What’s New in Perforce Delphix Products?

Faster, More Reliable Job Execution: We’ve completed a major backend modernization of our Continuous Compliance engines, migrating from Kettle to Apache Hop. This upgrade significantly improves job orchestration, engine stability, and scalability for future enhancements. Customers upgrading from older versions are already seeing 3–5x improvements in masking job throughput, depending on data source and configuration.

• Binary JSON Masking: PostgreSQL databases with Binary JSON columns can now be masked, making it easier to secure semi-structured data stored directly in native JSON formats.
• Salesforce Rehearsal Tool: The Select Connector for Salesforce now supports the Delphix Rehearsal Tool (DXRT), enabling teams to simulate metadata package changes - like triggers, workflows, and validation rules - before running any masking job. This pre-flight check helps validate configurations in complex Salesforce orgs, reduce onboarding friction, and prevent runtime errors, all without modifying your data.

• Parquet file ASDD and Masking: Parquet files can now be profiled and masked enabling secure test data management (TDM) and analytics workflows. With Parquet’s high-performance, columnar storage format, enterprises can mask sensitive data efficiently for use in cloud data lakes, AI/ML pipelines, and data analytics platforms.
• AWS ECS Fargate Installations: Continuous Compliance can now be deployed as containers on AWS ECS Fargate. This installation option is in addition to other container platforms including MicroK8s and AWS EKS.
• Engine Sync Memory Improvements: Enhanced memory efficiency for a more robust sync process, especially with large object sets.

• PostgreSQL: Added support for PostgreSQL v15.
• IBM Db2: Added support for IBM Db2 v13 on the IBM z/OS operating system
• Binary Data Support: On-the-fly jobs moving data from databases to files now support binary data columns.  

• ASDD of Fixed Width File: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery (ASDD) now supports discovery on delimited and fixed width files with multiple record formats. 
• Clear Assignment UX: We added a handy new action icon to instantly remove all applied masking assignments and disable automatic updates for specific fields or columns within an inventory.
• Environment Sorting UX: The Environment column now automatically sorts in ascending order with any other column sort action.
• Application Settings UX: The Application Settings page now includes Expand all and Collapse all buttons for easier management of setting groups.
• SSO Login screen UX: The login customization banner has been expanded to be displayed when Single Sign-On (SSO) is enabled. 

• File Masking in Azure Blob Storage: Increasingly, organizations store sensitive application data in object storage buckets. To ensure these buckets can be masked alongside other application data, connecting directly to Azure and masking supported file types is now available.  
• Brazilian Financial ID Algorithm:  Users can now mask Brazilian CPF and CPNJ numbers out of the box with a new algorithm framework, eliminating the need for custom extensions.  
• Improved Auto-Identity Column Job Reporting: Jobs that require the creation of identity columns now report status information on when they are performing that work, resulting in more detailed job monitoring. 

• Azure Vault Support: Continuous Compliance now supports Azure Vaults for file masking.   
• Oracle Masking: Oracle drop/create index operations on partitioned tables have been enhanced and the driver updated to Oracle’s version 1.3.9.  
• Custom UI Branding: Users now have the option of adding their own logo and descriptive text.   

• SAP Accelerator: We have updated our templates to include the Split Address Algorithm. Now, these values are masked with referential integrity, regardless of whether they are within a single value or split across multiple. The version structure has also been updated to better identify any dependencies.  
• Job and Ruleset Names: For added convenience, we have increased the character limit for masking job and rule set names.   
• Google Cloud SQL IAM Authorization for MySQL: Continuous Compliance introduces built-in support for IAM Authorization for MySQL. 

• Cockroach DB Connector: For enhanced usability, we have added Cockroach DB to the user interface picklist within the Database Connector wizard.  
• Improved automated sensitive data discovery (ASDD) accuracy for files: ASDD now aggregates the discovery results across files of the same format within a discovery job before making sensitive element assignments.   

• Automated Sensitive Data Discovery of VSAM file formats: Support has been added for VSAM file formats in the current profiler, bringing parity between the legacy and current profiler. As a result, we have announced the deprecation of the legacy file profiler.   
• Google Cloud SQL IAM Authorization for Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL: Continuous Compliance introduces built-in support for IAM Authorization for both Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL instances eliminating the need for an additional proxy. IAM Authorization for MySQL instances will be available in a future release.   

