4.3.169.1​

Release Date: 15th July 2026

New Features​

Environment Pulse Dashboard​

A new Environment Pulse dashboard has been added under Environment > Reports, giving users a real-time, tile-based "heartbeat" view of every environment resource across the landscape. Resources are grouped by Environment Group and colour-coded by status (In-Operation, Unplanned Outage, Planned Outage, Provisioning), with filters for Environment Group, System, and status, plus an adjustable tile size for scanning large estates at a glance.

Event Form – Recurring Events​

The Event Form now supports creating recurring events, removing the need to manually create the same event multiple times. Users can define a recurrence pattern once and have future occurrences generated automatically.

Database Health Diagnostics are here!*​

When a masking run is slow, you no longer have to rely on a DBA to tell you why. Get a fast, clear view inside your database - long-running queries, tablespace usage, and (on supported engines) blocking sessions - so you can investigate slowness and delays yourself. Every check is read-only and safe, and this is just the start, with more diagnostic capabilities coming in future releases. (*Data Manager License Required)

Enhancements​

Manage Runsheet – Mid-Sequence Task Insertion​

Manage Runsheet now supports inserting a task at a selected position within an existing sequence. Subsequent tasks automatically shift their scheduled dates/times to accommodate the newly inserted task, removing the need to manually re-date every downstream task.

Orchestration Manager – Backup & Restore Progress Updates​

The Backup and Restore feature in Orchestration Manager has been enhanced to display live progress updates as the process runs, giving users clear visibility into how far along a backup or restore job is rather than waiting without feedback until it completes.

Security Updates​

SAML Authentication Library Upgrade​

The platform’s SAML authentication library has been upgraded to a newer supported version. This update improves the security, compatibility, and reliability of SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication.

4.3.169.1.2​

Release Date: 29th July 2026

Enhancements​

Booking Form – Configurable Add Project Button​

The Add Project button in the Booking Form can now be disabled through configuration, providing greater control over project creation.

Fixed​

Detailed Editor – Tab Data Visibility​

Resolved an issue where data across various tabs in the Detailed Editor was visible only to System Administrators. Authorised users can now view the data as expected.

Cache Clear – Class Selection Dropdown​

Resolved an issue where data was not visible in the Class Selection dropdown when clearing the cache.

Database Health Diagnostics are here!​

When a masking run is slow, you no longer have to rely on a DBA to tell you why. Get a fast, clear view inside your database - long-running queries, tablespace usage, and (on supported engines) blocking sessions - so you can investigate slowness and delays yourself. Every check is read-only and safe, and this is just the start, with more diagnostic capabilities coming in future releases.

• Diagnostic Check

  

• Tablespace Utilisation on an Oracle Database

Informix is here!​

The go-to database for high-throughput transactional and embedded workloads now plugs straight into TDM - profiling, masking, and compliance included. Another key platform, fully covered.

Now supporting Ubuntu 24!​

TDM workerbees and our Enov8-built MongoDB instances are now certified on the U24 operating system.

Conditional masking just got smarter.​

Two new ways to build more precise rules:

• In operator - Check a column against an entire list of values in a single rule. No more writing one rule per value.

• Multiple criteria - Combine several conditions on the same column for finer, context-aware masking.

  • Example #1: Multiple Conditions on the Same Flag Column

  • Example #2: Multiple Conditions on Multiple Flag Columns

---

Changes​

Connection setup

• Added tooltips, placeholder hints, and a new Description field to make connections easier to configure and reduce errors.

Connection name limit

• Connection names now have a maximum length, preventing failures caused by overly long auto-generated config names.

---

Fixed Issues​

Compliance Report

• Sources with no PII now correctly show as Compliant in PDF reports.

Compliance timeline

• Execution columns now stay Pending when profiling, masking, and validation run out of order, instead of showing a misleading OK.

JSON masking

• Large files now stream during processing, so files over 20 GB mask reliably.

MSSQL masking

• Better handling of collation mismatches between source and temp tables.

Oracle masking

• Fixed a temp-table issue affecting Oracle 10g.

Teradata masking

• Fixed intermittent table-resolution errors during chunked merges.

Parquet masking

• ID fields like ACN, ABN, and TFN now stay as text, preserving leading zeros.

File masking reports

• Entries with invalid file paths or schemas now appear in reports with a clear status.

Custom function masking

• Config state is now isolated during runs, giving consistent results every time.

---

3.11.1​

Release Date: 29th July 2026

Fixed Issues​

Fixed Value Masking​

• Inline validation now correctly handles datasets containing a mix of null and non-null values.

