End of life for Jobserver

Announced with release 2023.03

The 2023.02 release brought with it the general availability of the Jobserver to Edge migration script for schemas (JDBC ingestions). Aligned with the migration script release, we are announcing the end of life of Jobserver and all related Jobserver integrations for September 30, 2024. This end of life applies to all Collibra environments with the exception of Public Sector customers using GovCloud or on-prem environments.

If you are using Jobserver and are not a Public Sector customer using a GovCloud or on-prem environment, you will need to migrate to Edge before September 30, 2024. Please reach out to your Customer Success Team if you have any questions.

End of maintenance support for on-premises environments for commercial enterprises

Announced with release 2022.11

Collibra ended maintenance support for on-premises environments on January 30, 2023, for commercial customers. On January 30, 2023, we released an on-premises update that included backport fixes for Collibra Data Governance Center 5.8 to maintain security and performance.

This does not apply to public sector agencies and organizations. See the following section for details on on-premises support for public sector agencies and organizations.

To discuss the next steps for your migration to cloud, please contact your Customer Success Manager.

Important 

For public sector agencies and organizations

Please note that Collibra will continue to support on-premises environments for public sector.

  • On-premises product support for public sector extends across Collibra Data Catalog, Data Governance, Data Lineage, Collibra Data Quality & Observability, Data Privacy and Core Services.
  • Collibra is FedRAMP moderate certified.

Collibra is committed to serving public sector agencies and organizations and supporting them on their data modernization journey across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments.

Please contact your Collibra Customer Success Manager and account executive should you require any assistance.

Collibra email provider change for application emails

Announced with release 2023.01

Important This change does not affect GovCloud and on-premises environments.

In February 2023, Collibra switched email providers for our application emails to improve email security. Please note, this did not impact marketing or other Collibra emails.

This change only affects you minimally or not at all, unless your organization applies very strict security. If your organization does apply very strict security, we recommend you review the details below and assess their impact with your security team. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact your support team.

This change impacted:

  • The Mailfrom address
  • The Return-Path header
  • The collibra.com SPF record
  • The IP addresses of the sender
    Tip 

    As of December 22, 2022, IP addresses are:

    • 159.112.252.6/32
    • 69.72.42.227/32

    However, you can check the SPF record of alerts.collibra.com for the latest IP addresses. You can do this online or via DNS lookup:
    dig @8.8.8.8 +short -t TXT alerts.collibra.com

Example 

Below you can see an example of the future email headers. This information can help your IT administrators and security teams determine what changes they may need to make according to your organization's configurations and security policies regarding inbound email. Note that the sending IP addresses may change, so validate them via the SPF record as mentioned above.

Asset Grid View removal

Announced with release 2023.01

During our regular Collibra review cycle, we noticed that the Asset Grid View has very low adoption in production environments. Therefore, we have removed this view from the platform in the 2023.02 (February, 2023) release. Please inform your teams and update your internal documentation accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding and please reach out to your Customer Success Team if you have further questions.

End of life for Collibra Connect

Announced with release 2022.03

We have made the decision to transition away from Collibra Connect to provide customers a wider range of integration options.

Our native Collibra integrations (connectors) will be easier to implement and maintain, provide a better return on investment, and allow you to grow with and derive greater value from Collibra:

  • Collibra integrations and Spring Boot based frameworks will replace Collibra Connect as options to build integrations going forward.
  • You can choose any ESB or integration method for your use case.
  • Our intention is to enable Collibra connectors to support ingestion as well as use cases for data profiling, data classification and other cloud functionalities.
  • If you have an enterprise MuleSoft license, you can easily switch to it. For details on how to switch from Connect licenses to MuleSoft licenses see this Collibra Support article.

Rest assured Connect templates are and will remain compatible with our product, please contact us for any Connect-related question. Only support or any upgrades on these products will be discontinued.

Note As of September 2022, you will need a MuleSoft Community Edition license or your own proprietary paid license to run Connect templates.
