New features

Data Catalog

  • The Apache Kafka Data Catalog connector now supports data profiling

Data Governance

  • You can now wrap all text in the cells of a table view, and, optionally, save the view so the text is wrapped when the view opens.

Data Privacy

Collibra for Desktop

  • You can now follow hyperlinks within Collibra for Desktop if you enable auto hyperlinking in the Everywhere Desktop configuration section in Collibra Console. By default the feature is disabled. You also must have enabled hyperlinking in the Hyperlinking configuration section.
  • The navigation bar now has a Discover section, which includes a list of assets that may be of interest to you and a list of the most viewed assets in your environment.
  • You now have a specific Windows installer which allows you to install the application even if you don't have administrator rights, for example, due to limitations of the corporate IT policy. You can also still leverage the automatic updates.
  • You can now expand and collapse the task sidebar.
  • You can now reassign a task to another user, role or user group.
  • You can now cancel a task.
  • Recommendations in the Discover tab now load much faster.
  • On the Most Visited Assets page, you now see the number of page visits for each shown asset.
  • The Discover tab in the navigation bar is only shown if there are most visited assets.

Enhancements

Data Catalog

  • On the Data Classification Dashboard, you can now click on a row to view detailed information about each data class.
  • Data profiling of Microsoft SQL Server data sources using push down sampling is now faster.
  • The queued jobs are evaluated for execution separately from their submission to avoid thread contention and dead locks, hence enhancing the stability of an import or of any other job. (ticket #64285)
  • Import jobs are now making sure that their related files are not deleted by the cleanup mechanism if the job is queued for a long time. This will ensure resiliency of long running jobs and of jobs queued for a long time.
  • The default maximum number of jobs that can run in parallel in the core DIC process has increased from 5 to 15 and you can change it in the configuration. Please notice this limit only relates to the total number of running jobs. Additional limits may exist per job type. This allows you to run more jobs in parallel.
  • When an import job is queued for a long time, the related files remain available until the job is completed.

Collibra Data Governance

  • When exporting views using the Migration feature, you can now use filters and sorting to help you find relevant views.
  • You can now add trusted web domains to a whitelist to ignore the HTTP response headers configuration for calls from those web domains.
  • Hierarchies in asset tables now load faster.
  • The configuration of hierarchies is removed from Collibra Console.

Data Privacy

  • Collibra Assessments is now available via the classic navigation of the Collibra user interface.
  • The Assessments workflow has been renamed the Assessments Approval workflow. To enable the workflow for non-privacy contexts, you no longer have to work with the Privacy Steward resource role, which was previously hard-coded. Business Steward is now the default resource role, but as with all other workflows, you can now configure this workflow for any resource role that has the required resource permissions. You can now also configure a start event to trigger the workflow.
  • When working with templates in Collibra Assessments, you can now disable the automatic numbering of questions.

Search

  • The Search service now uses Elasticsearch version 7.12.1, which enables the latest functionality and security features, including TLS1.3 cyphers.

Collibra for Desktop

  • On the Most Visited Assets page, you now see the number of page visits for each shown asset.
  • The Discover tab in the navigation bar is only shown if there are most visited assets.

Collibra for Mobile

  • You can now look up and consult communities and domains in Collibra for Mobile.

Security

  • jQuery is updated to version 3.6. (ticket #58052, 64717, 65320, 66237)

API

  • You can now use external entity mappings in the REST Import API as an identifier for complex relations in addition to their UUID and their relation types.
  • You can now use the GET method of the REST Core API /jobs endpoint to search for all the jobs managed by the Job service.
  • Legacy Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) terminology used in the Output Module API is now deprecated. All deprecated terms have alternatives that you should switch to. This is part of the REST Core API. Read more
