brought to our attention by our users, whether they were bugs or improvements that would make exMon better and easier to use.AnalyticsOut of the box, the exMon Analytics add-on gives users the option to analyze exceptions better, whether from the perspective of their users, individual tests, or their overall exception status.This addon also allows those who focus more on process management to see an overview of their exMon executions and options to expand these dashboards into the future, both improvements of these two dashboards as well as options to add custom dashboards.exMon now supports installations on Azure SQL databasesMore and more of our clients have been moving their infrastructure, including exMon, to Microsoft Azure. In the past, installation in Azure was a manual process but with exMon 5.4 we now support SQL Azure out of the box.Unified login experienceUsers of exMon Data Governance and exMon Data Management cloud services used to have to keep track of separate usernames and passwords when logging in.With exMon 5.4 we introduce a unified login, which works especially well when clients have enabled Azure Active Directory.Head over to https://login.exmon.com to try our new unified login experience.Exception overview improvementsException overview worked great for most users but some of our power users could have issues with its behaviour. We have made major changes to how we manage and display the exception overview.Query Snippets/Global Parameter improvementsBoth Global Parameters and Query Snippets are great but some of our users had issues using them when the list became too large. With exMon 5.4 we've added both a filter and multi-select to make using both of these features a more pleasant user experience.Other improvementsThe package now warns when SQLCmd is not installed on the machine exMon Upgrader no longer requires SQLCmd installed on the machineBug fixesGlobal parameters were not used for packages executing PowerShell scripts When a task incorrectly had a different name on DEV and PROD, object groups containing the task could not be opened The configuration window in the toolbar did not correctly display the email authentication information

Exmon DG 5.5

The release of exMon 5.5 contains a beta release of Turnkey, a new web interface that makes it easier for business users to create data quality controls for their data. Included in the release are also a few new features and improvements to exMon Data Governance.TurnkeyThe core philosophy behind Turnkey is twofold; to move the data layer further from the business user and simplify the process of making data quality controls.In Turnkey you have Datasets, which are the definition of how to access data and how the data should be configured.A user creates a dataset e.g. SQL query to a database and configures things such as which column is the primary key, the caption and/or format.Since Datasets are simple queries to a data source, a data administrator can be tasked to create the required Datasets without much input from the business user.When a Dataset has been created, the business user can start creating Rules that use the Dataset as their source. Rules can be quickly created as the only definitions required are that of the rule filters.Turnkey is currently available to cloud customers only but will become available to all customers who want to try it when we release the first stable version, expected in Q3 or Q4 of 2021.Other ImprovementsA hierarchy view has been added to Execution History.  Users can now switch between grid view and hierarchy view. This provides users with a better overview of their executions.Powershell has been added as a destination for data transfer.Data Provider packages are a new type of package. They enable users to either run stored procedures or create a custom SQL to run.A feedback button has been added to most exMon products. The exMon team is hoping for a lot of interesting feedback about things that we are doing well and/or things that can be improved.Bug fixesProcess execution showed a wrong error message when no task inside the process was executed Object groups sometimes showed the wrong error message when they were unable to connect to the database Pressing Test Connection with Analysis Service Data Provider open always showed success The user did not by default see exceptions assigned to the user group he was a part of The browse button for Active Directory users did not work Email Summary did not work properly

