What’s New

Snowflake Change Data Capture

Snowflake support was expanded to include change data capture using Snowflake’s table streams. New configuration items were added for converting relational data into JSON documents suitable for Snowflake. Table groups identify which tables to send together in the JSON document, so that a change in one table will bring related rows into the document. Table group hierarchies arrange the tables into a parent-child hierarchy using relational join information.

SingleStore Replication

SingleStore database was added as a bi-directional replication platform. Change data capture is based on log mining of SingleStore’s audit log.

MySQL Log-based Replication

MySQL support was expanded to include log mining in additional to trigger-based change capture. It is based on parsing statements from the binlog provided by MySQL 5.0 and newer.

Amazon S3 Integration

Amazon S3 can now be used as a target endpoint for receiving change data as comma-separated value (CSV) files. Amazon Web Services (AWS), such as Relational Database Services (RDS), Lambda, and Cloud Watch have integration with S3 to use data for loading databases, driving business logic, and monitoring data events.

SQL Server BCP Bulk Loader

The bulk loader for SQL-Server is now based on the BCP (bulk copy program) command line utility. The BCP automatically handles transfer of data files to a remote server, which supports both SQL Server and Azure SQL Server.

UI Improvements

The web console was enhanced to improve the user’s flow of connecting to databases, enabling change capture, and sending initial loads. Notification messages for data replication events can be customized with a screen that edits a notification template. Screens now support renaming the ID of an item being edited or using a “Save As Copy” button to copy it as a new item. Screens for table triggers and table routing were modified to use JDBC batch mode for faster save performance. New user settings include display mode, preferred date and time format, and timezone.

Operational Improvements

For large deployments, new endpoints can be scheduled to register automatically. Registration works across push links, in addition to pull links. Initial loads can now be monitored at the endpoint with the same level of detail that was previously only available at the source. Creation of tables now includes fractional second precision of time and timestamp columns. Routing query performance was improved when a large number of gaps is present. SQL-Server and Sybase trigger procedures were optimized for the case of a primary key changing, and a parameter of trigger.use.insert.delete.for.primary.key.changes was added to revert to the old behavior.

Parameters

The following changes were made to add new parameters, modify their default value, modify their description, or remove them from use.

New Parameters

as400.journal.library (Pro)

The library that contains the journal for log based capture on the AS400 (Default: SYM)

as400.journal.name (Pro)

cloud.bulk.field.terminator

The cloud based terminator used in bulk loading to separate each field (Default: |)

cloud.bulk.row.terminator

The cloud based terminator used in bulk loading to be used for a new row (Default: )

conflict.default.pk.with.fallback

When enabled, the default conflict detection uses the primary key and the resolution uses fallback, which was the original default in version 3.11 and older. This is a convenient way to go back to the old default without having to configure a conflict on each group link. (Default: false)

console.auto.create.table.group.hiers.depth.limit (Pro)

The maximum depth that the Auto Create Table Group Hierarchies dialog will go to when searching for child tables. (Default: 5)

console.auto.create.table.group.hiers.table.limit (Pro)

The maximum number of child tables that the Auto Create Table Group Hierarchies dialog will search for. (Default: 25)

data.create_time.timezone (Pro)

The timezone to use for create_time in the data table, e.g. +00:00. By default, when this is not set, trigger templates will normally call a now() type function. (Default: )

data.flush.jdbc.batch.size

Flush size for JDBC batch mode used by services to save configuration. (Default: 10000)

dataloader.create.table.without.defaults.on.error

If set to true, when a table creation fails on a database platform that is different than the source database, try to create the table without default values. (Default: true)

dataloader.ignore.sql.event.errors

Indicate that the data loader should ignore errors while loading a SQL event and the execution of the statement fails. (Default: false)

dataloader.log.sql.params.on.error

Indicate that the data loader should log SQL parameter values when a batch fails, which can be helpful for debugging. Since SQL parameters will contain application data, some sites may need to turn this off for policy compliance. (Default: true)

default.values.to.leave.unquoted

A list of default values in CSV format that should not be quoted when synchronized from another node. (Default: )

default.values.to.translate

A list of pairs of default values in CSV format that tells SymmetricDS to translate the first value to the second value when synchronized from another node. (Default: )

initial.load.reload.select.override (Pro)

If set overrides the reload_select of the row in sym_table_reload_request when sending a load via the Load Data Wizard. (Default: )

log.miner.mysql.directory (Pro)

Specifies the name and path for the directory that contains MySQL’s binary log files. When blank, SymmetricDS will use each log file’s path as it appears in MySQL’s binary log index file. (Default: )

log.miner.mysql.index (Pro)

