Semarchy xDI 2023.1 release notes

This document provides the latest information about Semarchy xDI version 2023.1, including new features and Bug Fixes.

Support information

Semarchy xDI version 2023.1 is a long-term support (LTS) release.

LTS product versions are released annually, and include all changes introduced since the last LTS release. They are maintained and supported for an extended period with patches and fixes.

Alternatively, mainstream support (MS) versions offer the latest improvements and features, and are released more frequently.

For more details about our releases and support policies, see our Support and maintenance terms.

Version number

Semarchy xDI’s versions will now use the <year>.<quarter>.<patch> pattern. The current version will be the first to use this pattern and will be called 2023.1.0.

New Features

Semarchy xDI version 2023.1 is a major release with multiple improvements to the design experience, deployment and monitoring, administration and infrastructure. It also includes new and updated components.

Design experience

JSON deserializer

A major improvement to the mappings design experience has been introduced in the form of the JSON Deserializer, which allows users to integrate semi-structured JSON data contained in table columns. The Deserializer parses the column content into separate fields, which can be mapped into the targets.

The graphical interface of the Deserializer replaces manual code or complex mappings/processes used to process such data, reducing the design time and the risk of errors.

Selective reverse-engineering

An additional wizard step allows users the option for Selective Reverse Engineering of columns and keys.

Apple silicon support

Semarchy xDI Designer is now available for the Apple Silicon (M1, M2) chipsets.

Other design experience enhancements include:

  • Copy-paste support in mappings

  • Browse button to select metadata reference in properties

Deployment and monitoring

Designer CLI

A Simplified Designer CLI has been introduced, providing users with a pre-configured, user-friendly interface to simplify package build and delivery commands. See The Designer command-line interface.

If you were using the legacy command-line, see Upgrade Designer.

Semarchy xDI Production Analytics

Multiple enhancements have been made to Semarchy xDI Production Analytics, facilitating the deployment and monitoring experience, including:

  • REST API definition in OpenAPI v3 format.

  • Alphabetical sorting in some views, validation prompts, and more.

  • Prompt for delivery parameters when running deliveries.

  • New Delivery Name Pattern field in the environment definition to add prefixes and suffixes to the generated delivery names.

  • In the Delivery Projects Supervisor, the ability to build, deploy or build and deploy deliveries.

  • In the Session Report editor, a new Boundary Mode option to filter the sessions that started, ended, or were running between boundaries, with the ability to specify absolute date and time.

  • New Save As option for session reports.

Google Cloud Storage delivery repository

Google Cloud Storage is now available as a delivery repository option, allowing Google Cloud Platform users to store all their production assets in their cloud infrastructure.

New and updated components

Components and Connectors are the heart of Semarchy xDI, providing users with seamless access to capacities and complexities of various technologies. Keeping these features up to date, as well as creating connectors to additional technologies is an ongoing activity at Semarchy.

New Couchbase connector

Semarchy xDI now provides a new Couchbase connector supporting reverse-engineering and integration of Couchbase data, taking advantage of the FTS and N1QL query capabilities.

New Actian Avalanche connector

Semarchy xDI now provides a new Actian Avalanche connector supporting reverse-engineering and integration of Actian Avalanche data, with a specific template for Google BigQuery to Avalanche integration.

New SQream DB connector

Semarchy xDI now provides a new SQream DB connector supporting reverse-engineering and integration of SQream DB data.

New Azure Table Storage connector

Semarchy xDI now provides a new Azure Table Storage connector to create, read, update, and delete tables and entities in Azure Table Storage.

New native CDC for IBM DB2/400

The new Native CDC for IBM DB2/400 uses the native AS/400 journaling capabilities to capture changes and use them in mappings.

Snowflake component update

The Snowflake component has been updated in Semarchy xDI to provide users with templates to load, integrate and replicate data with advanced support for Snowflake capabilities, including Snowpipe, External Storage as well as JSON in Variant columns.

xDM component update

The xDM component has been enhanced to provide users with configuration and templates that simplify consuming data from and publishing data to Semarchy xDM. A new dedicated integration template supports comparing incoming and existing master data for incremental updates as well as automated load management.

Other component updates include:

  • Base and HTTP REST, with a new metadata to store Certificates and Keys, and a new template supporting the JSON Lines format,

  • Cassandra, with enhanced Spark templates and native reverse-engineering,

  • Amazon s3, with new parameters to handle other s3 providers and a dedicated Redshift CDC template,

  • Support for Target Filters in MySQL and PostgreSQL,

  • Harmonized index creation parameters in all templates.

  • Elasticsearch version 2, 5 and 6 are no longer supported.

Semarchy xDI components version 2023.1 require Semarchy xDI Designer version 2023.1.

Notable changes

System requirements

The following changes have been made to the system requirements:

  • Semarchy xDI Designer now supports Apple Silicon chipsets (M1, M2).

  • Semarchy xDI Designer no longer supports Windows 7 and 8.1.