Exmon 22.3

We are excited to bring you the exMon 22.3 release with many new features and improvements. Recently, we have been integrating exMon Data Governance and Data Management to ensure they work seamlessly together. With this release, we are taking the next step by synchronising releases and having a common versioning scheme. Therefore we made the jump from exMon DG 5.9 and DM 3.2 to a version that uses the current year.Our goal is to release 4 major versions a year with smaller improvements in between.SummaryThis release brings an update to the data connector - for future references data gateway - this will now allow you to connect to on-premise data and data pipelines from the cloud. Everybody hates too many emails - so now we have added a summary function for email notifications to make it easier to get an overview, get fewer emails and reach inbox zero.Amongst some of the new features we have of course fixed some bugs.exMon Data GovernanceexMon Gateway and Process ManagementexMon Data Connector has been renamed to exMon Gateway for better clarification. exMon Gateway can be set up on any computer within an internal network, allowing cloud customers to connect to on-premise data and data pipelines.exMon Gateway now supports running packages on-premise. This means that our cloud customers can now seamlessly control and monitor on-premise TimeXtender, Jet Analytics, SSIS and custom PowerShell, Python etc. jobs using the cloud version of exMon.A common use scenario could be a customer using on-premise SSIS packages needing to run in parallel with TimeXtender execution packages. When they are finished, exMon is used to ensure the data is correct and finally update the PowerBI reports.Email Summary ImprovementsEmail Summary is a great way to send a weekly digest of the progress for specific data quality controls. With exMon 22.3, we are also improving email summaries sent to query owners. One significant improvement allows you to turn off email for specific data quality controls and instead send out a summary.exMon Data ManagementOpen exMon DM Application from the webIn each release, we have been improving the experience in using the overall data entry user experience in the exMon DM web portal.In exMon 22.3, we have added a new toolbar button, Open exMon DM App. This button allows the user to open the current table in the Windows client version of exMon DM. This allows the user to quickly jump into the Table Designer to make changes to the design.Improvements on the webFurther exMon DM web client improvements include better functionality when scrolling and filtering through large tables and filtering. The filter panel is now located next to the data instead of on top of it so all columns are visible. Upgrade Later between Minor VersionsOur aim is to keep all clients up-to-date on new features and improved stability. Therefore, we frequently release new versions of exMon. When we publish new versions, users are given the choice to upgrade their Desktop Client immediately or later on.exMon TurnkeyOur next generation of exMon, codenamed Turnkey, continues to be in private beta.

The settings allow users to change general settings, email settings, test settings and advanced settings. In order to get to the settings page – you can find a cog icon in the top navigation bar. DM Data ProviderUsers can now create data providers specifically designed to get data from an active exMon Data Management service. This feature allows users to more easily set up data providers, without providing all the nitty-gritty details when setting up a regular database connection string.Create a support ticket when an error occurs in the systemUsers can now report errors that occur in exMon DG Desktop and Turnkey. Each time users encounter an error, they will be given an option to report the error – which will result in a support ticket being created. This will hasten the process of solving the issue for the user that is experiencing these errors. Autosave for datasetsUsers no longer need to worry about saving their datasets when working on them, because they are automatically saved for them. The dataset is saved as a draft, so it will not interfere with the published version of the dataset until it has been published again. Publishing a dataset is still a manual task – because it may have more impact on rules which depend on the dataset. Bug fixes and smaller improvementsData GovernanceUser groups could not be saved Users could not assign exceptions to different user Users with administrator privileges could not log in as a different user User set as Process Administrator could not run tasks on process map Recent Images in Process Map were empty Query Email now shows only a description Exception Email Preview shows Action twice Web did not show PowerShell packages on process maps Running Command Line Package returned "Specified cast is not valid" error Package parameters were not usable by all package types Data Transfer UX improvements Data Provider with system selected didn't show Execution connection with the system all selected TimeXtender data provider UX improvements in Gateway A process that finished successfully eventually sent a timeout email when running in the cloudData ManagementThe import data button did not work in the web application The user experience for Import from the database was improved Tables were not shown when searching for projects in the navigation in the web application The refresh button in the Import Data form didn't work Locking and unlocking rows did not work in the web application Clear filters didn't work correctly in the web application Import in the web application did not support text files Deleting a column that was being used by an index threw an error instead of informing the user of it.

