New Features
Authenticate Through the Web Server
This release of Toad Intelligence Central allows you to authenticate data sources through the Web console (Web server).
- You can now use the Web console (Web server) to update your credentials for a personal key on an object that has been shared with you. For example, if your password to the remote data source changes, you can update your personal key directly through the Web console.
- You can now use the Web console (Web server) to modify the type of authentication key (shared to personal, personal to shared) or to update shared credentials for objects for which you have Manage privileges.
Changes to Authentication Keys
This release includes an important change to Authentication Keys. A view can now have only one type of key, personal or shared. This change is designed to simplify the process of Authentication. Please review the following details.
In summary, an object can have only one type of key applied at a time. A snapshot always has a shared key. A view can have either a personal key or a shared key, but not both. If you change a personal key to a shared key, all personal keys are removed from the object.
If you change a shared key to a personal key, the shared key is removed from the object.
Use the Web Server to Manage Objects
This release of Toad Intelligence Central allows you to edit a variety of object properties and privileges through the Web interface (Web Server). You can now edit object information, modify the schedule, alter sharing (visibility) privileges, alter management privileges, and update/modify authentication credentials. These actions are performed through the Details pane for the selected object.
- You can now edit object information through the Web interface (Web Server). You can edit information for objects you own or objects for which you have Manage privileges. Editable information includes object name, description, and tags. From the Details pane, you can also move the object to another folder.
Modify Object Visibility (Sharing) Privileges.
- You can now modify an object's Sharing (Visibility) options through the Web interface (Web Server). The object owner and object managers can modify object Sharing options.
Modify Object Management Privileges
- You can now modify an object's Manage privileges through the Web interface (Web Server). The object owner and object managers can modify Manage options.
Modify an Object's Schedule
- You can now modify the execution schedule for a snapshot or an Automation script through the Web interface (Web Server). The object owner or a user with Manage privileges can modify the schedule.
Change Account Used for Automation Script Execution
- You can now change the account used to run an Automation script using the Web interface (Web server). Users with the Administrator role or with Manage privileges to the Automation script can change the run account.
Run a Health Check
This release provides a new feature that allows you to run a health check on the Intelligence Central server to check for objects with data integrity anomalies. Users with the Administrator role can run a health check and repair objects.
