Enhanced connectors

Enhanced connectors

This release includes enhancements to the following connectors.

Adabas CDC Connector

When you restart a task that uses a CDC connector to connect to the source, you can now choose whether to perform a cold start or warm start from the job details page. A cold start restarts the task from the beginning, without recovery. When you cold start a failed task that has recovery enabled, Cloud Data Integration does not process the recovery data. A warm start resumes processing from the point where the task ended, with recovery. Typically, if a task fails after an initial cold start, a warm start is used to restart the task with recovery.
The cold start option is not supported for tasks that have Snowflake targets.

Amazon Redshift V2 Connector

This release includes the following enhancements for Amazon Redshift V2 Connector:
  • Mapping in SQL ELT mode
    • You can read complex files such as Avro, JSON, ORC, and Parquet from an Amazon S3 source.
    • You can use the Aggregator, Joiner, Lookup, and Union transformations in a mapping.
    • You can use an upsert operation to update existing records and insert new records in an Amazon Redshift target.
    • You can preview data in transformations configured midstream in the mapping flow.
    • You can push certain aggregate and conditional expression functions to Amazon Redshift.
      For the list of functions that you can push down to Amazon Redshift, see the
