We are happy to announce that Fabric 8.2.0 has just been released and it includes the following:

• Pre-integrated GenAI technology, leading to a wider range of product capabilities, such as:
  • LLM-based Catalog profiling as a way to identify classification of data using an LLM model.
  • AI Assistant for SQL statements – a built-in AI Assistant within the Query Builder editors, for an effortless creation of SQL statements by simply describing queries in natural language.
  • Broadway Co-pilot is an AI-based Broadway capability, which searches for required actors using natural language rather than standard key words.
• Fabric's Catalog have been upgraded to perform discovery based on user-defined rules. The new Discovery Pipeline screen facilitates the creation of rules that allow overriding the product baseline.
• Data Masking Consistency Using Seed, which ensures referential integrity without the need to save the mapping between the hashed original value and the masked value in the caching table.
• A centralized Catalog can now be used across multiple Fabric instances (clusters).

To get the full list of features and fixes, refer to the Release Notes and Upgrade Procedure to 8.2.

TDM 9.2 has just been released and it includes the following new features/capabilities:

• Vertical execution mode: Introducing an additional execution mode for TDM tasks, where instead of executing system by system, the vertical execution processes the complete LU hierarchy for each root entity before moving on to the next root entity. This mode is useful when running TDM tasks on a large scale of entities as it ensures better cross-systems data consistency and data alignment.

• Filter out reserved entities enhancements: Enabling the user to filter out all reserved entities from the task's entities, including the ones reserved by the task executor.

• Display Business Names for Task’s Parameters: Omitting the Logical Unit (LU) name from the business parameter names that appear in the list of business parameters in the sub-setting of TDM task. The display of the previous parameter's name along with the LU name - is supported as well.

• AI-based Synthetic Entities improvements: Improving the identification of logical relationships between distant tables, namely, tables that are not linked with Primary Key/Foreign Key relation.
