Connector Development Kit (CDK) v4.14.0 - Deployment API

What’s New in CDK v4.14.0?

Deploy your CDK connectors seamlessly with our new Deployment API, designed to align with your CI/CD pipelines for enhanced efficiency and flexibility.

User-Facing Changes:

CDK users can now utilise the Deployment API to automate the deployment of connectors directly through your CI/CD pipelines. This update allows for streamlined management and deployment across multiple regions (US, EU, APAC) using region-specific URLs and API tokens.

API Management - GA release

Tray is excited to announce the General Availability (GA) release of API Management (APIM).

This is a significant upgrade to Tray’s low-code builder, which enables your organization to modernize your API Management capabilities by fast-tracking your API delivery and significantly reducing development time and effort.

The new interface enables users to

• turn any project into an API workspace,

• manage, govern, and secure APIs, and

• expose the power of Tray automation to other services, so that you and your customers can build applications powered by your own workflow-based endpoints.

Prerequisites

Copy

API Management can be accessed only through the new Tray UI, which all Tray users can easily self-enable in the profile settings.

Key features

Copy

Turn a workflow or project into an API using

• the new API Operation trigger

• Access control

  • Manage authentication (through clients and roles)

  • Set policies (such as rate limits, restrict access by role or IP, and header policy enforcement)

Within a project, any API operation-triggered workflows can be turned into an endpoint. These workflows themselves can be the start point for a collection of callable workflows.

To learn more or get started, visit our Tray Documentation - API Management articles.

Search for workflows and/or datatables within a project

New functionality that allows for quick and easy searching across the project!

We have recently made another update to the new UI, helping customers be more productive with using Tray. Users can now easily search for assets within the project by name. This includes searching for both data tables and workflows using a quick keyword search. This feature comes in handy, especially when managing multiple workflows and/or data tables within the same project.

Ability to Edit and Delete External Users

You now have the ability to edit or delete embedded external users directly from the End Users section.

For detailed instructions, please refer to our documentation.

Fixed issues with marking end users as test users

We have corrected problems with marking embedded end users as test users for UAC accounts.

Fallback Values - UX Improvements

New functionality and UX for fallback values:

1. Added a button to explicitly remove fallback values (previously you needed to reset the data type)

2. If your property is set to mapped data (JSON Path) you can now set a fallback to no value

   1. When you use this no value option the property is not included in the output of the step

   2. You can still set the fallback to an empty string by clicking into the field and then clicking out - you will see the placeholder text changes from "no value" to "empty string" when you do this

   3. There is no change in functionality for interpolation jsonpaths in text inputs as these fallback to an empty string

For detailed information, please refer to the feature's documentation.

Connector Development Kit (CDK) - Version 4.0.0

What’s New in CDK v4.0.0?

Copy

We have made an update to our Connector Development Kit (CDK) DSL Library and CLI, now available in version 4.0.0.

This new version introduces essential upgrades including a global configuration object, Raw HTTP operations, and deployment options via RBAC token.

Please note, this upgrade is strongly recommended in order to ensure seamless use of the CDK.

User-Facing Changes:

Copy

CDK v4.0.0 enhances the development experience by integrating a global configuration object that is accessible across all connector operations, providing streamlined management of authentication types, base URLs, and headers. This release also introduces the Raw HTTP operation, enabling developers to utilise API endpoints directly without the need for predefined connector operations. This feature is vital for rapid testing and integration of new API endpoints into your workflows.

Furthermore, the new RBAC token deployment method offers a more secure and permanent way to deploy connectors compared to the traditional session tokens. This update is designed to simplify the deployment process and enhance security for continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) practices.

For implementation guidance, refer to Upgrading to CDK v4 in the Tray Developer Portal.