• Valid Address Masking: We have introduced a new algorithm framework to allow for valid address masking. Before this, you needed to rely on a services-provided extended algorithm.   
• S3 Compatible Storage Enablement: We have introduced file masking support for S3-compatible storage to augment our existing file masking support for AWS S3. You can now connect to GCP using this approach or other S3-compatible targets.  
• Remaining UI Component Updates: We have updated and enhanced the final group of UI components, including the Login and algorithm settings pages. We have introduced a new feature to allow customers to add a welcome message.  
• Legacy UI removal: As part of the completion of our UI refresh, we have removed legacy UI components that are no longer needed, resulting in improved security and UI performance.   

• Modernized User Experience: The user experience has been dramatically improved across all remaining admin sub-pages, including Users, Logs, About, and Email Notifications. A new sub-page for Application Settings has been introduced, enabling users to conveniently adjust application behavior via the UI. The Environments landing page has been upgraded, and the async task is now accessible as a separate page under Monitor. Moreover, the entire UX has transitioned into a single-page application, dramatically enhancing UI performance and user experience. This transition results in smoother interactions and faster load times, among other improvements. 
• SAP Accelerator: Introduced a new method to manage secure password properties. 
• YugabyteDB: YugabyteDB is now a supported Continuous Compliance data source. 
• Discovery of Fixed-Width Files: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery (ASDD) was introduced last year, introducing a complete set of sensitive data identification techniques to databases, JSON, delimited, and XML files. Fixed-width files are now also supported. 
• ASDD Improvements: Users can reduce false positives by fine-tuning the ASDD profile sets with a single assignment threshold.   
• GCP Secrets Manager Support for Postgres: We have added support for using GCP Secrets Manager with Continuous Compliance connectors to Postgres databases. 

• Automated Sensitive Data Discovery for XML Files: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery was introduced last year, bringing a complete set of sensitive data identification techniques to structured data and semi-structured files. Previously, ASDD worked with databases, JSON, and delimited files. It now supports XML files as well.  
• New ASDD Default: New Profiling jobs for connectors that support ASDD will now default to the standard ASDD classifier set.  
• AWS S3 Connector UI: The new AWS S3 connector is now available in the user interface and API. This connector lets you connect to S3 buckets and mask supported file types. 
• User Experience: The Environments Jobs and Connectors pages have been updated, dramatically improving UI performance. Further, there are now ease-of-use wizards for both connectors and jobs and new grid views. 

• Automated Sensitive Data Discovery for JSON and Delimited Files: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery was introduced last year, bringing a much more complete set of sensitive data identification to structured data. This has now been expanded to operate against JSON and delimited files. 
• File Masking in S3 Buckets: Increasingly, organizations store sensitive application data in object storage buckets. To ensure these buckets can be masked alongside other application data, connecting directly to S3 buckets and masking supported file types is now available.  
• User Experience: The Environments Add and Edit Ruleset pages have been updated. 

• Character Replacement Algorithm Framework: This framework allows for creating rules to replace specific characters in a string with other characters. For example, you can use this framework to remove inconsistent punctuation in data to maintain referential integrity across data sources. 

• New String Chaining Framework: A new framework, StringAlgorithmChain, has been added to simplify the process of creating chained algorithms. This works specifically with String-type algorithms and allows for the creation of output based on the combination of those algorithms. For example, some inputs may have a very low occurrence of specific values (think a department in a company with few members or an uncommon political affiliation). With deterministic masking, the occurrence frequency in the masked data could be used to infer the original value. A custom algorithm or regex framework could remove or alter the occurrence frequency of these inputs and ensure that the data is masked adequately. 
• Expanded Classifiers: Automated Sensitive Data Discovery has been expanded to add data discovery for medical codes (CPT, ICD-9, ICD-10), IBAN numbers, swift codes, and bank account routing numbers. Further, we’ve updated the “payment amount” classifier and added a type classifier for license plates. 
• Expanded Algorithms: New masking algorithms have been added for swift codes and bank account routing numbers.  
• UI Improvements: We have continued improving the user interface, replacing the monitoring function in this release.  
• SAP Accelerator: Certified SAP HANA SPS 07, removed the engine command to simplify configuration, and improved error messaging to ease troubleshooting. 

