Version: 4.16.0.2119
Release Date: June 3, 2020
SkySync platform version 4.16 was available on June 3, 2020. This release focused on adding new platforms to the SkySync connector offerings, expanding functionality of the LDAP integrations, and improving job creation. The release contains several other beneficial new features and enhancements. Learn more about the release below. For detailed information about individual items, refer to the SkySync Platform Documentation Center.
New Connectors
SkySync now offers integration with the following platforms. You can learn more about each connector in the SkySync Platform Documentation Center.
New Features and Enhancements
You can now select the authentication type used when creating a SharePoint connector. This eliminates the need to do a separate REST API call to apply the authentication type. Learn more here.
REST API calls can now be made to query the LDAP configuration being used for a connection. Learn more here.
Several enhancement were made to simplify job creation. The enhancements include:
The delete policy information that displays in the user interface when creating a job has been edited to more acutely reflect the behavior for each policy.
The user interface now only displays delete policy options that are applicable to the job type selected (copy, sync, etc.) when creating the job.
The Permission preservation page when creating a job will only display the User and group mapping section when you select either Preserve Item Ownership and/or Preserve Item Permission. Otherwise, the section remains hidden.
You can now set character sanitation to use URL encoding. The feature can only be turned on through a REST API call. When on, the feature replaces restricted characters in file and folder names with URL encoded characters rather than underscores. This can be set in the global configuration options or in the job options.
Filters can now be applied to narrow the results of the Transfer Level Permission report pulled through a REST API call. Learn more here.
Additional options are available when creating user and group maps. Learn more here.
Fixes
Since Reports can only be generated for Transfer or Simulation jobs, Job Type was removed as a filter option in the Reports Jobs list.
Enabling FiddlerCore no longer disconnects connectors.
For folder mapping jobs with ShareFile as the source, there was an issue that caused the paths to be altered when the child jobs were run. This issue has been resolved.
All users now display so you can create user maps for the OpenText connector.
Changes were made to prevent empty multi-row text fields in the OpenText connector.
