|
| 07/23/2021 | 7874 | General | Changed
- Updated the Literal Function Names for relative date/datetime functions. Previously, relative date/datetime functions resolved to a different value when used in the projection as opposed to the predicate. For example: SELECT LAST_MONTH() AS lm, Col FROM Table WHERE Col > LAST_MONTH(). Formerly, the two LAST_MONTH() methods would resolve to different datetimes. Now, they will match.
- As a replacement for the previous behavior, the relative date/datetime functions in the criteria may have an 'L' appended to them. For example: WHERE col > L_LAST_MONTH(). This will continue to resolve to the same values that were previously calculated in the criteria. Note that the "L_" prefix will only work in the predicate - it not available for the projection.
|
| 07/21/2021 | 7872 | Excel | Removed

|
| 07/06/2021 | 7857 | Excel | Added

| 04/13/2021 | 7773 | ServiceNow | Changed
- The OneLogin method we used previously has been deprecated by OneLogin.

The APIKey that was formerly passed in through SSOProperties for OneLogin is removed.
- OneLogin also no longer uses SSOLoginURL. Instead, Subdomain and AppId should be specified inside the SSOProperties.
|
| 03/24/2021 | 7753 | ServiceNow | Deprecated
