Added MSSQL Ephemeral Database Support

For Microsoft SQL Server databases, a backup restore method is available that allows teams to create a temporary, or ephemeral, Ref DB for packaging changes. The packaging operation creates a copy of the first database in a pipeline. Scripts eligible for packaging apply to the copied database, and Enterprise destroys the copy at the end of the packaging operation.

For PostgreSQL databases, a backup restore method is available that allows teams to create a temporary, or ephemeral, Ref DB for packaging changes. The packaging operation creates a copy of the first database in a pipeline.

Info

If you have manually changed the java Java version used by DMC, you will need to restore DMC’s default version of Java (11.0.8) before any time that you upgrade DMC. Move or copy Java 11.0.8 from the /opt/datical/old_jre directory back to the /opt/datical/jre directory prior to before starting your DMC upgrade. DMC expects Java version 11.0.8 to be in the /opt/datical/jre directory for the DMC upgrade process to be successful. After completing your DMC upgrade is complete, you can change to a different 11.x java version again. For more information, see How to Change the Java version for DMC. This link is especially important vital if you are using v7.18 or later.
