With this release, TIBCO Scribe® Online Replication Solutions can take advantage of Bulk Processing if the associated target Connectors support this functionality, which now includes the SQL and MySQL Connectors.  This feature speeds up the performance of both the initial replication and subsequent synchronizations. 

See the following Knowledge Base article for steps to use Replication Solution Connections in Integration Solutions: Metadata For Integration Solution Not Loaded

As part of this new feature set, we have made great strides to improve how Replication Services (RS) notifies users about any issues processing data.  Previously there was no mechanism to properly report some types of issues to the TIBCO Scribe® Online Platform.  At the same time we also addressed new and existing issues specific to the Connectors being used.  Any defects associated with a specific Connector are listed in the Release Notes for that Connector.

 

Enabling Bulk Processing For Existing Replication Solutions

To enable bulk processing for existing Replication Solutions, make a change to each Solution and save it. The change can be as simple as modifying the description.

Enhancements

The update to TIBCO Scribe® Online includes the following enhancements and addressed issues:

Platform

Replication Solutions

  • If the target Connection in the Replication Solution supports Bulk operations, then Batch Processing is used automatically when the Solution executes to enhance performance. (50472)
NOTE: To enable bulk processing for existing Replication Solutions, make a change to the Solution and save it. The change can be as simple as modifying the description.
 
  • When a record error is encountered, the Replication Solution skips that record and continues to execute. (50472)
NOTE: To reprocess records with errors, modify the data in the source again. This updates the datetime field forcing the record to be replicated in the target datastore the next time the Replication Solution executes. If you do not modify source data, the records with errors are skipped during subsequent Replication Solution executions.
 
  • Metadata is automatically reset for both source and target Connections any time a Replication Solution is created or modified to ensure that any schema changes or new entities are available for replication, which may cause a brief delay when opening the Solution. (51681)
  • Enhanced error handling for exceptions to generate a Fatal Error and provide more detailed information in Execution History. (52935)

API

  • Added two Agent endpoints used to retrieve On-Premise Agent log files: (55143)
    • POST /v1/orgs/{orgId}/agents/{agentId}/logs
    • GET /v1/orgs/{orgId}/agents/{agentId}/logs/{logId}
  • Added a checkForBulk parameter to enable Bulk Processing for a Replication Solution if the associated target Connector supports Bulk operations. The default value is false. This parameter is available for the following API endpoints: (51330)
  • POST /v1/orgs/{orgId}/solutions
  • PUT /v1/orgs/{orgId}/solutions/{solutionId}
  • PUT /v1/orgs/{orgId}/solutions/{solutionId}/schedule

 

Addressed Issues

Replication Solutions

  • In some cases, entity descriptions did not display on the Replication Solution Selected Entities page. (51972)

Execution History

  • Exporting errors from the Execution History Details dialog was not displaying the Save dialog, preventing completion of the export. (54921, 54979 / Case # 61981)

Connectors

  • The Microsoft Dynamics 365 / CRM Connection dialog did not display the Home Realm URL field when the Partner-Hosted (IFD) Deployment Type was selected. (54821, 54839 / Case # 62027)
  • When using the Text Connector some users could not create connections to Dropbox or OneDrive accounts.  (55379, 55382 / # Case 62147)
  • When a custom delimiter was selected on the Entities tab of the Text Connector dialog, the additional field to enter the delimiter did not display. (55973, 56046 / Case # 62408)
