MicroStrategy OCF Connector: Version 1.2.0

Fixed Issues

Unable to Catalog Folders for Duplicated Projects

The connector fails to catalog folders and its objects if the project is created using duplication.

This issue is now resolved. (AL-171816)

Note

As part of the fix Alation has introduced a change in the curation. A curation migration script to migrate the curation data is now available.

From Alation version 2024.3.4 and connector version 1.2.0 and higher, the connector automatically executes the curation migration script as part of subsequent MDE runs.

For Alation versions 2024.3.4 and earlier, and if the connector version is 1.2.0 or higher, you must manually execute the curation migration script to restore any required missing curation data. After upgrading the connector to version 1.2.0 or higher, run MDE before executing the curation migration script. For more information, see Upgrade MicroStrategy OCF Connector to Version 1.2.0 and Migrate from Native MicroStrategy to OCF.
