Amazon Component Release Notes

This page lists the main features added to the Amazon component.

Feature Highlights

Version 2.1.0

Folder creation with the tool AWS S3

The existing S3 TOOL allows to retrieve a remote file which is on S3 and store it locally, through the operation "getfile" which will download it locally in the local path defined.

When the defined path on the parameter "Local File Path" doesn’t exist then the tool AWS S3 will now automatically create the corresponding folder.

Before this change, an error was thrown if the folder did not exist.

Addition of a sample project

A sample project has been added to help for Amazon Component usage.

The new sample project is shipped with the Component, so you simply have to install the new version and you’ll have at your disposal the sample project.

Check this article to learn how to use the sample projects shipped inside a Component.

Snowflake External Storage Attribute

Snowflake Component allows to use Amazon S3 as storage location.

Amazon Component has been updated to automatically provide the availables S3 nodes of the workspace in the Snowflake Metadata.

Below is an example of the Snowflake Metadata with the list of available nodes:

Metadata Configurations on the Amazon S3 bucket name were ignored.

Change Data Capture (CDC)

Multiple improvements have been performed to homogenize the usage of Change Data Capture (CDC) in the various Components.

Parameters have been homogenized, so that all Templates should now have the same CDC Parameters, with the same support of features.

Multiple fixes have also been performed to correct CDC issues. Refer to the changelog for the exact list of changes.
