V2.12
Created: 2024-09-20
Fixed an issue where notifications would be dispatched even when no events were triggered
Instead of clearing the inbound sync state of a stream, users can now mark a stream for full refresh at the next run, which has the same effect but is more clear in its intent. When doing this, a choice is made as to whether the table is truncated or not.
If an existing inbound stream has its storage behaviour changed from Append to Merge, it will automatically be marked for full refresh with truncate at the next run.
A full refresh schedule may now be defined independently of the sync schedule, so that incremental syncs can have a full refresh performed occasionally. This is currently only configurable via a stored procedure but will feature more prominently in a future release.
Marking a stream for full refresh will cause any streams it depends to also perform a full refresh

Created: 2024-03-22
On the Syncs list, custom schedules now display the cron string without needing to hover on the help text
Inbound syncs no longer offer a choice of Incremental or Full Refresh unless you choose the Customize option. Instead, Auto mode will choose incremental where possible, and fall back on full refresh.

Created: 2024-03-17
After clearing state for an inbound sync, the table is truncated when applying the results for the next run
V1.60
Created: 2024-03-15
The "Append" inbound storage behaviour now only stores changed records, making it much more storage efficient when used with the Full Refresh strategy.
Inbound sync tables now contain a flag which indicates when the record has been deleted at the source. When using the Full Refresh strategy, this is maintained automatically via the absence of previous records.
Inbound sync tables now contain the run id that the most recent change for each record belongs to.
Plugins can now provide individual record deletions, and also deletions by criteria for inbound incremental syncs. This requires omnata-plugin-runtime version 0.3.15 or greater.
When processing results of inbound syncs at the end of the run, the engine will commit the data and latest state of each stream individually, so that if errors are encountered then progress is not lost.
When a sync runs for longer than its configured limit, it is assumed failed and can be re-ran. The previous run will be marked as failed when this occurs.
Sync run id is now included in event span attributes, to make it easier to filter event table queries
When comparing branch stream configurations, the stream state is no longer included in the comparison.
Fixed issue with Sync History tab where incomplete outbound syncs did not render correctly
