Azure SQL

Delta Lake support
Delta lake is a file storage based on the parquet. It adds metadata information (JSON) on top of the Parquet data to enable a database-like behavior, keeping the data open and accessible from different sources.
Glue now provides an option to generate the required JSON files and thus allows the Glue folder to be easily processed by standard data lake technologies (like a spark) or accessed by query engines like Azure serverless SQL or AWS Athena.
...
The default type mapping can be now overridden with customized settings and used for the extraction or virtualization of the data.
Improvements
Extractors
Similarly Similar to ADSO, also DSO extraction objects support automatic adjustments of DSO structure. If you add a new object to your DSO you no longer have to adjust the structure of your Glue table manually.
BEx Query (BICS) extraction enables you to transfer data from Key Figures in an external format, i.e. currency conversion can be applied.
Using Listcube fetcher, you can transfer data from navigational attributes of BW objects. You can also use these attributes as an input for selection before the extraction.
When extracting the data into files using Mass extraction, the generated JSON files provide you with information that allow allows you to assign the files to a specific extraction process. The JSON files also contain information on whether some data has been marked as truncated during the execution of the extraction.
Additional field GLCHANGETIME can be added to a glue Glue table. This field holds the information about when the entry was captured by trigger (when using trigger delta) or when the extraction was executed (for other delta types)
Glue monitor allows you to filter the extraction jobs based on the execution time using from/to parameters.
...
Glue enables you to define a DB schema used for the HANA table in Hana the HANA view fetcher. By default, the schema is defined in the secondary DB connection (using DBCO transaction) but now you can choose a different one if needed.
You can now use parallel mass extraction using the HANA View fetcher.

When using trigger delta, the number of entries captured by the trigger is displayed in the Trigger Management screen.
...
Queue watchdog enables parallel extraction of data from a queue.
Stability and robustness of the solution has have been improved significantly.
...
When replicating data into parquet files, java a Java JCO connector is required. Java was not started automatically during the extraction. This has been corrected and the process now works without manual intervention.
Mass execution enables you to use data split based on the max number of records or size in MB even if the partitioning field for the calculation of data chunks is the same as the field on which you do the selection of data.
Calculation of package size was not supported for Hana HANA View Fetcher.
If the HANA table contained a field with dot “.”, the extraction was failing. The problem has been corrected and the extraction now works all for this case.
Several improvements have been implemented for the DSO fetcher that allow allows you to modify records modes or add REQUEST ID to a selection.
Mass execution of ADSOs and BEx Queries (using BEx Query Fetcher (BICS)) was not working correctly. The logic has been adjusted to support these scenarios.
When extracting the data into parquet files, the generated JSON metadata files didn’t contain the information about created data files.
In parquet files, the date types were mapped to varchar. This has been adjusted and by default, the data is mapped directly into date format. The mapping can be now customized by using External types mapping described in the “New Features” chapter.
...
Glue monitor was not showing selection values for cancelled canceled jobs of BEx Query mass execution. This has been corrected and now all the selection values are properly displayed.
The monitor was not showing a Variant description in case the user was using any other language different from than English.
The performance of the monitor has been improved and the tool can now handle large amounts of Glue extraction jobs.

Additional features
The parameters of the Glue Object Generator were optimized to enable stable generation of Glue objects with the desired settings.
Glue profiles have been reworked to enable a better user experience.
