This release is only available for Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud. Features and enhancements that are marked with cloud-only will never become available for on-premises environments.

Enhancements

Collibra Data Catalog

• You can now use push down sampling for Exasol.

Collibra Data Lineage

• The lineage harvester now only prompts for passwords of data sources to which you connect instead of all data sources in the configuration file.
• You can now provide Collibra and data source passwords to the lineage harvester at runtime without storing them locally. This enables you to use a password manager.
• The Status page now shows an overview of log files per data source.
• The lineage harvester now connects to different servers based on your geographical location and cloud provider. You have to change your firewall rules to include the new Collibra Data Lineage server's IP address, run the lineage harvester with a full-sync command and restart your DGC service in Collibra Console.

Collibra Data Governance

• If you import an attribute type with allowed values via the Solution install mode of the Migration feature, allowed values from the CMA file are now added to the list of allowed values in the target environment.
• All logged user actions now mention the session ID.

Collibra Data Privacy

• The custom Business Process asset page definitions are now part of Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud; they are not included in the Collibra Data Privacy 2020.12 installation files.
  
  Warning   If you are installing or upgrading to Collibra Data Privacy 2020.12, we highly recommend that you first upgrade to Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud 2020.12. If you install or upgrade to Collibra Data Privacy 2020.12 on a Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud 2020.11 or older environment, you will not have the custom Business Process asset page definitions.

Collibra Reports and Insights

• Collibra Insights Data Maturity Report now correctly accounts for assets with the status Accepted.
• You can now use the packaged diagram view Catalog Lineage 2020.12 for traceability of Microsoft Power BI assets.

API

• The API v1 deprecation statements no longer refer to a "next major release". Deprecation statements now refer to an API v2 alternative when available or are removed until such alternative is available. The deprecated calls are in a "deprecated and supported" status until a future deprecation and removal strategy is communicated.
• Certain API endpoints are no longer deprecated.

Fixes

Collibra Data Catalog

• If you ingested Tableau version 2020.2 and renamed a Tableau Report asset, synchronizing Tableau no longer deletes and recreates the asset.
