We have slightly changed the layout of the transformation detail (sections moved to tabs) and added an Overview graph.
The graph shows the data flow around the current transformation, including all required transformations, input/output tables and transformations from the same bucket, that work with any of the tables as the current transformation. This allows you to get a bird's eye view on what you're working with.
The difference between this and Visual SQL (or SQLdep) is that Visual SQL goes deeper in the transformation and analyses the queries, whereas Overview shows you the environment around the transformation.
On January 17th, 2015 we will perform scheduled upgrade of our meta-data servers. This will cause a maintenance window from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm (GMT+1), or 5:00am to 6:00am (PST).
During the maintenance, you can't access your data. All network connections will be terminated by "HTTP 503 - down for maintenance" status message.
All running tasks will be monitored by us and restarted in case of any interruption. Orchestrations and running transformations will be generally delayed, but not interrupted. However, feel free to re-schedule your saturday's orchestrations to avoid this maintenance window.
There's a direct link to GoodData LDM Visualizer in the model page in GoodData Writer. So in a single click you can compare what is defined in Keboola Connection and what has been already uploaded to GoodData and how the model is interpreted.
We're now showing bucket and transformation descriptions in the UI. Currently there's no way to change the bucket description - it is defined setup when the bucket is created, but we're working on a way to make them editable. Transformation descriptions can be changed easily in the transformation detail
Due to a possible significant inconsistency in real and estimated number of rows (and table sizes) on the MySQL Storage backend which could lead to data loss when editing the data sample, we turned off the data sample editing for all IN and OUT MySQL buckets. SYS buckets are fully editable and will always show and edit all available rows.
Redshift works as expected - editing is allowed for all tables if they contain less than 800 cells (excluding headers).
We have released a new version of Transformation API. See the changelog here. In a case of a major issue, we'll roll back to the previous version.
If you encouter any problems, please contact us at support@keboola.com.
Several projects may have experienced errors in extractor jobs processing. Database, Zendesk, Google drive and some other extractors were affected. Issue is resolved now and we are investigation the cause of the issue.
We have restarted failed or waiting jobs. We're sorry for any inconvenience!
Configure database extractor to extract data from PostgreSQL database.
We'll be releasing updated version of the Transformation API (and accordingly modified UI) later this week. Changes will include:
More reliability, durability and scalability of both UI and API.
You can monitor all transformation jobs in the Jobs app, processing jobs will show detailed
It will provide you a link to the job detail instead.
Sandbox jobs will keep the window with the details, though.
We're providing you with enough power to process your data. If you want to run transformations on your own database servers, please contact support@keboola.com.
May sound weird, but it is. You were allowed to run disabled transformation from the transformation detail in the UI.
If you want to separate a transformation, set it to a different phase or migrate it to another bucket.
If you want to make sure everything works fine in your project, you can try it out. The new UI is available and is connected to the new version of API in the Applications app.
You can try running certain transformations, create sandboxes etc. If you want to try the new API within an orchestration, you need to change manually the component name in the configuration table (sys.c-orchestrator.*) from transformation to transformation-new.
In the Orchestrations UI the task name will show Transformations (EA Preview).
When your testing is done, please reset the value back to transformation.
Stay updated for the release date and please report all bugs and concerns to support@keboola.com.
