Introducing database virtualization
We are excited to unveil a new approach to managing and controlling test data with the latest release, fully integrated within DATPROF Runtime. This innovation enables testers and developers to quickly clone or branch their test and development databases without requiring extra storage. Through the use of snapshots, it is now feasible to time travel not just the test data, but the database's structure as well. Creating and restoring snapshots is incredibly fast, completed in just seconds without requiring extra storage space. This efficiency makes it an powerful tool for running automated tests or making significant changes within your database.

To utilize DATPROF Virtualize within Runtime, a specific license key is necessary. For information on license options, please reach out to sales@datprof.com.

Version

4.5.0

Description

This release includes the following new features and bugfixes:

  • The LDAP implementation has been improved to support various LDAP servers, providing greater flexibility and compatibility.

  • A "Download run data" button has been added to the run history for added convenience.

  • An issue where upgrading the application did not update the schema mapping has been fixed.

  • The Workflow email module now supports username/password authentication.

  • Trigger email issues have been resolved for a smoother experience.

LDAP Upgrade Notice: With the new enhancements to our LDAP implementation and the added capability of synchronizing LDAP user groups, the configuration process has changed, making automatic upgrades impossible. After upgrading to Runtime 4.5, the synchronization interval will automatically be set to 0 to prevent synchronization with a potentially invalid LDAP configuration. As a result, attempting to log in with LDAP credentials could lead to errors, depending on the configuration.

To ensure a smooth experience, we recommend logging in with the local Runtime administrator and verify the LDAP configuration. Once the configuration has been updated, you can reset the synchronization interval to your preferred duration, in which the Runtime service should synchronize with the LDAP directory.

Thank you for your attention, and please feel free to contact our support team if you have any questions or concerns.

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.

Date

 

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 introduces a fully redesigned user interface with exciting new features, making it easier than ever to manage, execute, and automate various Subset, Privacy, and Generation applications across different databases. This major release also includes changes to the licensing model. However, existing customers with a valid Runtime license will receive this upgrade at no additional cost! For more information about the changes, please contact sales@datprof.com.

Single environment - Multi installations
One of the most requested features is the ability to install multiple applications within a single environment. For example, if you have multiple Subset applications and a Privacy application that you want to deploy on the same target database, there's no longer a need to create separate environments for each one. This improvement significantly reduces the number of environments you need 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'll be redirected back to the dashboard to track the progress of the run in real-time.

Applications
In previous versions, applications were uploaded under a Project and could only be installed within an environment belonging to the same project. With Runtime 4, applications have been moved to a higher-level central repository, making them accessible across all environments. Additionally, the term "Project" has been replaced with "Groups" to reduce confusion. Groups now serve as a way to cluster environments, making it easier to organize and locate them. To enhance usability, applications are now visually identifiable as Subset, Privacy, or Integrate applications by their respective icons throughout the Runtime 4 portal.

Improved installation
In Runtime 4, when installing an application, you now have the ability to modify certain parameters, such as schema mapping or database links, directly during the installation process. This eliminates the need to make adjustments after the installation is complete. Of course, you still retain the option to modify these settings later if needed.

Dropped support for Internet Explorer 11
Unfortunately, Runtime 4 no longer supports Internet Explorer. The successor of Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, was introduced in 2015 and has been actively developed since. Most computers already have a modern, secure browser installed. If not, we recommend installing one of the following: Edge, Chrome, Brave, or Firefox.

Backward compatibility
Runtime 4 is fully backwards compatible with Runtime 3.x installations. To upgrade, simply follow the same process you used previously. Make sure to make a backup of your Runtime Home data folder before proceeding with the upgrade. For detailed instructions on how to upgrade, please refer to the upgrade documentation.