Many-to-One Masking​

• Right-padded values in fixed-length CHAR columns are now masked correctly.

MSSQL Conditional Masking​

• Resolved an issue where columns could not self-reference during conditional masking.

Note: When the column used for the condition is also the column being masked, validation will be evaluated against the already-masked value, which may result in inaccurate validation results. Use a separate flag column for validation accuracy.

1.9.0 Major Release Items​

What's New​

First-Time Setup Wizard​

New appliances now boot into a guided Setup Wizard that walks you through every first-run step in the browser: hostname, network (DHCP or static IP with DNS), timezone, TLS certificate, licence activation, admin password, authentication method, and the initial storage pool. There is no more manual bootstrapping over SSH.

See the Setup Wizard guide for the full step-by-step walkthrough, including DHCP vs static IP networking and installing your own TLS certificate.

End-to-End iSCSI Agent Orchestration​

vME can now drive the SQL Server iSCSI workflow remotely and automatically. A lightweight Windows agent (installed from an MSI, run as a background service) enrols each SQL Server host with vME and then picks up and runs onboarding, migration, and clone mount/unmount jobs on demand - with no one logging in to run PowerShell.

Agents are managed centrally from the new Agent Manager in the web console: create one-time enrollment tokens, watch each agent's live status, and rotate keys - all over an outbound-only connection (port 443), so no inbound ports need to be opened on the SQL host.

See the iSCSI Connector - Automated (Windows Agent) guide for setup and usage.

Application Onboarding Wizard (Beta)​

A new Onboard Application wizard (Beta) guides you through cloning a production database onto another vME appliance end to end - pairing the two appliances, discovering the source host, and driving the iSCSI agent through prep, snapshot, clone, and mount. This is an early Beta; we'd love your feedback.

See Onboard Application (Beta) for the full workflow.

Container Connection Details​

vME now surfaces each database container's connection details - host, port mappings, mount paths, database type, and environment variables (such as POSTGRES_USER / POSTGRES_PASSWORD) - in the web UI, so you can connect to a running database without hunting for its settings. The container list API (GET /docker/container/list) returns the port mappings, mounts, database type, and environment variables as well.

See Getting container connection info for details.

Consistent Snapshots​

When you snapshot a source or clone that has running database containers, vME now stops those containers first, takes the snapshot, and restarts them - so the captured data is consistent rather than mid-write. The UI shows a container-aware confirmation listing exactly what will be stopped.

See Snapshots for more info.

Rename Sources and Clones in the UI​

You can now rename sources and clones directly from the web console, instead of destroying and recreating them. (Renaming is not supported for iSCSI sources and clones.)

Unix CLI Install​

The vME CLI can now be installed on Unix, in addition to Windows, so you can run it from the command line on either platform. The CLI is also up to date with the 1.9.0 API. See the CLI guide to download and install.

Improvements​

• Clearer LDAP errors - a failed LDAP login now shows the actual error returned by the directory, instead of a generic message.
• Licence errors surfaced - operations blocked by an unlicensed or expired appliance now show a clear licence error.
• Longer sessions - the web session timeout has been extended to 24 hours.

Fixed Issues​

iSCSI connector

• Snapshots now flush the LUN write cache before the snapshot is taken, so clones are no longer occasionally created RAW/empty.
• Skip-backup no longer crashes when pointed at a single backup file.

Platform

• Login now signs in correctly on the button press after a session timeout.
• Fixed a UI refresh glitch when switching between menu items.
• Fixed cross-appliance API calls failing due to certificate handling.
• Resolved intermittent stale database-connection errors.

API Changes & Upgrading​

The 1.9.0 REST API is documented in the vME API reference. A few endpoints changed shape in this release - if you maintain a custom REST integration, review these before upgrading. (The vME web UI and CLI ship updated with the release and need no changes.)

Grab the updated vME Postman collection to get all the new and changed endpoints ready to run - it also includes an Onboarding (API) folder that replicates the full Onboard Application flow as ordered, chained requests.

Breaking changes

• POST /user/modify now requires your current_password, and a password change is sent as a structured object:

  - { "username": "jane", "password": "NewPass456!" }
  + {
  +   "username": "jane",
  +   "current_password": "OldPass123!",
  +   "password": { "current": "OldPass123!", "new": "NewPass456!", "confirm": "NewPass456!" }
  + }
  
• DELETE /user/delete now requires your password and a typed confirmation:

  - { "username": "ubuntu123" }
  + { "username": "ubuntu123", "password": "MyPassword123!", "confirm_text": "DELETE ubuntu123" }
  
• POST /db/receive is now asynchronous - it returns 202 Accepted with a task_id. Poll GET /tasks/<task_id> for completion instead of expecting a synchronous result.

