Support for SAP HANA Database
The GoodData platform can now work with the SAP HANA database.
If you are using SAP HANA for transforming data before it is loaded to your project, you can enable support for SAP HANA in CloudConnect. For more information, see Enable Support of SAP HANA in CloudConnect.
Licensing in Data Warehouse
We have introduced licenses in Data Warehouse. The license determines what services and functions a user can and cannot use on the Data Warehouse instance that the license belongs to.
The license can be one of the following levels:
- Standard license covers the features that are described in the GoodData online help (with the known limitations).
- Premium license permits use of all the features that the Standard license covers plus the spatial functions (in the provided scope).
The license level is now present in a Data Warehouse instance's details when returned via API.
PROFILE and EXPLAIN Commands for Read-only Users
Read-only users of Data Warehouse can now execute EXPLAIN and PROFILE commands upon a read-only query.
EXPLAIN read-only_query
PROFILE read-only_query

Project and User Staging Links
Changes in GoodData architecture results in slightly different links for project and user staging:
- Links to user staging are accessible under /gdc resource
- Links to project staging are accessible under path /gdc/projects/{pid}.
There should be no change in links for current customers. Please note that this should have no impact on use.

Upcoming API Updates
We are going to remove the /gdc/md/project_id/dashboard API resource as it does not provide any functionality and is not used anymore.
No changes are needed on your side.
No impact on your API configuration is expected.
When this change happens, we will post a separate announcement.
Reminder: Add Mandatory User-Agent Header to API Request
Starting from March 31, 2018, the GoodData REST API will require every API request to contain the User-Agent header. Any API request without the User-Agent header made after March 31, 2018, will be rejected.
The User-Agent header must be in the following format:product/version (your_email@example.com)
where:
-- product is your product name; can include your company name; must not contain spaces or slashes ( / )
-- version is your product version; must not contain spaces or slashes ( / )
-- your_email@example.com is the email of the contact person responsible for the product in your company. The email is optional if you have specified your company name in product.
Examples:Insights-Provisioner/1.0 (gd_integration_person@acme.com)
Acme-Company-GDIntegration/0.9
Action needed:
If you use a tool for handling API calls or a custom library for integrating with the GoodData REST API, update them to include the User-Agent header in every API request.
Although the API change is planned for the next year, we strongly recommend that you do so as soon as possible.
If you have any question, please contact GoodData Support.