Exmon 22.6

We are excited to bring you the exMon 22.6 release with new features and improvements. Summary This release brings an improved PowerShell experience for cloud users in exMon Data Governance as well as a change in behaviour for how items are set to run through execution connection. In exMon Data Management we have been working on feature parity in desktop and web applications.In this release, we introduce the first preview of Hierarchies on the web and the possibility to import fixed values when importing into a table in the web application. We have also added a feature for administrators to give their users access to specific columns.exMon Data Management Hierarchies on the web (Preview) The first preview of hierarchies in the web application is now available. Creating hierarchies is still only possible in the desktop client. However viewing, editing, and managing hierarchies is now possible on the web client.  Read more about the web hierarchies preview here.User permissions for columnsAdministrators can now grant users Viewer or Contributor privileges to specific columns, giving them better control over who can view and edit data. Read more about this here. Import fixed value in web application Previously users could only import fixed values in the Desktop client, but we have now added the possibility to do so through the web application.  exMon Data Governance Running PowerShell in Cloud Cloud users can now run PowerShell scripts in packages and queries without using an execution connection. The script can only include commands that the exMon team has approved. Read more about PowerShell in the cloud here.Execution connection queue Execution connections are used to execute tasks on different servers than the main exMon DG server. With this change exMon no longer requires direct access to the server that should run the task but instead the execution connection polls exMon DG for tasks to execute. This change prevents issues such as execution connection overload and firewall problems. Bug fixes and smaller improvements Data Governance ETA for the process map did not work   Process timed out after it had finished executing   TimeXtender did not allow for custom paths  Links to support pages were updated   Email summary was by default set to true for compare queries   Create table did not work in Data Transfer when the source was set to PowerShell   Passwords containing hashtags did not work in the DG desktop client   Package parameters are now usable by all package types Data Management Create table from imported .csv files did not work   Link to support article “Unable to connect to database” was wrong   Logo in trial popup was tiny An error message after changing privileges for database users    Weird button in the settings form    Fivetran connector with space in schema did not work    Actions set to run automatically after saving did not run after importing in the web client  Saving changes in the execution tab in Actions did not work  Better error message when converting column datatype fails  Changing Import from Database action did not work Turnkey We’ve been working hard on making Turnkey production ready and continue to improve the user experience in many areas. For example, user management, auto-saving, and rule configuration. Furthermore, we have made small fixes where necessary and continue to add new features. The goal is to bring in more beta testers in January. If you are interested, please contact us at support@exmon.com.How to upgrade? In Exmon Data Management, users in versions 22.5 and above can complete the upgrade themselves through the Desktop client. See the Guide.Contact support@exmon.com to upgrade

