Deprecated API
As a part of Runtime´s version 4.4 release, we´ll be removing a few deprecated API functions in order to improve the user experience and stability of our REST API. This can impact existing Runtime automation scripts that rely on sending commands through the API, but as these functions have been deprecated for more than a year now, we suspect the impact of this change will be minimal. Nevertheless, in the following article is an overview of removed functions and their alternatives, should you have to partially rework your scripts.

Version	4.3.1
Description	Fixed small Workflow user interface issues Fixed format issues in API documentation Fixed writing errors multiple times inside log file
Date	18 Nov 2022

Version	4.3.0
Description	Introducing 'Workflow' After months of development we are very excited to introduce our new Workflow module inside DATPROF Runtime. Workflow is a powerful module-based automation tool that allows testers and developers to combine Runtime’s ability to provision test data with the option to execute proprietary software, use powerful PowerShell scripts, execute SQL scripts, send emails, alongside other modules. Why use Workflow? In the test data generation/subsetting/masking pipelines there are usually many processes that happen before or after test data is created. Think of an e-mail being sent out to testers notifying them that their environment is ready to be used, or the renaming and storage of audit files for later reference by a security officer. Workflow is intended to give you the tools to perform a multitude of tasks to further automate the workflow of administrators and testers alike. Workflow comes with an easy the use drag and drop canvas style editor in which users can easily connect different kinds of modules and link them to each other. Many of the workflow modules have output properties that can be used directly in other modules.

DATPROF Runtime 4

DATPROF Runtime 4 offers a complete renewed user interface with some great new features. Managing, executing and automating different Subset, Privacy, Generation applications for different database is easier than ever. This major release bring some changes to the license model. However, for existing customers with a valid Runtime license, this will be a free upgrade! Please contact your sales@datprof.com to find our more about the changes.

Single environment - Multi installations
One of most requested features was the ability to install multiple applications inside a single environment. For example if you have multiple Subset applications and also a Privacy application that you want to deploy on the same target database, you don't have to create multiple environments anymore. This greatly reduces the amount of environment that you have to manage

New dashboard
We've added a complete new dashboard view in which administrators and self service users can monitor environments that are executing applications. Also from this dashboard you have a new method to start a new run. Just pick the right environment, installed application and scenario you want to execute and click the Start run button. You will return to the dashboard to monitor this run.

Applications
In previous versions applications were uploaded under a Project and could only be installed inside an environment that was within the same project. In Runtime 4 applications are moved to a higher level central repository that can be used in all of the environments. Also the terminology of Project has changed to prevent some confusion. Projects are now called Groups and can be used to cluster your environments to find them more easily. Applications are now visually identifiable as a Subset, Privacy or Integrate application by using the icon throughout the Runtime 4 portal.

Improved installation
When installing an application you sometime have to change certain parameters like schema mapping or the database link. With Runtime 4 you can now directly change this during the installation instead of making it consistent after installing. Off course you still have the option to change this settings later on.

Dropped support for Internet Explorer 11
Unfortunately Runtime 4 offers no support for Internet Explorer anymore. The successor of Internet Explorer - Edge has been introduced in 2015 and has been actively developed. Most computers already have a modern secure browser installed, if not; install Edge, Chrome, Brave or Firefox.

Backward compatibility
Runtime 4 is completely backwards compatible with Runtime 3.x installations. Just upgrade like you have done before and make a backup of your Runtime Home data folder before upgrading. For information about upgrading Runtime, we refer to the upgrade documentation ( https://docs.datprof.com/runtime/latest/runtime-installation/upgrade-instructions).
