Released November 25, 2024

New features:

  • New database connection management feature makes it easier to save and manage a large number of database connections, and switch between database environments such as QA, dev or production.

  • Improved query conversion by adding the option to use strongly-typed Java entities in the signatures of converted queries.

  • Added support for converting Oracle packages and SQL Server functions in query converter.

  • Added support for the latest Postgres 17 and MySQL 8.4/9.0 database versions.

  • Improved support for connecting to Oracle pluggable databases (PDBs).

  • Added support to "Bring Your Own LLM" using a customer-managed LLM service for AI code generation instead of the default MongoDB-hosted service.

  • Temporarily disabled the ability to select Atlas clusters from a list when signed in with an Atlas account

Released October 2, 2024

New features:

  • New bulk conversion UI and API for Query Converter to automatically convert large numbers of SQL queries, views, and stored procedures. See Bulk Conversion.

  • Snapshot jobs now create top-level documents using a non-idempotent bulk insert method. This improves performance.

  • Added explicit control over idempotent behavior through the migrator.engine.transform.idempotency: true setting in the user.properties file.

  • Internal indexes used for migration are automatically deleted after job completion. This improves performance.

  • Updated SQL Server JDBC driver to the latest version.

  • Simplified the structure of Java POJO classes in Code Generation.

Bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where tables were deselected for import into a project after filtering the table list.

  • Fixed a UI issue with the Migration Job Log which prevented it from being resized when it contained a large number of entries.

  • Fixed an issue where remote API calls such as query conversions were not routed through the system proxy.

  • Fixed an issue where individual rows exceeding the 16MB document limit caused the job to stop immediately, instead of continuing up to the error threshold.

  • Fixed an issue where data verification was unable to detect some issues caused by precision differences between source and target data types.

  • Fixed an issue where each query could be imported twice.

  • Fixed an issue where converted queries sometimes used incorrect paths for embedded mappings.

Released August 20, 2024

New features:

  • Query Converter now allows you to test your relational and converted queries and compare the results in the Test Queries pane.

  • DB2 LUW database support is now in Public Preview. Users interested in DB2 LUW and mainframe (DB2 for i) support, please contact your MongoDB account representative for full details or a guided evaluation.

  • SQL Server connections now default to trust server certificate. This setting can be unchecked in the SSL tab.

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where connectors failed to upload when starting migration jobs using Confluent Cloud.

  • Fixed an issue where migration jobs failed to start for Postgres databases when the credentials were supplied with query string parameters.

  • Fixed an issue where multiple synthetic foreign keys between the same tables were not treated as a composite key.

  • Fixed an issue where the migration job dialog indicated that the database was not ready if the preflight test failed to run.

  • Fixed an issue where query files were not deleted when projects were deleted.

  • Fixed an issue where queries could not be imported from a Postgres database when connected as a user who is not the owner.

New features:

  • New conditional mapping rules for more advanced transformations:

    • Mapping rule filters to include or exclude documents based on a custom Javascript expression.

  • Improved stored procedure conversion for Postgres and MySQL database by adding procedure headers.

  • Fixed an issue where it was not possible to import queries from Oracle databases where the schema or database name contained dots.

  • Fixed an issue where generated Java POJO classes used incorrect types for date-typed fields.

  • Fixed an issue where verification could be aborted for schemas with composite keys when some key fields are excluded.

  • Fixed an issue where jobs stall without progress if no tables for the schema were found in the source database.
