- A warning is shown when leaving the page with unsaved changes.
- A confirmation prompt appears when deleting a variant.
- A warning is now displayed on the SAP Systems and SQL Server configuration pages when changes are made without saving.
- When cloning Analytic Tasks linked to an Analytic Group, the associated values are now correctly retained.
- Custom mapping can now be configured for tables with variant-specific dependencies.
Fixes
- Fixed a crash when establishing a Spark connection using a Client Secret in Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse.
- Fixed an issue in the Alteryx Third Party Service (TPS) that caused a crash during the extraction phase. [#272682]
- Improved error handling for missing databases at the start of a run. [#272682]

Release Notes 1.17.210
Published: June 30, 2025
Changes
- Mit dieser Version werden Eingaben unter Package Studio > Reports wieder als Transaktionen interpretiert
Bugfixes
- A regression where transaction codes were interpreted as report names has been fixed.
- An error has been fixed whereby a COM interface reference for SAPGUI was not released. This change may improve the stability of report extraction.
- A performance issue that could cause Analytic Tasks to execute incorrectly and prevent the time of the next execution from updating correctly has been fixed.
- An error in the monitor feature has been fixed that could prevent the size of the data from being determined if the schema was 'dbo'.
Release Notes 1.17.25
Published: June 10, 2025
Bugfixes
- In some cases, cloning a task could result in certain configurations of the original task being ignored.
- Predefined parameters from the Analytic Group are now correctly merged with existing inputs during task creation – regardless of whether the inputs were entered manually or come from a clone.
- During task creation, individual values can now be entered or calculated per variant for different filters. The displayed time period reflects either the manually entered value or – in case of a dynamic setting – the calculated value.
- The “Change Schedule” button in the Change Schedule menu is now disabled by default, and the calendar button is enabled until a valid input is made (e.g., a new start time and, depending on the frequency, additional settings for Weekly or Monthly).
- Issues with Snowflake connection settings have been resolved: connections can now be correctly restricted to teams or individual users, the schema dropdown is displayed reliably, and schema restrictions during task creation now work as expected
Release Notes 1.17.0
Published: May 14, 2025
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.
