Overview
Version 1.17 of dab Nexus introduces significant enhancements, focusing on real-time data processing, streamlined task creation, and first foundation to support multi-SAP system selection in the next interation. These updates aim to improve automation, transparency, and scalability in your SAP data workflows.
Highlights
Real-Time Data Processing
A new real-time mode has been introduced, including:
- Real-Time Objects: Detect and extract new or changed SAP records based on number range objects – no SAP-side configuration such as CDC or ABAP enhancements required.
- Real-Time Scheduling: New frequency setting that automatically restarts tasks after successful execution – enabling near-instant data replication, available for replication and extraction tasks.
Enhanced Task Creation and Job Control
- Unified Initial and Delta Variants: Tasks can now incorporate both initial and delta variants, eliminating the need for separate configurations.
- Modernized Interface: The task creation UI has been overhauled for improved clarity, including a review step summarizing all settings before finalization.
- Native Job Control: Replaces the previous Hangfire-based system, reducing external dependencies and enhancing stability.
New additions or changes
Self-Service Licensing: dab Nexus now supports self-managed licensing via the customer portal (portal.dab-europe.com), similar to other dab products. License changes and updates can be performed independently, enabling faster and more convenient license management.
Templates in Package Studio: Package Studio now includes curated templates provided by dab – useful for exploring new data areas and learning from best practices.
OneLake & Microsoft Fabric – Stabilizing Open Mirroring: Resolved an issue where overwriting folders in OneLake caused Microsoft Fabric’s Open Mirroring to drop and recreate mirrored tables. This was due to folder recreation and ETag changes. The adjustment was validated in collaboration with Microsoft and ensures more stable behavior in future Fabric updates.
Authentication with Fabric Open Mirroring: dab Nexus now supports authentication via Client ID and Client Secret when using Fabric Open Mirroring.
Bugfixes
- The new job control solves all previous issues that occured when using scheduled tasks e.g. task was not executed every X hours on a specific set time [#272110],[#272042],[#272174]
- Fixed an issue where selecting a single "Schedule State" (e.g. "Active" or "Deactivated") in the Monitor resulted in an "unknown error". The filter now works as expected for all values.
- Several issues related to the third-party service have been addressed and fixed, including problems affecting Excel export functionality.