• Password Vault Support for MariaDB/MySQL: Supported password vault platforms may now be used to authenticate the connections to MariaDB and MySQL databases.  
• Extended Email Algorithm: A new email algorithm has been introduced that allows for chaining existing algorithms to produce a combination of name and domain. For example, this will allow the chaining of existing first name, last name, and domain algorithms. This differs from the “Email Unique” algorithm in that the “Email Unique” algorithm aims to generate a unique email address with a string of characters rather than a standard human-readable name. The details of “Email Unique” can be found in the documentation.  
• Masking User Experience Improvements: The masking user experience overhaul continues with an update to the environment's ruleset page. 
• New Classifiers: In Automated Sensitive Data Discovery, classifiers identify different data types. We've added new classifiers for gender, sexual orientation, house number, marital status, language, ethnicity, blood type, prescription drugs, companies, job titles, and departments. 
• New Secure Lookup Algorithms: To pair with the new classifiers, we've added new Secure Lookup Algorithms for marital status, language, ethnicity, blood type, prescription drugs, job titles, and department. 
• SAP HANA: The JDBC Driver version 2.18.13 for SAP HANA SP07 is now supported. 

• New Multi-Column Conditional Algorithm Framework: We have added a new algorithm framework that enables conditional masking of a column. For example, this can be used to apply different Secure Lookups to a name column based on a language code. This will eliminate the need for scripting or custom frameworks that were previously required.  
• Additional Classifiers and Algorithms: We added additional classifiers, domains, and algorithms to allow you to find and mask age and location data easily.  
• Updated User Experience: We continue overhauling the user interface to provide better utility, scalability, and stability. We’ve updated the inventory page for XML and mainframe file formats in this release. 
• FTPS Support for Mainframe Masking: FTPS authorization is now available for masking files on mainframes.

• Improved support for Db2 z/OS: The Db2 z/OS database connector now supports automated management of constraints and triggers impacted by masked columns. This eliminates custom pre- and post-scripting. Note that due to the subtleties of the Db2 z/OS implementation, there is no support for automated management of indexes. 
• Password Vault for SAP ASE: Supported password vaults may now be used with SAP ASE (Sybase) databases. 
• Improved support for SQL Server: The SQL Server connector now supports leveraging Azure AD Service Principals. 
• Redeploy Support (Repave): Continuous Compliance engines may now be disconnected from their storage and redeployed, maintaining the previous configuration and data. Note that redeployment support only works with the same Delphix Engine version. 

• Document type masking support for Delimited File Fields (JSON and XML): Increasingly, XML and JSON data are stored in delimited file fields, often due to exporting a database table to a delimited file. Now, these fields can be assigned an appropriate file format, so fine-grained masking of the XML or JSON can be performed. 
• Improved Ruleset Auditing: We have enhanced our audit logging to include all items in a ruleset upon its deletion.  
• Masking UI Revamp: The database and JSON inventory pages have been completely revamped, with a number of ease-of-use enhancements like filtering, sorting, column-resizing, and overall performance improvements. We highly recommend upgrading to take advantage of this improvement. 
• SAP Accelerator: Various enhancements to streamline the rollout of our scrambling templates. 

• Updated Classifiers: We’ve added a new tranche of classifiers to discover additional sensitive data. These new classifiers include elements like medical record number, full name, age, and IP address. We have also improved several existing classifiers to better discover sensitive information, including credit card and bank account numbers. 
• Password Vault for IBM Db2 on LUW, iSeries, and z/OS: Supported password vaults may now be used with Db2 databases on LUW, iSeries, and z/OS systems. 
• Updated User Experience: We continue overhauling the user interface to provide better utility, scalability, and stability. In this release, we’ve updated the inventory page for fixed-length and delimited file types and the file format settings page.

