Ataccama 14.2.0 Release Notes

It is now possible to see results for individual dimensions in Catalog and Glossary rather than just the overall quality. This means that both the aggregated overall quality and dimension results will be visible in the Overview and the Data Quality tab for terms and catalog items and their attributes.

A tab for the individual dimension results is only available if the following two conditions are met:

For more information about data quality dimensions, see Data Quality Dimensions.

In general notifications in monitoring projects, instead of individual notifications for all alert types, you can now enable a single notification which will alert you in case of each of the events selected. As before, you can enable alerts for: monitoring failed, new results available, critical structure errors, data quality issues, and anomalies. For more information, see Monitoring Project Results, Reports, and Notifications.

Furthermore, in addition to existing in-app and email options, we have made it possible to send notifications to Slack and Microsoft Teams channels. To enable these options, you will need to integrate ONE with Slack or generate a webhook from Microsoft Teams. See Slack Integration and MS Teams Integration respectively.

Error states now use clearer language and calls to action that can help resolve them. In case of a persistent error state, the messages also include details you can share with a system administrator or the Ataccama Support team. For an overview of common error states, possible causes, and actions you can take to resolve them, see Understanding ONE Web Application Error States.

We have introduced an option to track and collect usage data in Ataccama ONE Platform as a Service (PaaS) instances. When you first log in to your application, you can allow or block storing cookies in your browser.

Cookies are retrieved and analyzed using PostHog, a third-party, self-hosted product analytics platform with a demonstrated focus on security and compliance.

We made it easier to work with multiple entity references. To refer to multiple instances of a referenced entity at once, add the new Referenced object array property type to an entity and select the entity you want to reference as the target. Nesting these properties across different entities also lets you create many-to-many relationships.

See the Referenced object array property in an example of a many-to-many relationship configuration:

Here, we added a property Contributors, which references a custom office entity from a custom exampleManyToManyRelationship entity. The office entity itself includes a Referenced object array property referencing a custom employee entity. As a result, you can drill down multiple levels of references. You can also add or remove references wherever the property occurs.

To learn more about how to add and configure properties, see Metadata Property References.

When importing data into ONE, you now have the option to only validate the submitted data without importing it. To do this, select Run validations only on the Validate and Import data screen.

Click View for a comprehensive overview of the validation results on the Import And Export screen.

Drill down the validation results to find exact results relating to each type of asset and validation.

For more information, see Import and Export.

In addition to exporting data to a database or ONE Data, you can also export data to a file. To learn more, see Data Export, section Export to File.

You can now use DPM Admin Console to easily restart DPEs as well as configure cloud connectors. For details, see DPM Admin Console and DPM and DPE Configuration in DPM Admin Console respectively.

We have added support for Dropbox, allowing you to import and process Dropbox files in ONE. For more information, see Dropbox Connection.

We have reworked the identity and access management system to make it easier to configure the authorization privileges of your employees. After upgrading to 14.2.0, make sure you configure everything that is necessary for access management in ONE: groups, governance roles, and access levels. Otherwise, users from your organization can’t access the assets they are working with. For more information, see User Access Management.

To determine your upgrade path, see ONE Gen2 Upgrade Guide.

Multiple users can now work on the same table without worrying about overwriting each other’s changes. When you try to add or remove an attribute, your changes are only saved if the table structure hasn’t been modified by another user in the meantime. Otherwise, you need to load the latest changes first before continuing.

Currently, the feature is not supported for duplicating, renaming, or reordering attributes. To learn more, see Get Started with ONE Data, section Optimistic locking.

ONE Data is now aligned with the rest of Ataccama ONE when it comes to how DQ results are calculated and displayed:

For more information about DQ dimensions and their configuration, see Data Quality Dimensions.

You can now migrate drafts and issues while upgrading to version 14.2.0.

Drafts can be migrated using:

To migrate issues you can use:

As part of this feature, the task and manual match decision export and load were introduced. You can now export and load tasks using a Task migration load operation, and manual match decisions using Manual match decision load operation. For more information, see Migrating Data in MDM.

You can now download AI Matching metadata for all entities in the application. This information can be used by Ataccama for AI Matching performance analysis. For details, see MDM AI Matching Telemetry and Monitoring.
