3. NOTIFICATIONS

3.1 New Config Systems package changes the way to define source systems

New Config Systems package changes the addition/update/deletion of source systems for SOURCE entities. The source systems are now to be added in the Config Systems before creating/importing new SOURCE entities. There is new Configuration UI to manage source systems. Config Systems need to be also committed and deployed as part of solution development/delivery in addition to the entity package with SOURCE entities. Deletions are soft deletions.

3.2 Known issue with new code editor in Load Steps and in View SQL

The new code editor introduced change in line break handling, so that it uses the locale settings from the end-user operating system. This means that one line comments in SQL (with syntax --) can break the execution of the SQL (in both Export in Designer & Deployment to Runtime). Same can apply to Python and Shell load steps in Private Editions also.

3.3 After upgrade you might not be able to login to Workflow Orchestration (Dagger) UI

It might require hard refresh of the page in the browser. This is due upgrade of Apache Airflow 2.0 version and changes related.

Also if you get http error 404 page not found, you might be referring to url https://<domain>/dagger/admin. Please refer to https://<domain>/dagger. Apache Airflow 2.0 has changes in the page names etc.

3.4 Known issues with persisted tags filters in package list

1. A known issue makes the filters not to be remembered/persisted correctly.

2. Another known issue throws an exception. It is about persisted package status ordering/filtering selection.

A way to resolve these, is to clear browser's local storage. Might be present also in other table views.