This enables secure key management for Oracle databases protected with TDE and managed within OCI-native services, aligning with enterprise cloud security requirements.
• Oracle Isolated Keystores with TDE: We added support for Oracle's Isolated Keystores, which allow each PDB (Pluggable Database) to have its own TDE keystore. This enhances security and compliance by enabling finer-grained encryption key management within Oracle Multitenant environments.
• Virtual to Physical for Oracle on File Systems: We now support exporting virtual Oracle databases to physical, non-multitenant Oracle instances running on File System storage using RMAN (backup as copy) as the file transfer mechanism. This capability expands the use case support of Delphix by enabling users to repave, migrate, or restore virtual data into production-like physical infrastructure.
• Oracle RMAN RATE for SnapSync: A new RMAN RATE parameter has been introduced when taking a snapshot of an Oracle dSource via the CLI. If this parameter is set, an upper limit will be set for the megabytes per second read rate while taking a snapshot of an Oracle dSource ensuring RMAN does not consume excessive disk bandwidth and degrade online performance.
• CockroachDB Advanced Data Operations: Admins and self-service users can now create snapshots for CockroachDB VDB. This feature also allows the creation and sharing of self-service bookmarks and the provisioning of new VDBs from the saved point in time (PIT).
• Yugabyte Anywhere: Starting with YugabyteDB plugin v2025.1.0, users can provision a staging database directly through Yugabyte Anywhere (YBA). Staging database can be restored from backups stored in Azure Blob Storage using the YBA restore workflow, streamlining cloud-native recovery process.  Full support for YB-Controller–generated backups on Azure Blob Storage is available when creating or resyncing staging databases.

In a DR scenario, users can quickly repave a new engine by selecting the last good backup, eliminating manual backup and preparation steps for faster engine recovery.
• IBM s390x Platform support: With the Premium Connector for Mainframe, the IBM s390x platform can be virtualized with Continuous Data. The solution is currently supporting Linux distributions Ubuntu 22.04 and RHEL 9.4 and greater.
• Legacy Self-Service Unavailable: As another step towards End of Support, new installations of Continuous Data will by default no longer include the legacy Self Service UI, APIs, and CLIs. Engine upgrades to versions released between now and the September 2025 End of Support date will be unaffected. Please contact your Delphix Account team if your organization does not have a plan to migrate to Data Control Tower for Self Service.
• Always Encrypted in SQL Server: Continuous Data Engines now provide support for Always Encrypted, which is a feature designed to protect sensitive data by encrypting it both at rest and in transit. Customers need to generate encryption keys, store them in the Windows Certificate Store or a Key Vault, and transfer or import certificates to required hosts.
• MySQL: We introduced property inheritance into the connector to simplify provisioning and configuration by passing my.cnf properties from the dSource to downstream VDBs.
• Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS): Full hook utility support for the AIX operating system was added. In addition, all AppsTier installations on a single environment will be correctly discovered to enable users to quickly consolidate Source and Target environments.
• IBM Db2: Added to existing connector releases the support of IBM Db2 v11.5 and v12.1 on the RHEL v9.5 operating system.
• Oracle 23ai: Oracle 23ai is now supported starting with Continuous Data 2025.2.0.0. Refer to the Oracle matrix for supported configurations.

• SQL Server on Linux: Introduced a new select connector for Continuous Data to support SQL Server on Linux 2017 and 2019 virtualization. This offering complements the existing Continuous Compliance masking capabilities.
• Managed Admin Inheritance: To improve flexibility and security, admins can now control whether newly created admins can themselves create more admins. Existing admins can also have this ability removed if needed. Previously, any admin could create new admin accounts, which automatically inherited the same privileges.
• IBM Db2: Added support for IBM Db2 v11.5 on the IBM AIX v7.3 operating system. Standardized the dataset’s storage group and container data paths to improve resiliency during ingestion and provisioning operations.
• PostgreSQL: Added support for PostgreSQL v17 for the RHEL v9.x operating system. 

• SQL Server Availability Group - You can now provision virtual databases within a SQL Server Availability Group configuration on your target environment. This support enables the automation of SQL Server VDB provisioning directly into Availability Groups, streamlining deployment processes. Additionally, customers will enjoy substantial storage savings, as all nodes within the Availability Group are stored in Delphix Continuous Data's efficient storage. This feature is compatible with both Elastic Data and traditional storage configurations, providing flexibility for a range of use cases.
• Data Connector Documentation and Downloads Migration – We have moved connector documentation from the Delphix Continuous Data to the Delphix Ecosystem documentation site. This shift will enable us to version our connector documentation independently of engine releases. To match, connector downloads will move within the  Delphix Downloads Portal's Ecosystem section. 

• Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) of Oracle Multi-tenant, Pluggable Databases: Currently, users can export Oracle database data via V2P for Oracle multitenant pluggable databases to ASM. With this feature, we are enabling the data export to physical filesystems as well.   
• Oracle Virtual Pluggable Database (vPDB) Provisioning: Continuous Data Engines now support provisioning an Oracle vPDB from a snapshot of a non-multitenant source database to an existing virtual container database (vCDB). Previously, only physical container databases were supported as targets. It is important to note that the target virtual container database must already exist, and creating a new virtual target database during the conversion process is not supported. Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) is also not supported.  
• Yugabyte: The Yugabyte Anywhere (YBA) offering can now integrate with Yugabyte VDBs to enhance operational efficiency, such as in using YBA's alerts, monitoring, or backups.  
• Documentation: Broad improvements are introduced in the datasets documentation for Oracle and SQL Server data sources. 

