What's New in DataFlux Data Management Server

When you import objects that replace existing objects, you can now apply the permissions from the existing object to the new object. Simply select Retain permissions for replaced objects in the Import Location dialog box.

Objects, jobs, and services receive a default access control list (ACL) when they are added to the DataFlux Data Management Server. Prior to the 2.6 release, the default ACL received ALLOW or DENY permissions for the default groups PUBLIC and USERS. In the 2.6 release, the default ACL contains ALLOW or DENY permissions for lists of users and groups.

To implement this change, the configuration options DMSERVER/SECURE/DEFAULT_ACE_PUBLIC and DMSERVER/SECURE/DEFAULT_ACE_USERS have been superseded by the following new configuration options:

The superseded options are deprecated but still recognized in the 2.6 release.

To make batch and profile job logs more accessible to administrators and to the SAS Job Monitor, you can now specify a separate storage location for those log files. Specify the path to the job log directory as the value of the configuration option DMSERVER/JOB_LOGS_DIR.

When you run jobs with the dmpexec command, you can now configure the log files that are generated by those job runs.

You can now enable the capture of log data for the SOAP packets that are received and transmitted by the DataFlux Data Management Server. This change the removal of support for the configuration option DMSERVER/SOAP/LOG_PACKETS. The removed configuration option is no longer recognized by the server.

You can now set DMSERVER/SOAP/VALIDATE_XML_CHARS to YES to ensure that all output text strings from real-time data and process services contain only valid XML. Any control characters in the output text strings are replaced with question marks.
