Semarchy xDI 5.3 Release Notes

This document provides the latest information about Semarchy xDI version 5.3, including new features and Bug Fixes.

Feature Highlights

Semarchy xDI version 5.3 is a major release with multiple improvements. This new version adds a new mechanism to simplify the installation of Components, an improved user experience, security features such as the external value resolvers, and of course integration features such as target and qualify filters, and new components.

New Licensing

Semarchy xDI comes with a new licensing mechanism. A fresh Designer setup now has a built-in 7-days trial period after which it must be registered.

Registration can take place in online, offline mode, or performed against a license server installed within your network. For scripted deployments, administrators can pre-set the license configuration for their users via system properties.

The new licensing mechanism simplifies Designer registration while supporting all specific infrastructure or security requirements.

Simplified Component Installation

Semarchy xDI Designer now includes a built-in mechanism to easily download the components and connectors to integrate and work with your systems.

Semarchy provides a central update site, pre-configured in Designer, from which users can download and install with a few clicks components certified by Semarchy. This process automatically installs all the required dependencies. Users can see and install all the components available, but can only use those allowed by their license.

Semarchy Branding and Product Experience

All components (Analytics, Designer, Runtime, and components) are rebranded to Semarchy, including all the graphical user interfaces.

Configuration parameters, including environment variables, options, driver URLs, class names, HTTP endpoints are also rebranded. Previous names are still supported for backward compatibility.

The entire product and components documentation is now consolidated in a single location, available online from the Semarchy website. It is released separately from product components for more frequent updates and improvements.

Improved User Experience

Semarchy xDI Designer is now certified with the latest versions of Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It includes multiple UX enhancements to accelerate your integration flow design experience, including reorganized toolbars, contextual menus and editors, clearer labels for properties and actions, etc.

Multiple Metadata Wizards have been enhanced, not only in terms of user experience but also by adding features to ease connecting and reverse-engineering. For example:

  • The Database reverse-engineering wizard indicates the possible causes when it finds no table. The reverse-engineering process also takes into account foreign keys referencing tables in separate schemas.

  • The JSON wizard now supports reverse-engineering from a JSON Schema.

  • The XML wizard can now reverse-engineer XML data stored in the clipboard, and infer datatypes when sourcing from XML data.

  • The Excel wizard is enhanced to help configure the JDBC driver properties. Excel datastores now support Row Number and Row Count pseudo-columns, added as Property Field nodes in an Excel datastore.

  • The HTTP REST metadata wizard now reverse-engineers cookies headers from the response. It also supports XML reverse-engineering from XML schemas in addition to JSON Objects and JSON Arrays.

  • Google BigQuery metadata now supports partitions reverse-engineering.

The Query Editor is greatly enhanced with new features: The Ctrl+Enter shortcut to run a query, sorting, column ordering, copying the contents of a column/cell/row to the clipboard as well as exporting to CSV.

In the Mappings editor, when mapping the first field from a source datastore the user is proposed to map only this field or automatically all source fields matching by name.

In the Processes editor, a new "Arrange all (with Collapse)" action collapses all steps while arranging them in the diagram.

The Expression Editor has been enhanced with improved syntax highlighting and enhanced detection and navigation for metadata, session, and environment variables, as well as user-defined functions.

Target and Qualify Filters

Target Filters are new filters that can be added to target datastores in mappings, allowing to filter the data targeted by updates. This feature is available and improves the performances of integration templates for technologies supporting this capability (Teradata, HSQL).

A new Qualify property on filters allows configuring the use of the QUALIFY clause for filter conditions. This type of clause filters the result of the ordered analytical/window functions on the data. This feature is available and improves the filtering performances for technologies supporting this capability (Teradata, Snowflake).

Extended Actions

A new Execute SFTP Command action allows running commands on an SFTP server.

Get Files with SCP and Send Files with SCP have a new "SCP Preserve File Date" property to preserve file timestamps after the transfer. These actions also support processed files publishing in a table, and Get Files with SCP supports binding downloaded files to actions.

The SQL File Export now supports exporting named objects instead of SQL queries resultsets, and a new "SQL Exp SQL Query File Encoding" property to define the encoding of the query file.

The Execute Delivery action now supports limiting the number of parallel running sessions.

