WhereScape 3D 9.0.4 Now Available: Integrate with Microsoft Purview

We are excited to announce the release of WhereScape 3D Version 9.0.4, which is packed with new enhancements, highlighted by the integration with Microsoft Purview. Additional features include advanced data profiling for custom connections, Pebble extensions for profiling and more! Let’s explore the enhancements and how they can benefit your data management strategy.

Seamless Microsoft Purview Integration

The highlight of Version 9.0.4 is the seamless integration with Microsoft Purview. Microsoft Purview is one of the world’s most popular data governance solutions, which unifies and manages data across on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. It enables users to catalog, discover, and govern data, ensuring security, compliance, and transparency. Now connected with WhereScape, data management teams can import metadata directly from Purview into WhereScape 3D using Purview’s own API. Here’s how this integration can streamline your data management:

• Metadata Import: With just a click of the Purview button, you can select and import the metadata you need from Microsoft Purview into WhereScape 3D. This ensures your metadata is always current and readily available, allowing you to maintain a consistent and up-to-date data environment.
• User-Friendly Interface: Connecting to Microsoft Purview is straightforward. Simply enter your Purview account details, such as service principal credentials, directly into the WhereScape 3D repository settings. This integration is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible, and for users who do not require this feature, the integration settings can be hidden, simplifying the interface and enhancing user experience.

This integration significantly reduces the time and effort required to manage metadata, enabling your team to focus on more strategic tasks.

Advanced Data Profiling for Custom Connections

Understanding your data is crucial, and our new profiling script type makes this process more powerful than ever. This enhancement supports data sourcing from semi-structured data sources and REST APIs, expanding your data profiling capabilities. 

• New Profiling Script Type: Perform data profiling on custom connections, extending support for semi-structured data sources and REST APIs. This allows you to profile data from a wider range of sources, providing you with a comprehensive understanding of your data landscape.
• Enhanced Token Replacement: Profiling scripts can now use the same environment variables and token replacements as browse and workflow scripts, making the profiling process consistent and flexible. This feature ensures that your profiling scripts integrate seamlessly with your existing workflows, enhancing efficiency and reducing the potential for errors.
• Encryption: All profiling results are securely encrypted when stored in the WhereScape 3D metadata repository, ensuring your data’s privacy and integrity. This added layer of security gives you peace of mind, knowing that your sensitive data is protected.

By expanding data profiling capabilities, WhereScape 3D Version 9.0.4 empowers you to gain deeper insights into your data, leading to more informed decisions and better data management strategies.

Pebble Extensions for Profiling

WhereScape 3D Version 9.0.4 introduces enhanced Pebble template functionality, allowing for deeper insights and more informed decisions with access to historical data profiling versions.

• Access to Previous Profiling Versions: Gain a historical perspective by accessing previous data profiling versions within Pebble templates. This feature allows you to track changes and trends in your data over time, helping you optimize your data models and strategies. By understanding how your data has evolved, you can make more informed decisions and improve your data management practices.
• Detailed Profiling Metrics: Profiling metrics can be printed at table, column, and relationship levels, providing a comprehensive view of data characteristics over time. This granular level of detail helps you understand your data at a deeper level, enabling more precise and effective data management. With these insights, you can identify patterns, anomalies, and opportunities for optimization within your data.

These enhancements to Pebble templates not only provide you with valuable historical data insights but also enable you to make smarter, data-driven decisions that can drive your business forward.

Enhanced Stability and Performance

This update addresses various issues identified in previous versions, ensuring a smoother and more reliable user experience. Here’s what you can expect from the enhanced stability and performance in Version 9.0.4:

• Stability and Performance: Trust WhereScape 3D to deliver consistent, high-performance results every time. Our team has worked diligently to address any stability issues, ensuring that you can rely on WhereScape 3D for your critical data management tasks.
• Clear and Organized Profiling Metrics: We’ve refined the display of profiling metrics, ensuring that pair value profiling metrics, such as ‘Top 10 most frequent values,’ are in the extended profiling metrics section rather than the main table. This organization makes it easier to analyze and act on your data insights, saving you time and effort.
• Improved Metrics Display: The profiling result details table has been refined to ensure that key metrics are clearly displayed and easily accessible. This improvement makes it simpler to interpret your profiling results and take action based on your findings.
