Upgrade to Java 11 Coming Soon
v7.18 is the last release to ship with Java 8. Future versions will ship with and require Java 11. If your installation uses a different JRE than the one bundled with Liquibase Enterprise, you will need to update this to Java 11 prior to installing future versions.
Deprecation of the Oracle Accelerator JDBC Driver
Because of a change in deployment trends and continued improvement of the performance of Datical DB, the Oracle Accelerator JDBC Driver (compression driver) was removed from our driver repository in versions 7.16 and higher. The driver was previously available with versions 7.15 and lower.
Deprecation of the “Deployer” License
v7.18 will be the last release to support the Deployer license type. If you are using this type of license to use the Desktop Client, you will need to upgrade to an Admin license prior to installing future versions. To see which license you have installed, go to File → License Manager.
Notable Changes
DATAPUMP Optimization: DAT-9580
In Liquibase v7.18 the default backup method (BackupRestoreOracleDatapump) used by packager for Oracle databases is optimized. The code was modified to capture log output more efficiently. This may result in significant performance gains when backing up Oracle REFDBs containing a large number of objects.
Issues Addressed
Issue ID | Description |
DAT-10517 DAT-10508 DAT-10708 | Fixed the rollback issue that affected MSSQL storedlogic changes when rolling back to a previously deployed version. |
DAT-10342 DAT-2731 | Fixed the issue on Windows causing Packager to fail when committing files to DDB repo because the filename or extension was too long. Most often this occurred after a branch merge containing hundreds of files. |
DAT-10290 | Fixed the issue causing SqlPlus SP2-0341 errors to be ignored. This caused the deploy report to show success when there was an error running the script. |
DAT-10281 | Fixed the issue causing certain comments in SQL scripts to be evaluated by Rules when they should be ignored. |
DAT-10238 | Fixed the issue in the Liquibase Enterprise Desktop Client edit connection dialog that enabled the password field even when runtimeCredentials=true. |
DAT-10191 | Fixed the issue with Azure SQL DB while using active Directory Password Authentication with an untrusted certificate. |
DAT-10131 DAT-10105 DAT-10247 DAT-10246 | Fixed the packager pipeline and feature merge issues. If the checksum does not match anything previously packaged or if if the changeSet related to the file in the archive is not found at all, a warning notifies the user and packager continues processing. |
DAT-9412 | Fixed the issue that caused packager backups to fail when an Oracle database had transparent data encryption enabled. |
DAT-9289 | Fixed the packaging failure that occurred when using sql_direct to package a MSSQL procedure. |
DAT-9244 | Added the ability to log output from a SELECT statement executed using a DB2 JDBC connection by a sqlFile change type. |
DAT-9120 | Fixed the issue causing a prompt for username and password when clicking Test Connection while configured to use Integrated Security. |
DAT-7830 | Fixed the DMC deadlock issue that occurred when multiple deployments are simultaneously in progress to the same pipeline. |
DAT-2588 | GUI: In the Status Details tab, the user would sometimes need to scroll to see the buttons. This has been resolved. |
Known Issues
Stored Logic State
In release 7.13 and later, we discovered that existing stored logic was in an UNKNOWN state on a Deploy report, which caused deployment to fail. We have reviewed desired behavior and will implement a storedLogicValidityAction to warn, not error, when pre-existing objects that are not part of the deployment show changes from Valid to Invalid. (DAT-9156)
Limited Forecast does not include autoSynonymForObjects changeset schemas in profiling
In release 7.13 and later, if you use Limited Forecast in Oracle multi-schema projects with auto synonyms, you might get errors about the schema targeted by an auto synonym change being for a schema that cannot be managed, even though that schema is included in the project definition. If you encounter such errors with version 7.18, use Full Forecast instead of Limited Forecast. (DAT-8757)
Missing SSH Preferences in Liquibase Enterprise & Business GUI
After upgrading Datical DB to later versions, you might have issues with the SSH feature being unavailable to generate the SSH key via the Eclipse GUI. To return SSH in Preferences, follow these steps:
In the Datical DB GUI, select Help > Install New Software.
In the Work with field of the Install dialog box, paste in this link: https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2018-12 then hit enter.
Expand open the Collaboration category.
Enable the checkbox to select Git integration for Eclipse, and then select Next to install it.
When it finishes installing, you will be prompted to restart.
Open File > Preferences > General > Network Connections. You should now have a new SSH2 option under Network Connections.
Liquibase Enterprise & Business cannot pick up SQLPATH environment variable on Windows
In release 7.6 and later, we updated the version of instantclient, which provides SQLPLUS 12.2.0.1.0. This version of SQLPLUS contains a bug: SQL PLUS 12.2 NOT OBSERVING SQLPATH IN REGISTRY OR ENV VARIABLE FOR LOGIN.SQL. As a workaround, use SQLPLUS 12.1 on Windows. (DAT-7598)