Modules Improvements

With the Dynamic Module Refresh, Modules added or modified in a runtime no longer require a runtime restart to be taken into account. This behavior is configured using the moduleRefreshMode configuration parameter. Administrators can also force an agent to reload its modules using the reload-modules runtime command.

In addition, Designer automatically creates at startup all the modules considered complete in the local runtime. This option may be configured in the Designer using the xdi.designer.module.automaticCreation boolean.

Secrets Management

The management and securitization of sensitive data (secrets) in Semarchy xDI are enhanced with External Value Resolvers and Ciphering Keys.

External Value Resolvers is the new feature that allows designers to retrieve sensitive values stored in external secret stores such as Hashicorp Vault, Google Cloud Secret Manager, Amazon Secret Manager, Microsoft Azure Key Vault, etc. External Value Resolvers are configured in the runtime configuration file.
Designers can refer to external values in the metadata definitions, and xDI retrieves these values from the external stores and uses them when needed.

Semarchy xDI Production Analytics now supports the capability to define Ciphering Keys per environment and runtimes. These keys are used to generate deliveries with the encryption configured for the runtimes in these environments. In addition, you can select the key used to encrypt sensitive information stored in the Analytics database.
The Runtime also supports configuring a ciphering key to encrypt or decrypt passwords stored in the deliveries.

Log Level and Inheritance

Delivery execution and scheduling from Analytics, from the runtime command or from an action, now supports explicit configuration of the Session Log Level.

A new runtime configuration property enables Log Level Inheritance for child sessions to use the log level of their parent session.

New Semarchy xDM Component

The new Semarchy xDM Component supports bi-directional data integration for a Semarchy xDM data hub. Using this component optimized by the Semarchy teams, you can publish source data into Semarchy data locations, and consume data data to distribute it to other applications. This component includes Semarchy xDM dedicated tools to manage loads and sessions and take into account the Semarchy data certification process in your integration flows.

Components Highlights

A new Kafka Structured technology streamlines reading and writing structured messages to the Kafka event streaming platform. Using this technology, you configure both the connectivity to Kafka as well as message structure (Avro, JSON, etc). The structure is used to reverse-engineer, validate, integrate the messages. Reject topics are supported for messages that do not comply with the structure.

New SAP SQL Anywhere component to integrate data from and to the RDBMS formerly known as Sybase SQ.

The JMS and AMQP technologies now appear as dedicated components that can be installed from the component update site.

Excel now supports reverse-engineer and read/write to Excel Tables. The Excel driver also supports explicitly defining via the pathType=folder|file property whether it accesses a single Excel file or a folder containing multiple Excel files, each file accessed named after a Catalog.

Salesforce component is enhanced with a new template to integrate data using the Bulk API v2 from Salesforce.

The JSON integration template allows configuring how empty arrays or objects should be written in the output node.

The integration templates for REST and SOAP APIs now support configuring retries, functional response codes, and error messages capture to handle errors occurring on API calls.

Components installed in Designer now automatically contribute to the list of statistics, automatically adding those relevant for their technologies. These statistics can be enabled/disabled from the Designer’s preferences.

Noticable Changes

  • The definition of the Semarchy xDI Runtime authentication security node is now mandatory and the default configuration ships a list of default users that do not include an anonymous user anymore.

    See Runtime Security for more information about the security configuration. This change impacts the default configuration only, which can be customized to your own requirements.
  • With the default configuration, the Semarchy xDI Runtime now listens to localhost only, and the RMI/SOAP/REST endpoints are exposed with 'localhost' hostname.

    See Runtime Security and Runtime Services for more information about the security and hostname configuration. This change impacts the default configuration only, which can be customized to your own requirements.
  • The RMI protocol used by the Semarchy xDI Runtime is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Although RMI is still currently supported, we recommend using the HTTP protocol from now.

  • In the Designer Runtime view, the default protocol used to connect to the built-in runtime is now HTTP and no longer RMI.

  • Analytics is no longer certified for Tomcat version before 8.5.x. Review the system requirements for the list of certified application servers.

  • Sybase ASE is no longer certified for Analytics. Review the system requirements for the list of certified databases.

  • Semarchy xDI Designer requires a JDK 11.0.2. Earlier version of Java 11 fail to connect to the license server. Review the system requirements for more details.