• Repave for Elastic Data Engines: Following the initial phase of delivering Repave for all-block engines, we are delivering the same capability for engines configured with Elastic Data. This allows customers to replace Delphix Continuous Data engines with a new engine (same version) and reattach its storage.   
• AWS Amazon Linux Support for Unstructured Data (vFiles): Adds support of AWS Amazon Linux to our Unstructured Data Virtualization (vFiles) solution.   
• ESXi 8.0 u3 Support for the Delphix Platform: Starting from the 27.0 release, customers can upgrade or deploy engines with ESXi 8.0 u3.

• Documentation: We continue to make broad improvements across multiple areas of our Connector documentation, including Cassandra, MySQL, and SAP HANA. We have also revised documentation to clarify new upgrade paths for all connectors. 

• Windows AD Logging: Our SQL Server install base is growing fast, and our largest customers are experiencing excessive Active Directory login entries for their domain controllers. We have made improvements to provide the right amount of information without overflowing the logs. 
• Fluentd API Activity Log:  We now ship Nginx access logs to the Fluentd service to provide an audit trail of off-engine API activity. This visibility improves the ability to detect vulnerability exploit attempts. 
• YugabyteDB: The YugabyteDB database is now a supported Continuous Data source. 
• MySQL: Certified AWS RDS and RDS Aurora using the Staging Push ingestion mechanism and streamlined the Staging Push configuration for all sources. 
• Cassandra: Added further redaction of values to the support bundle and resolved a malformed IPv6 address issue. 
• Oracle EBS: Please refer to the Oracle EBS’ fixed issues for more details about this release. 
• PostgreSQL: Resolved an issue where some expected tables were missing after a single database refresh or restore, which broke a previously working ingestion.  
• Documentation Updates: We have continued to make broad improvements across multiple areas of our documentation, including Oracle EBS. 

• Oracle: RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9.0 and 9.3 are now supported with Oracle 19c. 
• IBM Db2: The IBM DB2 connector now supports IBM AIX 7.2 and RHEL 9.2. 
• MySQL: The user interface has been improved during the linking of a MySQL dSource in the wizard. Users will notice that only properties applicable to the chosen linking method are shown. 
• Documentation Updates: We have continued to make broad improvements across multiple areas of our documentation, including CockroachDB and MySQL.

• Customizable Local Listeners for Oracle MT RAC VDBs: Database administrators must configure database listener parameters for multiple reasons, notably security, performance optimization, and resource management. We now support customizing local listeners when provisioning a VDB in an Oracle RAC environment. In addition, this allows you to provision a VPDB into a new VCDB in a non-RAC or RAC environment, update local listeners for a VDB in a RAC environment, and update local listeners for a VCDB in a non-RAC or RAC environment. 
• Support Delphix Operations for Oracle RAC VDBs/VPDBs During Downtime: Oracle RAC is used for production databases to ensure their availability 24/7. To comply with business continuity guidelines, we now support the following VDB/VPDB operations when one or more hosts of the Oracle RAC clusters are down: Provisioning, enable/disable, refresh, start/stop, and rollback. This enhancement includes VDBs/VPDBs in VCDBs and Linked CDBs.  
• Staging Push Online DB Mode for SQL Server: We now support database online mode for Staging Push dSources for SQL Server, keeping the source database open for transactions, as needed. Before this enhancement, Staging Push source databases were required to be only in restoring mode. This enhancement is supported for SQL Server deployed on-premises and in the cloud (for self-managed databases and SQL PaaS environments). 
• IBM Db2: RHEL v9.2 is now supported for IBM Db2 v11.5, including IBM Db2 v11.5.9. 
• MySQL: Added Staging Push support for AWS RDS and AWS RDS Aurora MySQL. Certified Amazon Linux 2 as staging and target host environments.

