Continued User Experience Improvements

  • Delphix now provides an end-to-end Provision VDB wizard that allows you to pick a dSource or VDB, choose a snapshot or point in time, then provision a VDB all within a single flow. The Data objects list has also been redesigned, making it easier for users to understand at a glance which datasets belong in which groups.

  • Job Sync: Users are able to specify the masking jobs they would like to synchronize, this includes all of the necessary connectors and rulesets. In addition, users are able to easily synchronize universal settings (including algorithms, domains, and more).

  • Masking APIs: In the 5.3 release, we have introduced APIs for Users & Roles and Algorithms. This builds on the Masking APIs for managing jobs, environments, profiling, etc. that were part of the 5.2 release.