Exmon 23.3

We are excited to bring you the Exmon 23.3 release with new features and improvements. Summary In this release, we have added several new features. These include exception tagging in the portal to Exmon Data Governance, a Jet Analytics data provider and package type, test groups. We have also moved the TimeXtender ODX package type from Beta to Stable along with other smaller fixes and improvements. In Exmon Data Management, we have added the Geography data type and support for a larger range of DateTime values. Rebranding In this release, we've given our emails and login page a fresh look by switching from the old logo to the new Exmon logo. We believe this update brings a more modern and cohesive feel to our platform, aligning with our vision for the future. Exmon Data Management Geography Data Type We are introducing a new data type that will bring support for Spatial Location data of type Geography. This means that now you can map points based on the geographical location anywhere on Earth. In addition, Exmon DM will now be able to read SpatialLocation data in databases. To use this type of data, you can either create a new table or a column in existing tables with data type “Geography”.  Support for a larger range DateTime values In some cases, users need to be able to store a larger range of DateTime values than the default DateTime SQL data type. In this case, we have added the option for columns to support this and save the values as datetime2 values instead. To activate this support, check the Support Larger Range box for the DateTime column in the Table Designer. Exmon Data Governance Jet Analytics Data Provider and package typeWe have added an option to connect to and run Jet Analytics packages from Exmon Data Governance. The functionality and usage of the new Jet Analytics packages is identical to the tried and tested TimeXtender packages that have been part of Exmon Data Governance for a while.Tagging on Exceptions in the Portal Users can now create their own tags in the portal. The user can select an exception and select the button Tags opening a modal popup. In the popup, the user can create a tag by writing it in the input and add or remove a tag from the exception which will help users organise their exceptions.The tags will show up in a column labeled Tags and the user can filter the grid showing only exceptions with specific tags.The user can also navigate into exception details and see the tags connected to the exception. They can also see the action history when and what tags were added or removed from the exception.You can read more about Tagging Exceptions in DG Portal hereTest Groups Test Groups allow users to add and configure multiple tests on a specific table in one editor. In this release, there will be three test types available for Test Groups:Null check Empty table Custom SQL.These Test Groups can be created on SQL, Exmon Data Management and TimeXtender Data Providers.  You can read more about Test Groups hereBug fixes and smaller improvements Data Governance All items in dropdown list in Execution Connection field in Data Provider were doubled  User didn’t get email summary after successful execution when creating a new email summary  Data providers were not filtered per system in the Object Browser  Deploy window only deployed tasks it could see  Creating table in DG Data Transfer didn’t work for DM Data Provider Changed logos in DG  Email summary didn't always send an email to user  When user selected an invalid data provider or invalid client secret, all data related to azure package were populated and there was no warning that data provider was invalid  User got an error message when trying to save a synapse package with invalid Data Provider, invalid app ID, invalid tenant Id or empty data connection  Some Data Providers were duplicated in the Data Provider Drop Down field. Error was shown instead of a warning message when no Data Provider/Execution Job was selected  Incorrect icon in Synapse Package  Synapse package always ran successfully with an invalid execution connection  Successful Process failed and Execution History did not show all data  The Execution History button did not work in Email Summaries Dates in Exceptions Details in the DG portal were in Icelandic  The assigned username was not shown in Exception details  Inconsistency in error messages when saving empty packages   TX Saas package failed to run but didn’t write out any error messages  Incorrect icon in Azure Synapse package Buttons became invisible when hovering over them in the DG Portal  Incorrect package name in the header in the Status page in DG web  Error email for packages was not always sent  Dates were in Icelandic in Email to Query Owner  Could not open Exmon DM Data Providers No information in output that an email was sent to CC  Incorrect Azure package icon in Schedule group, Object group and Process  Email Summary was sent to CC users, when send to query owner, was selected Data Management Clicking tab in cells in web made the percentage column 0% instead of null  Table and column viewer didn’t have copy in context menu   No data was in preview when creating a new table when importing from a flat file  Filter in Desktop did not refresh after deselecting  Importing percentage into float column  Files are not deleted from Lib folder when upgrading Exmon applications  Changing the name on SQL Action threw an error  Changed logos in DM  Default value overrode unput value  Hierarchy with max height as 1 threw an error while saving  Error messages were not clear when entering incorrect value  Saving a new branch in Hierarchy threw an error  Remove Edit Hierarchy from context menu in Hierarchy  Copy table was changed to a dropdown button  Import removed space from column name and the user couldn’t find it in web  Issues with inserting values in large number column  DM API large number column treated like a decimal  Error when a user was removed  Excel icon was missing in Export table  Custom settings in import made Import button not visible in web  Updated branding in import email in DM web  Log off URL did not work in DM web  Share table data URL needed a Json format  DateTime dropdown was hidden in import in web  Read Only bool column in web tried to insert null value instead of false  Using Exmon DM table to import into a new table threw error because of system columns  User couldn’t filter the dropdown  Inconsistency in showing filtered data in DM desktop and web  Link to a table with null filter didn’t work Changing the column to a lookup column after importing showed the column as empty on web TurnkeyExplainer: Our next generation of Exmon, codenamed "Turnkey," is our Cloud-first solution that has been modernized and improved for a better user experience.