• Documentation Updates: We have made broad improvements across multiple areas of our documentation, including the Delphix Glossary, Datasets’ Getting Started, and PostgreSQL. 
• UI for Object Storage Connectivity Modification: We have implemented several enhancements to simplify the modification of object storage configuration. Specifically, the following can be modified: key rotation for security (key-based authentication), endpoint URL, region, and the ability to change between key-based and profile-based authentication. 
• Improved Elastic Data Migration: Leveraging Elastic Data with Continuous Data provides significant cost savings by leveraging object storage and block storage. We have decreased the time to execute migrating an engine from a standard Continuous Data Engine to an Elastic Data Engine without the need for replication. 
• TDE support for Hardware Security Module (HSM) solutions: Managing Oracle TDE (Transparent Data Encryption) across multiple Oracle environments can be challenging. TDE management solutions have been introduced to solve this challenge and are growing in popularity. Delphix can now connect to and leverage tools like OKV and CypherTrust to perform all operations within TDE environments managed by any of these tools. 
• SAP HANA: HANA SPS 06 and SPS 07 are now supported on the SUSE Operating Systems. 
• MongoDB: MongoDB is now supported on the RHEL 9.0 Operating System. 

• Decreased VDB Downtime: There are two types of upgrades for Continuous Data: full upgrades, where VDB downtime is incurred during a system reboot, and deferred updates, where there is no system reboot and, therefore, no downtime. Note that some features will require a full upgrade. We have improved the upgrade process for the full upgrades to delay the VDB downtime to just the system restart. VDBs remain running during the upgrade and are only down for the system reboot portion.  
• Object Storage Modification: Key rotation, endpoint URL, regions, and authentication types may now be modified for existing connected object storage through the API and CLI. 
• NFS Encryption: We have extended support for Repave and Oracle RAC configurations with NFS encryption. 
• IBM Db2 HealthChecker: The HealthChecker can now validate staging and target environment configuration to simplify implementation. This joins existing support for Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). 
• PostgreSQL: Provided WAL Logs will no longer automatically roll forward a dSource.This action will only occur when a dSource snapshot is taken to eliminate unknown changes. 
• SAP HANA: Certified SAP HANA SPS 06 and 07. 

• NFS Encryption: Using encryption over NFS between Continuous Data engines and the target and staging hosts is now supported. Please consult with your account team as to whether this is an appropriate fit for your needs. 
• MySQL on Linux: Manual Ingestion has been renamed to Staging Push to standardize on Dephix’s established ingestion architectures. Strengthened the refresh and snapshot workflow to minimize occasional failures. Please review the upgrade path for installation guidance. 
• Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS): Updated our virtual database provisioning hooks to support the Solaris operating system. We recommend this release to all users as it contains various bugs and security fixes.  
• Couchbase: We have added support to define multiple buckets, configure RAM sizes, and the ability to ingest multiple full backups. Additionally, the connector will now report data source sizing. 
• Microsoft SQL Server Backup: We have enhanced the useability of data ingestion from Microsoft SQL Server on Azure by dynamically modifying the Access Control Lists (ACLs) for files and folders that different staging and target environment users own. 

• Redeploy Support (Repave): Continuous Data engines may now be disconnected from their storage and redeployed, maintaining the previous configuration and data. Redeployment support only works with the same Delphix Engine version. Currently, engine redeployment is not supported with Elastic Data engines. 

• Delphix Elastic Data Engine Migration: Continuous Data Engines using all-block storage may now be migrated to Elastic Data engines using object storage. Previously, this was only accomplishable via replication. 
• Export an Oracle non-multitenant or PDB snapshot to a physical Oracle ASM or Exadata database: This feature enables you to export data from an Oracle non-multitenant PDB snapshot or timeflow point to a physical Oracle database that uses Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM). This feature is especially useful for Oracle target environments running on Exadata or ExaCC systems. 
• Oracle VDB Provision to a Different Patch Version: You may now provision a VDB with a different Oracle patch version than the source. This will allow you to test Oracle patches on VDBs before committing to production. 
• SQL Server Provisioning Performance: We are enhancing the vDB provisioning performance for SQL Server by eliminating the need to run the checkpoint operation. 
• Improved Access Control List (ACL) Update time for SQL Server Filestream Files: During SQL Server transaction log ingestion, the time to update ACL on filestream files is longer than the transaction log interval, causing delays. We are opting to skip checking ACLs during VDB operations to overcome this issue. 
• Downloadable Fluentd Logs: The fluentd integration allows Continuous Data events to be exported to various supported third-party systems. You can now download Fluentd logs for analysis to better debug using those systems. 
• Changed Support Policy for Cloud Instance Types: Previously, we provided guidance on specific cloud instance types. Given the proliferation of instances and the speed at which the cloud vendors update these, we have moved to a system of general guidance–describing which families of instances are recommended and minimum requirements. These can be found in the documentation.  
• IBM Db2 Connector: SSL/TLS connections are now supported with HADR dSources. In addition, we have revised our linking process to guide configuration based on the ingestion method more clearly. 
• MySQL/Linux Connector: The creation, rollback, and refresh actions of VDBs are blocked when the target environment’s installed MySQL version is not the same as the dSource’s installed MySQL version. The Managed Source Data report and TB usage calculations now report on MySQL data. 
• Couchbase Connector: Couchbase v7.1.x Community and Enterprise Editions are now supported. 

