Version 1.4

Compatible with DataChain instances in versions equal to or higher than 8.3.

Enhancement

Instances

  • Connexion: when you reconnect to DC-Maestro, you are automatically redirected to the Planning list of the last selected work instance.

  • Creation: you are informed if an Instance already exists with the same address and creation is blocked.

Planning

  • Real-time display: execution schedule display speed has been improved

  • Task order: the logical order and the real order in which tasks are executed are now clearly distinguishable.

    • From the execution tracking page ("Tasks" column): the order and number of visible tasks is calculated on the basis of the last known Workflow record. Each task displays its last known execution status.

    • From the history tab of a Schedule: the order and number of tasks visible correspond to the actual execution order.
      Each task displays the current known status for that run.

  • Workflow : When tasks are not fully set up, you are now warned and invited to delete them so that you can save the task workflow.

Corrections

  • Sorting on lists of DataChain elements

    • sorting is now performed on all array data.

    • sorting by last modification date is now available again.

  • Contributors

    • Users who are not part of a group can now see the Private Schedules for which they are a Contributor in the list.

    • It is once again possible to delete all groups added as contributors using automatic selection.

Version 1.3.0

Version 1.3 DC-Maestro is compatible with DataChain instances in versions equal to or higher than 8.2.

Enhancement

Planning

  • Collaborate on a schedule: the owner of a schedule can now add groups and users as contributors. Contributors can perform all the usual actions except deleting and managing the list of Contributors.

Learn more about Contributors.

  • Activate and inactivate a Schedule: non-automated Schedules can now be inactivated.
    When inactive, a Schedule can no longer be executed (manually or automatically).

  • Deleting a Schedule*: it is now possible to delete an execution even if it has already been run.
    Note that all traces relating to actions carried out on DataCHain Core elements via Maestro are still visible from GenericsData and HandleData.

It is not possible to deactivate a Schedule during execution or integration.

Tasks

  • DataBlock export*: a new DataBlock export task is now available for automation.
    2 parameters are expected

    • DataBLock: the element containing the data to be exported

    • Export model: the element describes the export mode to be used

Unlike the other persistence, publication and exhibition tasks, export tasks are not unique.

Runs

  • Improvements to the execution list: the reading and amount of information available from the execution list has been improved.

    • CRON frequency and the next Scheduled run are now visible in local time and on hover in UTC.

    • last run is now displayed in local time and when hovering over UTC

    • inactive Schedules are greyed out at the beginning of the line.

    • actions are available from the action button

Executions are defined in UTC time: the execution frequency displayed in the CRON is therefore in this format and differs from the date and time of the next execution displayed in local time.

  • Improved task status management: the blocked status is now displayed when a task could not be executed because it is linked to a previous failed task.

Miscellaneous

  • Line breaks in text boxes*: paragraphs with line breaks located in description boxes are now managed and visible in all displays, including tooltips.

Corrections

  • Sorting on execution history: sorting is now done correctly on the page.

  • Correction to the path to the documentation: update to the new documentation for the DataChain platform

  • Formats accepted for CRON: an error prevented numbers containing 0 from being added and.
    Spaces and certain special characters are now prohibited

  • Task log: fixed redirection from the task log page

Version 1.2.0

Enhancement

Administration

  • Actions as DC-Maestro administrator: you can now access the list of existing Schedules (public and private) in order to take action on executions in an emergency.
    From the Schedule administration page, you can

    • Pause an automatic Schedule

    • Execute a Schedule (if it is not already running)

    • Start a Schedule run

It is not possible to access details of schedule or make other changes in the administrator view. These actions are still available in standard schedule view.

Executions

  • Force refresh of the list of DataChain items: from the item selection mode, you can click on the "Refresh" button to retrieve all the data updated in DataChain Core.

  • Control of the uniqueness of DataChain elements: in order to guarantee the consistency of value chains, each DataChain element can now only be added once for the same task. Example: if the DatBlock *DBA* is selected for the Persistence task in Schedule P1, then it is no longer possible to select it for Persistence tasks (in this Schedule or another, as long as it has been saved).

Enhancement

  • Automatic logout: you are now warned when your session is about to expire (10 and 2 minutes before logout) to prompt you to save your work in progress.

Corrections

  • CRON: we’ve tightened control over CRON from the interface and API so that we no longer generate an error when sending a character not supported by the orchestration server.

  • DataChain projects: now display the last modification date instead of the creation date.

Version 1.1.0

Enhancement

Instances

  • Access to Schedules: you can now access the list of instance-related Schedules directly from the selected instance map by clicking on View

Schedules

  • Time zone: an area now shows the orchestrator time in the top menu and when editing an automatic Schedule Orchestrator-time-and-status.
    This allows you to quickly calculate the actual execution time in case the orchestrator has a time difference with DC-Maestro.

Tasks

  • Workflow: the automatic reorganisation algorithm has been improved.

📌 You will soon be able to choose a specific organisation for each Schedule.

Security

  • Token: It is now possible to update all tokens linked to existing Schedule. From your user account page, click on Update token and validate the action to immediately update the tokens of all the Schedules you own from this newly generated token.

Miscellaneous

  • Tooltips: numerous tooltips have been added to truncated texts to facilitate reading.

  • History

    • manual executions performed in parallel with scheduled automatic executions are now displayed in descending order

    • History tabs are now correctly reset when changing pages

  • Real-time run update: a random error that stopped the automatic real-time run updates on the Schedules page has been corrected.
