ONE Web Application

Anomalies in DQ Reports

Information about detected anomalies is now available in the DQ Report tab, which is often the main source of information for DQ users. If you need to check for anomalies using the DQ Report, on the catalog item level select Group by Attributes: the Anomaly column will be visible.

Outdated Rule Notifications

If your monitoring project contains rules that have since been edited, you will be notified in the Configuration & Results screen. You can update the rule instances to the latest version, by selecting Update all.

Lookup Improvements

  • References to lookups will be automatically updated when lookups are reuploaded.

  • You can rebuild lookups when reference data changes, even when the current version is still in draft.

  • Lookup items can be created directly from the catalog item or attribute page, and from the Profile and DQ insights tab.

ONE Spark DPE

Databricks Authentication

Beginning with 13.4 you can authenticate with your Databricks clusters using Azure Active Directory Managed Identity and Service Principal methods. Note that for these two methods SparkJDBC42 or newer is required.

MDM

In this version, native services available on HttpEndpoint in both SOAP and XML formats are not secured by default and additional configuration must be used. For more information, see Native Services.

MDM Server Introduction

MDM Server was introduced as a springboot packaging for the MDM Engine to make MDM more independent on the Runtime Server, improve MDM deployment in cloud environment, unify the technology stack across the platform, and simplify future MDM development. See MDM Configuration.

Note that version 13.4 should be used for new MDM projects only. For upgrade of ongoing projects, it is advised to wait for the more stable version 13.6.

Runtime Server Components

The Runtime Server is still used for workflows, online services, and some other supporting components, but other components have been rewritten for the MDM Server or removed entirely:

Rewritten components

Configuration of the following components has been moved to mdm-server-application-properties.adoc:

  • NmeServerComponent

  • MdaBackendComponent

  • UserSettingsComponent

  • DqitServerComponent, DqitMdaServerComponent

Removed components
  • DerbyServerComponent, H2ServerComponent, JmsMessageServerComponent

Components compatible with both Runtime Server standalone and MDM Server
  • Web Console Component, HealthStateComponent, VirtualFileSystem, JMS Provider, HA Component

  • Workflow, Scheduler, Online server

MDM Server application properties

The new MDM Server application.properties file now stores configuration previously defined in other files:

Configuration files up to 13.3.0 Configuration moved to application.properties from 13.4.0 onward

mdm.serverConfig

HTTP server

References to MDA, NME and DQIT config files

User settings

mdm.runtimeConfig

Keycloak configuration

mda-config.xml

AI Matching

URLs to other modules

Interal JWT authentication

gRPC server

OnlineCtl Discontinued

The OnlineCtl commands for MDM are no longer supported from version 13.4.0 onward. In future releases, this functionality will be replaced by REST API calls.