• Elastic Data: We’ve rebranded “Cloud Engines” to “Elastic Data.” Continuous Data with Elastic Data allows you to leverage lower-cost object storage and traditional block storage. This dramatically decreases the operational cost of Continuous Data while enabling new use cases like long-term archival and retention.  
• Private Data Center Elastic Data: Previously, Elastic Data was only available for Continuous Data Engines deployed in AWS (using S3) or Azure (using BLOB storage). We now support deploying Elastic Data with on-premises, S3-compatible object storage arrays. 
• Elastic Data on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure: Elastic Data may now be used in OCI, providing decreased operational costs and new use cases, as mentioned above.  
• Replication Failback: In the case of a failure on a primary Continuous Data Engine, failover may be used to swap operations to a secondary Engine. Previously, this was a one-time, terminal action. With failback, you may restore operations to the primary engine if the failure has been resolved or if you simply want to test the failover process.

Hadoop File Workflows: Two key improvements were delivered to Hadoop Hyperscale Compliance solution. First, support for direct Parquet masking allows files to be sent straight to the compliance engine without conversion to other formats, streamlining performance for large-scale workflows. Second, we’ve introduced automated HDFS active server discovery, eliminating manual IP updates and reducing downtime during active/standby failovers.

• Snowflake on Azure: Hyperscale Compliance now supports Snowflake deployments on Azure, extending our existing AWS coverage. This enhancement allows customers to mask data in Snowflake without consuming Snowflake compute - preserving cloud performance and cost efficiency while meeting compliance goals at scale.
• Streamlined Parquet Workflows: Hyperscale now supports direct Parquet file processing on compliance nodes - eliminating the need to convert Parquet files to CSV before masking. This enhancement improves performance, reduces storage overhead, and streamlines workflows for cloud-native datasets stored in formats like S3 or Azure Blob.

Snowflake on AWS S3: The Snowflake Hyperscale Connector delivers high-speed, cost-efficient masking for big data used in AI and analytics. By leveraging Snowflake Load/Unload and AWS S3, large datasets can be rapidly masked without increasing Snowflake compute costs. The new Snowflake Profiler automatically detects sensitive data, inventories key columns, and submits metadata to the DataSets API, streamlining compliance for AI/ML and analytics pipelines.

• File Connector Enhancements - Parameters such as writer type, spark configuration settings, and max worker threads for each Hyperscale file connector job can now be configured without restarting your containers.  You also can now apply different settings in parallel because variables are job and not container specific. See Kubernetes and OpenShift documentation to configure the source and target connector types. 

• File Connector "Staging Push": Introduced feature that allows users to bypass the unload and load processing steps. This allows users to directly provide source files at a mount point mapped to the staging area. Instead of using writers to parse the source files during unload, a link to the files is created within the staging area and passed to the Continuous Compliance engine. During the load operation, the masked files will be available as links in the target location. Note, the staging push feature is restricted to delimited files.  
• Oracle Dataset Filtering: You can now filter the source data to be processed by a Hyperscale job by applying a "where clause" filter condition in a job's data set. The "where clause" condition is added in unload SQL queries when fetching the data from a source database. 

• Multiple Date Formats for MSSQL Connector: Provides the ability to automatically handle multiple date formats within a single job. This removes the limitation from jobs that require all date/timestamp columns in the dataset to have the same date formats.   
• AWS S3 as a Staging Area: Adds the ability to use AWS S3 buckets as a staging area for Hyperscale Compliance. Note this feature is only available for Kubernetes deployment mode.   
• Unload Split Calculation: An automatic calculation of unload split for Oracle DataSource has been added to eliminate the need to manually provide the number of splits. This not only saves time, but also makes the product more user-friendly and scalable.  
• Kubernetes Deployment Configurations: Users can now specify resource requests and limits for a Kubernetes deployment.   

