Release Notes v9.8

What's new?

• Create CONVERT TEXT TO DATE USING AUTOMATIC DATE FORMAT DETECTION pattern, which casts a text field as a date by intelligently detecting the date format of the cell and dynamically applying that date mask for data type conversion. Unrecognized date formats will default to null; user can opt for unrecognized dates to error.

What improvements have been made to existing features?

• Support negative Mask Start Characters for import objects. If the Mask Start Character is negative, it will be presumed to be counting backwards from the end of the filename.
• Added Import Module Manifest to the Search Logs screen in Metadata Manager, which will show the full disposition of module imports, including an enumeration of the assets which were not imported. Only module imports executed after this release of Ursa Studio is in effect will be shown.

What's been fixed?

• Fortify Snowflake connections to handle 8+ hour wait times between queries.
• Honor post-load-only and validation-only radio button options for bespoke model objects during ELT restart.
