Process flows

Type	Summary	Ref #
New	Cache lookup transform - fail on miss option The cache lookup transform function now includes a fail on miss option. When this option is ON, the map shape will fail if the cache lookup transform function is configured to use a cache key that can't be found in the given cache. If this option is OFF, a missing cache key will not cause the map shape to fail. Referencing a cache in mapping transformations	CPT-2931
Enhancement	Script shape - script deployment & retries If a script shape is configured to use a script that needs to be re-deployed, deployment is attempted automatically. In the event that the first attempt fails, it is retried up to three times. After three failed attempts, the step fails and further checks should be made. Script shape	CPT-2961
Enhancement	Improved logs for regex transform failures The following transform functions use a regex expression to split strings according to a user provided delimiter: Last word, First word, split. Logs have been enhanced for cases where one of these transforms fails because the specified delimiter is not escaped. Now, an invalid regex statement error message is provided, with details about which transform has failed. Transform functions	CPT-2954

Connectors & instances

Type	Summary	Ref #
Enhancement	My connectors pagination The my connectors page now includes pagination. If more than 50 connectors are installed, page numbers are now available so you can step through pages. Accessing your connectors	CPT-2951

Custom scripts

Type	Summary	Ref #
New	Custom scripts - write flow run logs To provide more visibility on what a script is doing, you can now add a message to scripts for output to logs (both live and retrospective). This is achieved using a logs array key in a script, with required output added as strings (maximum of 500 characters). Custom script messages for logs	CPT-2914
Enhancement	MySQL database access from PHP scripts The PDO_MYSQL extension has been added for PHP, providing access from PHP to MySQL databases. Custom scripts	CPT-2927

Connector builder

Type	Summary	Ref #
Bug	Field tags duplicated when multiple schema items are present Fixed issue where the field tags list for an endpoint would include duplicate entries if the schema includes duplicate data (i.e. where an actual payload rather than a schema was provided). Field tagging	CPT-2765