• Hadoop: Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) data sources are now supported by Hyperscale Compliance.  
• Delimited and Parquet Files: The Delimited and Parquet File Connectors are now consolidated into a single File Connector to simplify implementation configurations.   
• Oracle Date Formats: We have introduced a feature that automatically handles multiple date formats within a single job. This removes the limitation from jobs that required all date/timestamp columns in the dataset to have the same date formats. Also starting this release, you no longer need to configure any unload/load date format environment variables to mask date/timestamp columns.  
• MS SQL: We have made important improvements to both the unload and load processes, including the addition of date and time filtering on the unload and connection pooling on the load.   

• Automated handling of Microsoft SQL Server partitioned indexes: Hyperscale now automates the handling of partitioned indexes (clustered and non-clustered), ensuring that partition indexes are dropped before load starts and created again once data is loaded back into the target database, saving users scripting time as well as improving overall job performance.  
• Handling of WARNING status for Continuous Compliance Jobs: Hyperscale Compliance now handles a new job status. The behavior of Hyperscale Jobs with Continuous Compliance jobs in the new WARNING status is controlled via a flag added to the Hyperscale Job configurations. For configuration details and examples, refer to the Jobs API section on How to setup a Hyperscale Compliance job page. 

• Automated handling of Oracle BLOB/CLOB Columns: Users now save time by automating the handling of Oracle BLOB/CLOB columns, ensuring that null or empty string values are managed seamlessly.   
• Automated configuration of mount filesystem: New time-saving configuration settings enable the automatic configuration of the mount filesystem during application startup.   
• MongoDB connector security enhancements: The MongoDB Hyperscale connector now supports Reduced Privilege Operations.  
• Deployment platform certifications: Hyperscale Compliance now runs on AWS EKS for the Parquet and Delimited connectors and OpenShift for the MongoDB connector. 

• MongoDB Connector Enhancements: Any Hyperscale MongoDB job, including the active unload, masking, and load tasks, can now be canceled while in process. The MongoDB connector can now generate a support bundle through APIs, like the existing feature for Oracle and MSSQL. The generated bundle will only have information on the controller and masking services for the Delimited and Parquet connectors.  
• Deployment platform certifications: We have certified both the Oracle and MSSQL connectors on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). 

• AWS S3: We now support AWS S3 as a source and target location for the Delimited connector, in addition to the existing support for mounted filesystems (FS). 
• Support Bundle APIs: Technical support bundles can now be efficiently generated asynchronously through APIs for Oracle and MSSQL connectors. For more information, refer to How to generate a support bundle. 
• Import Masking Jobs: The job sync function has been improved to import jobs with rulesets containing structured data applied to data columns. A structuredDataFormats connector and a dataset are ready for immediate use upon import.   
• OpenShift Support: Hyperscale Compliance can now be installed and hosted on an OpenShift cluster for Oracle, MSSQL, Parquet, and Delimited Connector data sources. In addition, multiple customization options have been added to leverage persistent volumes. 

• NFS Support for Parquet: The Parquet connector now supports using local storage as both a source and target for Parquet files. 
• Sharding support for MongoDB: The MongoDB connector now supports sharded MongoDB databases. 

• Parquet Support: Hyperscale Compliance now supports masking Parquet files. Note that the Hyperscale Orchestrater must be sized correctly to handle Parquet files. 

• Embedded XML/JSON: Applications increasingly store state as semi-structured data. To better cover these cases, masking XML and JSON content embedded in delimited files is now supported.  
• Hyperscale UI in Data Control Tower: Hyperscale Compliance users can now leverage the Hyperscale User Interface in Data Control Tower to manage hyperscale orchestrators, manage and execute hyperscale jobs, and monitor job progress.   

• MongoDB: MongoDB databases can now be masked with Hyperscale Compliance with horizontal-scale speed. 

• Delimited Files Connector: You can now use Hyperscale Compliance to mask collections of delimited files of your choice. This connector allows you to bring the horizontal, high-speed masking of Hyperscale Compliance to data outside of end-to-end supported database types.
