My top features in July

 

Data Integration & Connectivity

Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) as Source for Your Replication Flow

After delivering SFTP as a target already in May this year, you can now also use SFTP connections as sources in replication flows to any supported target.

➡️   More information:

Transport Objects Between File Spaces

You can now export objects from and import objects to file spaces, meaning a space based on the embedded object store with file-based artifacts.

➡️   More information

 

Task Chains

New Layout Option in Task Chain Toolbar

The options in the task chain editor toolbar have been re-arranged and a new layout option was added. The new layout option allows you to rearrange the visual display of a task chain on the canvas, from top-to-bottom (the default), or left-to-right.

➡️   More information

 

Connection Type Generic HTTP

With the new connection type, you can connect to external systems and add tasks that are exposed by REST-based APIs to task chains. For this purpose, we have introduced the new API Tasks connection feature, which is supported only for Generic HTTP connections.

➡️   More information

 

Running API Tasks in a Task Chain

The generic HTTP connection is the prerequisite to provide the ability of running tasks in a task chain that use a REST-based API to access external systems.

➡️   More information

 

New Notification Task Object in Task Chains

SAP Datasphere now allows users to set up additional email notification within a task chain, in addition to the notification specified for completion of the entire task chain. Users drag the new Notification Task object to any point in the sequence of tasks run in a task chain and then specify the subject and message for this new email notification. These new notifications use the same recipient list as the email notification maintained at the task chain level.

➡️   More information

 

Self-Service Enhancements

Enable Multi-Availability Zones for SAP HANA Cloud

Use the Enable SAP HANA Multi-Availability Zones option on the Tenant Configuration page to create a synchronous replica of the main system on a system in a different region. The synchronous replica system has a high-availability setup that can take over processing when necessary.

➡️   More information:

Enabling of SAP HANA for SQL data warehousing on Your SAP Datasphere Tenant

Administrators can now create the mapping between their SAP Datasphere tenant and their SAP Business Technology Platform account to enable SAP HANA for SQL data warehousing themselves, rather than needing to raise a ticket. Both environments for Kyma and Cloud Foundry are supported and the same information as previously required for the ticket with Organization ID and Space ID is required to be able to do the instance mapping.

➡️   More information
