New Features in Version 2021.8

Data Access Control Enhancements

You can now open the Impact and Lineage Analysis dialog directly from the data access control start page or editor to understand the data entities on which your data access control depends (its lineage) and the objects that apply it (its impacts).

For more information, see Securing Data with Data Access Controls.

Tenant Link Configuration

You can link your SAP Data Warehouse Cloud tenant to your SAP Analytics Cloud tenant to enable the product switch.

For more information, see Review and Manage Links to SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Business Data Cloud Tenants.

System Administration Changes

You can now perform administration tasks directly in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, for which you previously had to use the product switch and go to the Analytics administration. In the side navigation area of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud, you can find all system administration tasks under  (System). Administration provides all system administration tasks that previously were available in Analytics only, and Configuration provides system administration tasks that have been available in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud before. Also, the About dialog moved under  (System).

For more information, see Administering SAP Datasphere.

Filtering Connection List

When your space contains a large list of connections in Space Management, filtering helps you to find the connections you're looking for. You can use the same filter categories and values in the connection list as in the creation wizard.

For more information, see Integrating Data via Connections.

Data Preview Enhancements

The Data Preview panel can now filter or sort on all the data contained or output by the object and the results are limited to the first 1,000 lines. In addition, a  (More)menu is now visible when you hover over a column header to indicate the availability of filters and sorting, and any currently applied filters are displayed above the table .

For more information, see Viewing Object Data.

You can now see a banner pointing you to information about new features when you open SAP Data Warehouse Cloud the first time after a new version has been deployed on your tenant. You can open the What's New at any time from the Home screen by clicking  (Help), switching on Toggle In-App Help and then clicking  ( What's New) in the help panel.
