What's New in DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.6

Overview

The main enhancements for DataFlux Data Management Studio 2.6 include the following:

Enhanced Interface for Customizing Quality Knowledge Bases

A Quality Knowledge Base (QKB) is a collection of files that store data and logic that define data management operations. SAS software products reference a QKB when performing these operations on your data. You can use DataFlux Data Management Studio to customize a QKB by modifying definitions or creating new definitions for use with your own business data.

The interface for customizing QKBs has been enhanced. You can now browse, test, and edit your QKB from within DataFlux Data Management Studio. You can browse, test, and edit multiple definitions in your QKB at the same time. Capabilities have also been added for searching and filtering QKB definitions and libraries, such as schemes, grammars, and vocabularies. For more information see Accessing QKBs from the Administration Riser.

New ODBC Drivers for Apache Hive and Cloudera Impala

New ODBC drivers for Apache Hive and Cloudera Impala are installed with DataFlux Data Management Studio and DataFlux Data Management Server. For more information, see Adding ODBC Connections for Hadoop.

Changes to Clustering

The following changes were made to the clustering features in Entity Resolution

Support Added for SAS Lineage Viewer

Previous releases of DataFlux Data Management Studio exported lineage information to DataFlux Business Data Network. You can now export lineage data from the active repository for a DataFlux Data Management Server to the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform (WIP). Clients such as SAS Lineage Viewer and SAS Business Data Network can use this lineage data in various ways. For more information, see Exporting Lineage Data to SAS Web Infrastructure Platform.

For more information about SAS Lineage Viewer, see this page on support.sas.com: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dmlin

Support Added for SAS Business Data Network

SAS Business Data Network is a new web client that replaces DataFlux Business Data Network. This client enables you to discover, document, and manage a glossary of business terms. For more information about SAS Business Data Network, see this page on support.sas.com: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dmbdn

If you want to associate SAS Business Data Network terms with DataFlux Data Management Studio jobs, tables, and other objects, you must export lineage data from the active repository for a DataFlux Data Management Server to the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform (WIP). For more information, see Exporting Lineage Data to SAS Web Infrastructure Platform.

Previous releases of DataFlux Data Management Studio included administrative interfaces for DataFlux Business Data Network. These interfaces have been removed in this release.

Dataflux Repositories Can Be Stored on SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Servers

You can store a DataFlux repository on the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server. The first step is to create an ODBC connection to the server. You can then use this connection to create a DataFlux repository on the server. For more information, see Adding ODBC Connections to SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Servers.