  • Semarchy xDI Production Analytics now supports Wildfly 15.x to 26.x. Previous versions are no longer supported.

  • Semarchy xDI Production Analytics now requires a JDK 11.

  • Semarchy xDI Runtime support for JDK 8 is deprecated and will be removed in version 2023.2.0.

See the System requirements for more information.

Memory settings

Default memory settings have been removed from the Semarchy xDI Designer and Semarchy xDI Runtime configuration files. With this new configuration, memory is by default managed automatically by the Java Machine and Eclipse.

See Designer Memory Settings and Runtime Memory Settings for more details about memory configuration.

RMI protocol discontinued

Semarchy xDI Designer and Semarchy xDI Runtime no longer use the RMI protocol for their communications. HTTP entirely replaces this protocol.

Semarchy xDI Production Analytics still supports this protocol to communicate with previous Runtime versions. This support will be removed in a future version.

In the Semarchy xDI Runtime configuration:

  • The following RMI-related parameters no longer exist: rmiHost, rmiPort, rmiCallbackPort, rmiEnableTls, startSoapServer, enableHttpClientConnections.

  • The following parameters have been renamed: soapHost to httpHost and soapServerPort to httpServerPort.

Semarchy xDI Runtime logging

Semarchy xDI Runtime now uses Log4J2 for logging. Customized logging configurations using the Log4J1 format must be converted to Log4J2 after the upgrade. See Migrating Logging Configurations to Log4J2 format for more information.

The logging is now centralized by default in a single file. A sample logging configuration reproducing previous releases' behavior is available in the properties\samples\logging Runtime` folder.

Semarchy xDI Runtime JDBC connections

JDBC Connection management and pooling in the Runtime have been reviewed to improve stability and performance.

In the Semarchy xDI Runtime configuration:

  • The following parameters have been removed: enableConnectionPoolForJdbcDatabases, enableConnectionPoolForLogDatabase, userLogRdbmsConnectionEnableRetry, userLogRdbmsConnectionRetryDelay, userLogRdbmsConnectionRetryNumber.

  • The following parameters have been added: userLogRdbmsPoolEnabled, userLogRdbmsPoolConnectionTimeout, userLogRdbmsPoolIdleTimeout, userLogRdbmsPoolMaxLifetime, userLogRdbmsPoolKeepAliveTime, userLogRdbmsPoolMinimumIdle, userLogRdbmsPoolMaximumSize, userLogRdbmsPoolValidationTimeout, userLogRdbmsPoolConnectionTestQuery.

ExecuteAPI user role

A new ExecuteAPI user role is added to the Semarchy xDI Runtime configuration. This role grants privileges to run deliveries using API endpoints. This capability is no longer part of the Execute role’s privileges, which is intended to allow running standalone deliveries.

The following related parameters have been removed from the Runtime configuration: soapServerUser, soapServerPassword, soapServerUncryptedPassword, httpRestServiceUser and httpRestServicePassword. The new ExecuteAPI should be used instead.

See Runtime access and security for more information.

Scheduler properties

Scheduler properties defined in the engineSchedulers.properties file have been reviewed:

  • The semarchy.xdi.runtime.scheduler.database01.module property is replaced with org.quartz.dataSource.database01.module

  • The org.quartz.dataSource.database01.provider scheduler property is replaced with org.quartz.dataSource.database01.connectionProvider.class=com.indy.engine.scheduler.XdiQuartzConnectionProvider

Access restriction policy

By default, the access restriction can now be modified only when the Runtime is secured with HTTPS.

If the Runtime is configured with HTTP, the access restriction is limited to localhost only and cannot be changed for security purposes, because with HTTP the network messages are unsecured and the restriction can be bypassed by attackers. If necessary, this security policy can be removed by the enableAccessRestrictionOverHTTP parameter. See Restrict access by hostname/IP address.

Other changes

  • The H2 JDBC Driver included in Semarchy xDI Production Analytics has been removed. It must now be added manually by the user. See Configure log databases for more information.

  • The versions Runtime command is deprecated in favor of the existing runtime version command. See General commands for more information.

  • The Semarchy xDI Runtime built-in H2 database is now, by default, only accessible from the runtime itself. See Built-in H2 database.

  • The Semarchy xDI Runtime built-in H2 database default user and password have changed. If you want to keep using your previous H2 log and scheduler database data, see Built-in H2 database.

Miscellaneous

Notice about Snowflake GCP usage

Snowflake JDBC driver versions prior to 3.13.25 will stop working with Google Cloud Platform on November 1, 2023. See the Snowflake FAQ.

If you are using Snowflake with Google Cloud Platform as the provider, ensure that you are using a Snowflake JDBC Driver at version 3.13.25 or above in Semarchy xDI.

The Snowflake JDBC driver optionally proposed in the Semarchy xDI Snowflake connector version 2023.1.5 and above is already up to date. If you are using a prior version of the connector, consider upgrading the connector version, or edit your module to replace the JDBC Driver version with the appropriate one.
