v7.0 Release Notes

Here's what's new in version 7.0.

New Features​

Workflow​

Previously, task dependencies only supported an 'On Success' relationship, meaning a downstream task would only run if its upstream task completed successfully. Version 7 introduces two new dependency conditions: 'On Failure' and 'On Completion', giving you more control over when tasks execute.

Additionally, tasks with multiple upstream dependencies previously required all upstream tasks to succeed before starting. Users can now select an 'OR' relationship, allowing a downstream task to start as soon as any one of its upstream tasks finishes.

Solutions​

Production lines are often related or need to be viewed together, so we created solutions to help you organize them. A solution lets you group related production lines in one place—for example, you could bring together all the production lines that feed your company's performance dashboard.

From a solution's page, you can run and deploy individual production lines, edit their properties like names and descriptions, and enable notifications at the solution level instead of subscribing to each production line separately. You can also view the solution's pulse health, which shows a filtered view containing only the production lines within that solution.

Connections​

In an effort to simplify the task form, we have moved common connection details into a new Connections area. As per best practice, most of the time this information was set within a task group, but users still physically saw all these properties within the task form. Now, a single source Connection list is all you will see for most ingestion activities.

UI Refresh​

Version 7 brings a complete refresh of the user interface. The top bar has been removed and all items previously within this have moved to the nav menu.