TimeXtender 6590.1

It's officially spring in the northern hemisphere and incidentally, we have a bouquet of features and improvements ready for you in TimeXtender 6590.1.NewODX on OneLake: We are excited to introduce Microsoft Fabric OneLake as ODX storage on our platform. This enhancement enables users to seamlessly harness OneLake for all ODX operations, from initial setup and configuration in the Portal to comprehensive integration within TimeXtender workflows. This is the first of many planned integrations with Microsoft Fabric, so stay tuned! Note, however, that you currently cannot use OneLake as your ODX storage if you use Snowflake as your data warehouse storage.  New data source provider for OneLake: A new data source provider for seamless and efficient ingestion of delta parquet tables from Microsoft Fabric OneLake, directly into your preferred storage solution via the TimeXtender ODX. Optimized for ingesting data from OneLake, this feature is not intended for use with Fabric OneLake ODX storage. Publish data as a REST API endpoint: Added a new semantic endpoint, REST API, that works together with a server component installed on-premises or on a virtual machine in the cloud to publish data through REST API endpoints. As getting data through a REST API is a very common use case, the new endpoint type opens up a host of opportunities for integrating TimeXtender with other tools. In our previous major release, 6505, we introduced a new REST data source provider. This means that you can now publish and ingest data from your TimeXtender solution through a REST API using first-party components. New and improved data source providers for Hubspot and Exact Online: The new providers dramatically improve upon the previous CData options with enhanced usability and performance. These new options allow you to easily add custom endpoints and flatten complex tables. To upgrade to the new connectors today just search for the "TimeXtender Hubspot" or "TimeXtender Exact" when adding a new data source connection. Then, in ODX, you can edit an existing data source configuration and change to the new TimeXtender data source connection. Read more about editing data sources. ImprovedYou can now have multiple data warehouse instances open at the same time in Desktop. We've reshuffled the shortcut menu on Data Sources in ODX instances. "Add Data Source" now redirects to the 'Add data source connection' page in the Portal, while the previous "Add Data Source" functionality is now "Map Existing Connection". The intention is to make it clearer that adding a brand new data source happens in the Portal, while "adding" a data source in Desktop is using one of the data source connections mapped to the instance in the Portal.  We've upgraded a lot of our underlying UI framework. You might notice a few changes and improvements to the Portal UI as a result of that. When adding firewall rules to instances, your own IP is now automatically suggestedFixed (Portal)Fixed an issue where data source connection categories would not be shown if the category was assigned a null value  Fixed an issue where MDW/SSL transfers could lead to errors Cloning TimeXtender REST data sources could lead to incorrect data on password fields ODX connection timeout value did not get set correctly Changes to users would not get propagated to identity provider Inputs did not get correctly disabled on SSL Qlik endpoint form Disabled fields would show up as required on the ODX form Fixed issue where the SSL form would sometimes incorrectly flag inputs as invalid, thereby making it impossible to save Fixed incorrect short name suggestion on data source mappingFixed (Desktop)Default settings for key stores were not remembered in the key generation menu for data warehouse instances using SQL Synapse or Snowflake. The parameter '%Instance%' was not working for email notifications. The CSV endpoint was not escaping the text qualifier. On-demand execution from ODX to data warehouse would fail when having the same ODX table in a data area multiple times while using ADF to transfer from an ODX ADLS2 storage. ODX to data warehouse transfer would fail when using ADF and having the same table mapped multiple times, but using different columns in each table. When using a custom field as parameter in a custom measure or calculation group item in a semantic model, the parameter would disappear after closing and opening the semantic model instance and editing the custom measure or calculation group item. Cleaning up mapped objects between an ODX and data warehouse would never clean up the instance mapping causing copy instance in the Portal to always request a remapping of an instance even though it was no longer used. Fixed issue in the semantic model repository upgrade scripts where calculation group and custom script tables were not marked as tables to be included in instance copying  Fixed an issue where jobs completed with errors or warnings were incorrectly displayed as "Completed". They are now accurately labeled as "Completed With Errors or Warnings.   Custom Data on a data warehouse table did not rename the custom data column when the corresponding field was renamed. The data warehouse field validation type 'Is Empty' would mark empty string values as invalid. Fixed an issue where raw-only fields were included in the Data Movement pane. Fixed an issue where preview in Filter Rows in the ODX would always select the first table. Fixed issue where incremental transfer from a ADLS2 ODX with 'Limit memory use' setting failed for empty tables. Fixed issue where transfers from ADLS2 ODX to SQL Synapse would fail if the source table contained reserved system field names.
