  • Record duplication while using connector concurrently.

  • Added metadata fields:

    • canTruncateValue - Indicates whether to truncate a value when the value exceeds the precision. The default is true. canTruncateValue Boolean No: if true, truncates the value. If false, the row is rejected.

      Example: "canTruncateValue": true

    • decimalSeparator - For numeric fields only. The character that separates digits in a decimal number. Can be used to handle international number formats where the decimal separator is “,”. The default is “.”.

      Example: decimalSeparator String No "decimalSeparator": ","

    • isYearEndFiscalYear - For date fields only. Indicates whether the fiscal year is the year in which the fiscal year ends or begins. Because the fiscal year can start in one isYearEndFiscalYear Boolean No calendar year and end in another, specify which year to use for the fiscal year. If true, then the fiscal year is the year in which the fiscal year ends. The default is true. If false, then the fiscal year is the year in which the fiscal year begins.

      Example: "isYearEndFiscalYear": true - This field is relevant only when fiscalMonthOffset is greater than 0.

    • firstDayOfWeek - For date fields only. The first day of the week for the calendar year and, if applicable, fiscal year. Use 0 to set the first day to be Sunday, 1 to set firstDayOfWeek Number No the first day to be Monday, and so on. Use -1 to set the first day to be January 1. The default is -1.

      Example: "firstDayOfWeek": 0 - See also Date Handling in Datasets.

    • isSkipped - Indicates whether to skip the field when the data is uploaded. Example: isSkipped Boolean No "isSkipped": true

  • Made security token field optional for basic authentication.

    The connector was enforcing the use of a security token even though it was optional.
