Improvements

New Feature DescriptionID
A link to the Unity UI is now displayed in the Classic UI (a banner at the top of the page and an item in the User menu). It can be switched on/off in General Settings but the link is no longer configurable – it always points to the Unity version of the current partition.PFUN-8497

A DM Refresh can be run in two different modes:

  • Incremental mode - Only the DS data modified or added since the last DM refresh is loaded in the DM.
  • Non-incremental mode - All the source data is (re-)loaded in the DM. When the DM is already populated, a non-incremental refresh usually results in a costly merge of mostly the same data from the DSs into the DM. To prevent this, the DM is truncated first, resulting in a much faster load. But if a DM Truncate is performed before the DM Refresh, the DM can be without data for quite a long time (until the DM is fully populated again).

The new solution here is to do the Truncate and Refresh in one and the same DB transaction, and let this be driven by the DL's incremental mode setting. To avoid disruptions in existing projects (even though it is strongly recommended that it should always be possible to rebuild a DM from its source data, there could be e.g. a PA Calculation DL that enriches the DM data once loaded and this DL may stop working after the full (non-incremental) DM refresh), the new non-incremental DM Refresh behavior is enabled only when a partition level 'truncateDatamartOnNonIncRefresh' feature flag is set.

PFCD-7334
datamart.importfile now supports importing numbers written in scientific notation in CSV. Supported formats are 1e02, 1E02, 1e+02, 1E+02, 6e-04, 6E-04.PFCD-7454
For new partitions, the default password complexity rules are now stricter: the initial default setting is that a password must be at least 6 characters long and must contain at least one number and one upper case character.PFCD-7486
Email templates have been changed: all texts have been moved to a separate file, so that they can be localized easier. The previous templates keep on working.PFCD-7494
The heartbeat service deletes now finished jobs after a configurable delay (default is one day) and before deleting, it checks that the job has finished.PFCD-7548
InputBuilderFactory has a new method for creating buttons createButtonEntry(String paramName).PFCD-7611
