About Toad Intelligence Central

Toad® Intelligence Central enables enterprise users to be far more productive with their tools including Toad Data Point by centralizing automation workflows, accessing data directly, collaborating and sharing on datasets, queries and Toad files and providing a secure and established way to manage your data sprawl.

  • AUTOMATE - Toad users can schedule the regular automated execution of Toad Data Point automation scripts on Toad Intelligence Central.

  • ACCESS - Toad users can access Toad files and basic data files published to Toad Intelligence Central that have been shared with them. An additional data connectivity license extends Toad Intelligence Central to work across a wide range of data stores including relational database models, data warehouses, No SQL and Business Intelligence data sources like OBIEE and SAP®.

  • SHARE - Objects can be shared amongst users and groups and organized collectively in a familiar folder structure, assigned tags and given a description for easy search retrieval. Administration of users and groups can be managed locally or users and groups can be imported from Active Directory®.
  • SECURE - Toad Intelligence Central provides a centrally managed, secure, stable and accessible system.

Distributions of Toad Intelligence Central include a Web Server for administrative and general user access. In addition, Toad Data Point and other collaborative Toad products can directly access Toad Intelligence Central. Data on Toad Intelligence Central can be accessed via a third party product such as Tableau for further data processing and visualization.

Intelligence Central 6.1 is a minor release, with enhanced features and functionality. See New features.

 

New Features

This release of Toad Intelligence Central includes new features and enhancements.

"Share reports" settings are preserved and available in published workbook

Share reports settings will now be present in the published workbook and available for running on Toad Intelligence Central. If the workbook containing shared reports has been published with the option for updating the recipient list, it will be displayed and can be edited as any other workbook variable.

 

Workbook Information Page is available in the Details section

When the Workbook containing the Information page is published, Toad Intelligence Central users view the information included in the Information Page by clicking on the Workflow Information button in the Details panel of the published workbook which will bring up a pop-up window, displaying the information present in the Information page.

Suppose the published workbook is created and published without an Information Page. In that case, this pop-up window will provide instructions on adding an Information Page to the published workbook - this applies to all workbooks that are not created in Toad Data Point 6.1

 

Information about who ran the last published Workbook or Automation Script

The Details section for the workbook datasets now contains information about the user who initiates a workbook run in Toad Intelligence Central that results in re-publishing the workbook dataset. This information will help the user understand who ran the last workbook with its variables and if it is necessary to rerun it to collect the needed information. The same information is also available for the published Automation scripts.

This feature will become available for previously published workbooks or scripts once they are run in Toad Intelligence Central 6.1

 

See Resolved issues for enhancements and resolved issues in this release of Toad Intelligence Central.

Deprecated Features

Integration with Toad for Oracle has been discontinued. The Toad for Oracle Code Quality, Code Analysis, Code Tester, Team Coding, and DB Health Check pages have been removed in Toad Intelligence Central 5.0. Beginning with Toad for Oracle 13.1, you can no longer connect to Toad Intelligence Central and you cannot publish scripts, files, Code Analysis results, and other resources to a Toad Intelligence Central server.

The Admin Console. Beginning with Toad Intelligence Central 4.3, the Admin Console is no longer required and is not included in the Toad Intelligence Central installation. The administrative functionality of the Admin Console is now superseded by the Web Server (Web Console). The activity of mapping/editing data objects is best performed through Toad Data Point.

After installing Intelligence Central 4.3 or later, it is recommended that you uninstall any earlier version of the Admin Console as some functionality may no longer be supported.

Authentication Keys for Views. Beginning with Toad Intelligence Central 4.3, a view can now have only one type of key, personal or shared. This change is designed to simplify the process of Authentication. If you are upgrading from Intelligence Central 3.3 or earlier, please see the Upgrade section of the Toad Intelligence Central Deployment Guide for more information.

Toad for Oracle Installation. Beginning with Toad Intelligence Central 4.3, Toad for Oracle is no longer installed as part of the Toad Intelligence Central installation.

Run in Debug Mode. In Toad Intelligence Central 3.3, the Run in debug mode option was removed from the Web console (Web server). It is no longer necessary to enable/disable debug mode. Debug-level information is always logged and automatically included in the support bundle. This release also includes improved logging strategies and archiving methods.

The use of SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 has been discontinued.

The use of RC4 cipher has been discontinued.

The use of SWEET32 medium strength cipher has been discontinued.
