Desktop Client Updates, CLI Updates, and Issues Addressed

Issue ID	Description

DAT-15634	Added a new property `internalRules.disabledDefaultRules` for the daticaldb.properties file which provides the ability to turn off Package and Forecast Rules for ModifyDataType and other internal rules.

DAT-17547	Added MSSQL ephemeral database support. See Configure Deployment Packager to Use a SQL Server Ephemeral Database
DAT-18096	Fixed an issue with the CLI showing an old license even though new license has been installed on the server. Licenses with 30 days or less remaining will now be replaced by any new license installation. See https://datical-cs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DDOC/pages/edit/896566463?draftId=901611521&draftShareId=82e7539c-fd9d-410b-bd18-c5c77d7bc30f&. (update link once published)
DAT-18447	Added PostgreSQL ephemeral database support. See Configure Deployment Packager to Use a PostgreSQL Ephemeral Database
DAT-18699	Increased the default Java Stack Size for CLI and GUI
DAT-18874	Fixed an issue with the MSSQL Integrated Security dlls shipped with Liquibase. The correct version is now included with the install and is version mssql-jdbc_auth-12.4.0.x64.dll (or mssql-jdbc_auth-12.4.0.x86.dll for 32-bit machines.) See Setting up Integrated Security for Active Directory for instructions on installing the dll.

SqlParser Issues Addressed

SqlParser issues apply to Oracle databases only.

Issue ID	Description
DAT-15854	Addressed an issue on the Forecast Report where the Table Impact Summary only reported the first drop of a multi-drop statement.
DAT-16944	Corrected an issue with multi-schema Oracle projects where DROP INDEX statements were failing with index does not exist errors when indexes referenced tables in another schema.

DMC Issues Addressed

Issue ID	Description

DAT-18536	Corrected an issue with sync operations for deleted pipelines where Packager operations had previously run on the deleted pipeline. Error addressed was: `ERROR: update or delete on table "dprj_environment" violates foreign key constraint "fk_dprj_packager_env_id" on table "dprj_deploy_packager"` This fix does not require a DMC update, but rather an update to the GUI or CLI to version 8.8.

Liquibase Enterprise & Business Clients (Datical DB) and DMC Compatibility

Each DMC release only works with certain releases of Liquibase Enterprise Desktop. Consult the Deployment Monitoring Console Compatibility Matrix to ensure compatibility.

Getting Started with the Deployment Monitoring Console

To get started with DMC, check out the following documentation resources:
- DMC Documentation Home
- DMC Install Configurations and System Requirements

DMC Update Instructions

The process of updating the Deployment Monitoring Console to the latest version is similar to the installation process.

Expand for DMC update instructions

Go to https://download.liquibase.com/ , download and copy the datical-service-unix-<version>-master.sh file to your existing DMC server.
Run the installer with the following command and enter your existing OS user as the admin user and admin group:

/home/datical> sudo bash /datical-service-unix-<version>-master.sh

Enter the directory of the previous DMC installation when prompted for an install location.

The installer will update your installation and restart affected DMC services. You can begin using the new version of the DMC immediately.

If you have manually changed the 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 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 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 if you are using v7.18 or later.