Specifies the name and path for MySQL’s binary log index file. When blank, SymmetricDS will use MySQL’s log_bin_index system variable. (Default: )

mssql.auto.create.trigger.options (Pro)

When auto-creating table triggers, some options will be detected and applied for the user, such as excluding ROWVERSION columns. (Default: true)

mssql.bulk.load.bcp.cmd

Specifies the path to the SQL Server bulk copy program utility (bcp) executable. (Default: )

mssql.bulk.load.use.bcp

Enables the use of the SQL Server bulk copy program utility (bcp) as the bulk loader. (Default: false)

mssql.use.varchar.for.lob.in.sync

Use varchar(max) or nvarchar(max) when a column in SymmetricDS tables is set to long or nlong. This is for example necessary when using a _UTF8 of _SC collation. (Default: false)

opensearch.load.aws.access.key

The AWS secret access key (aws_secret_access_key) to use as credentials for uploading to S3 (Default: )

opensearch.load.aws.secret.key

The AWS secret access key (aws_secret_access_key) to use as credentials for uploading to S3 (Default: )

purge.snapshot.file.retention.minutes (Pro)

This is the retention time for how long support snapshot files will be retained (Default: 14400)

registration.auto.create.group.link

When this is set to true a group link will be created by default between two groups even if the user does not explicitly set one up. (Default: true)

registration.push.config.allowed

When group link is configured to push to clients, allow registration to work over push. Useful when client cannot reach server, so server pushes registration to client. (Default: true)

routing.data.reader.use.multiple.queries

Routing reader may run multiple queries for data, with each query including the maximum number of data gaps as specified by the routing.max.gaps.to.qualify.in.sql parameter. This method attempts to use the table’s index for quick results and avoid wasting time on filtering rows that were already routed (as used by the greater.than.query method). (Default: true)

routing.max.batch.size.exceed.percent

The percentage of the channel’s max batch size that a batch can exceed when seeking a transaction boundary using the default batch algorithm. Use zero to indicate that the batch size can grow as large as needed to include the complete transaction. For example, a setting of 100 percent with a channel’s max batch size of 1000 allows a batch size of 2000 to be routed before it will be forced as complete. This setting protects from a large transaction that causes batch sizes that far exceed the channel’s max size and have trouble loading on the target database. (Default: 100)

single.store.audit.log.dir (Pro)

The path to the auditlogs dir for SingleStore (Default: /var/lib/memsql/{cluster-id}/auditlogs)

snapshot.max.batches

Max number of batches to write to statistics listing for support snapshot. (Default: 10000)

snapshot.max.files

Max number of files to write in directory listing for support snapshot. (Default: 50000)

snapshot.max.node.channels

Max number of nodes and channels for batch statistics, after which it will group by node only. (Default: 5000)

snapshot.operation.timeout.ms

Max time for a snapshot operation to complete, such as gathering table definitions, before it will be interrupted so the snapshot completes in a reasonable amount of time. (Default: 30000)

spatial.data.types.enabled

Determines if spatial data type functions will be installed. By default they will be installed but can be set to false to not install the additional spatial functions if they are not needed. (Default: true)

sync.triggers.fix.duplicate.active.trigger.histories

Whether or not duplicate active trigger histories will be detected and fixed so that the most recent will end up being the only active trigger history. (Default: true)

sync.triggers.reg.svr.install.without.config

Whether or not sync triggers job will install triggers on a registration server before configuration is created. When true, triggers are installed as soon as possible, right after configuration tables are created. When false, triggers are installed when the configuration includes one or more group links where this node is the source. A default of true avoids race conditions associated with registering nodes and performing operations before configuration is complete and triggers are installed. (Default: true)

trigger.capture.ddl.check.trigger.hist

Disable this property to capture all DDL changes regardless of whether the associated table has a corresponding row in sym_trigger_hist. MS SQL-Server, Oracle and Postgres only. See: trigger.capture.ddl.changes (Default: true)

trigger.use.insert.delete.for.primary.key.changes

For Sybase and SQL Server, if a primary key is changed, this parameter determines if a delete followed by an insert is captured for the row change instead of an update. When set to true, an update will be created if no primary keys are changed or if only one row is changed when a primary key change occurs, otherwise a delete followed by an insert is created for each row updated when a primary key change occurs and more than one row is updated by the SQL statement. If set to false, it will always create an update. This parameter, when changed, requires a restart of the SymmetricDS instance, followed by a rebuild of the triggers. (Default: true)

Modified Parameters

treat.binary.as.lob.enabled

Whether binary fields should be treated as lobs (Old Default: true) (New Default: false)
