Metamodel Changes

  • We have renamed the S3 Catalog domain type to Storage Catalog.
  • We have moved the following out-of-the-box asset types:
    • S3 File System is now a subset of File Storage.
    • S3 Bucket is now a subset of File Container.
    • Directory is now a subset of File Container.
  • We have added the flowing new out-of-the-box asset types:
    • GCS File System: An asset type that represents Google Cloud Storage file system as a subset of Technology Asset → System → File Storage.
    • GCS Bucket: An asset type that represents a Google Cloud Storage bucket as a subset of Technology Asset → File Container.
    • File Storage: An asset type that represents a Cloud File Storage bucket as a subset of Technology Asset → System.
    • File Container: An asset type that represents Cloud File Container as a subset of Technology Asset.

New features

Search

  • When you rebuild the search index for your Collibra environment, the Output Module is now used to fetch the data. This new, default method greatly improves performance during index runtime. There are no changes to the search index configuration settings or the means by which you reindex your environment. If considered necessary, you can roll back to the old indexing method, via Collibra Console.

(Undefined variable: CollibraProducts.Collibra4Desktop)

  • You can now filter the content on the Recommendations tab. The available filters are based on your browsing history in (Undefined variable: CollibraProducts.Collibra4Desktop).
  • The Discover section in (Undefined variable: CollibraProducts.Collibra4Desktop) now shows a list of the last updated assets of your Collibra environment.
  • The Discover section in (Undefined variable: CollibraProducts.Collibra4Desktop) can now suggest asset recommendations based on your browsing history in the app.
  • The (Undefined variable: CollibraProducts.Collibra4Desktop) settings now includes a tip page with useful hints to use the app.
  • An acronym's asset page now shows the description of the corresponding business term.

Enhancements

Data Catalog

  • You now see a relevant message when running an S3 synchronization and the Jobserver is offline. (ticket #61856)
  • You cannot run an S3 ingestion if you have not defined any crawlers.

Data Governance

  • You can now wrap the text in cells on the Organization page of the Stewardship application.
  • You can now disable the new Scopes page. (ticket #82427, 82877, 83352, 83516, 86327)
  • You can now create and edit complex relations in fewer steps.
  • You can now add the "Last modified by" field in a view and use it in the filter pane of asset views.
  • The Organization page of the Stewardship application can now include inherited responsibilities.
  • The current session endpoint of the REST API v2 now includes the associated CSRF token when applicable, and, optionally, the user information for the session.
  • The Browse pane now only shows the views for which you have view permissions and the relevant global permissions.
  • Searching for users in user selection fields now also shows corresponding email addresses.
  • Searching for users in user selection fields now also show email addresses next to the first and last name so that users with the same first and last name can be distinguished.
  • Non-administrator users now only have limited access to information of other users, for example they can no longer see the users' history.
  • If you import a CMA file using the Migration feature, you now see an overview of the changes before the actual import.
  • All user selection fields in dialog boxes and tables now show the users' first name, the last name and email address.
  • A non-admin user now only has limited access to the user profile information of other users. (#72348)

Search

  • The Status facet is now a multi-select facet, meaning that when you are filtering search results, you can now simultaneously filter on more than one asset status.

Collibra Console

  • You no longer have to restart Collibra after changing the hyperlinking configuration.

Security

  • The user input in the default email templates is now encrypted. Unsafe characters are replaced with safe versions.
  • If you try to reset your password but you enter a password that is too weak or the password confirmation is wrong, the fields are now cleared.

  • The default password policy for new environments now requires strong passwords. For existing environments, we recommend to review the password policy configuration.
  • You can now configure a period during which you cannot sign in after entering a wrong password too many times. By default, new environments only allow for 3 attempts before a time delay of 5 minutes is triggered.

API

  • You can now use different labels to define multiple columns in the table output query that contain the same data referenced by the "fieldName".
  • The REST Import API v2 now supports importing responsibilities for communities, domains and assets.
  • The console API has a new endpoint to upload backups and process the uploaded file asynchronously. (ticket #76760).
  • JSON requests with malformed JSON, such as syntax errors and missing JSON fields, now result in standard API error responses.