New and improved

• New endpoints: POST /db/send/cancel, POST /user/changepass, POST /db/network/create, DELETE /db/network/delete, and GET /tasks/<task_id>.
• iSCSI sources & clones over the API: POST /source/create and POST /clone/create accept a network_info block (type: iscsi, with auto_grow / vsize), and the iSCSI target is provisioned automatically as part of creation.
• System-to-system db send no longer needs an SSH/PEM key - vME establishes trust with the receiver automatically using its admin api-key.

1.9.1​

Version 1.9.1 is a focused update to the Onboard Application workflow and the iSCSI connector, based on feedback from teams using them day to day.

What's New​

Choose Your Own Database Name Prefix​

Databases ingested onto iSCSI storage were always named with a fixed ISCSI_ prefix. The ingest step now has a Target database prefix field (under Advanced options) so you can pick a naming scheme that suits your environment. The default remains ISCSI_, already-ingested databases are detected using your chosen prefix, and teardown detaches using the same prefix the workflow ingested with.

Tear Down the Source Host​

Once an application has been onboarded and cloned to the target appliance, you can clean up the source SQL host with one click. Tear down source detaches the staging databases, disconnects the workflow's iSCSI sessions, and frees the drive letters on the source host - without touching the source dataset on the appliance, so you can keep cloning from it. Only the workflow's own sessions and databases are affected.

Recognisable Snapshot Names​

Snapshots created in the wizard now default to a name derived from your source name (for example SalesDB-20260729103000) instead of the generic prepared-<timestamp>. The name stays fully editable, and invalid characters are rejected with a clear message.

Automatic Drive Letter Assignment​

The ingest and clone-mount steps now pick free drive letters automatically instead of defaulting to fixed letters that may already be in use. The pickers prefer the host's recommended letters when free, and never assign the same letter to data and log. Selecting an in-use letter manually still asks for confirmation before reformatting.

Improvements​

• P: and S: are now assignable as data/log drive letters across the wizard and the Windows connector.
• Teardown is kinder to shared hosts - a full iSCSI cleanup no longer restarts the Windows iSCSI service, so other iSCSI workloads on the same host are not interrupted, and mount-point cleanup only touches the drive letters the workflow owns.

Fixed Issues​

Onboard Application​

• Workflow steps completed directly via the REST API (for example with the Postman collection) are now recorded on the workflow and shown on the wizard's stepper, which refreshes live - previously the stepper only updated for actions taken inside the wizard itself.

iSCSI Connector​

• Tearing down a clone could leave the iSCSI session reconnecting automatically: persistent target registrations are now parsed and removed correctly, so a torn-down target stays disconnected.
• Sessions are now disconnected reliably even when the target is no longer in the discovered-targets list.
• Disks are taken offline before their session is disconnected, so volumes dismount cleanly during teardown.
• The teardown's database-detach step can be skipped cleanly when there is nothing to detach, instead of stalling the run.

API Changes & Upgrading​

Update the Windows connector to use the new features. The custom database prefix and the teardown fixes live in the Windows iSCSI connector - update the connector (MSI) on your SQL Server hosts as part of this upgrade. Until a host's connector is updated, ingests on that host keep the default ISCSI_ prefix regardless of what is set in the wizard.

Behaviour change for direct connector use: in the teardown script, the disconnect selection now takes Windows disk numbers (as shown in the script's disk listing) instead of session list positions. ALL and MATCH selections are unchanged, and wizard-driven teardowns are unaffected.

API additions (all optional, backwards compatible):

• The ingest and teardown jobs accept a dbPrefix value (migrate.dbPrefix / unmount.dbPrefix).
• The snapshot, clone, source, and send APIs accept optional workflow tracking fields (workflow_id, wizard_step, role) so API-driven onboarding steps appear on the wizard's stepper.
• The vME Postman collection's Onboarding (API) folder has been updated to use these fields.

4.3.168.1​

Release Date: 1st April 2026

New Features​

Horizontal Navigation Menu​

A new horizontal navigation menu has been introduced to provide direct, streamlined access to core Enov8 modules, reducing reliance on nested navigation structures.

The updated navigation model centralises access to key modules (Environment, Release, Project, Event, Service, Configuration, Data, Orchestration), improving efficiency and simplifying the user experience. The scalable design also ensures the menu can accommodate future module expansion without impacting usability.

Environment Flow – End-to-End Flow Modelling & Status Monitoring​

A new capability, Environment Flow, has been introduced to enable modelling of end-to-end flows across environment instances and system interfaces. Users can define logical flows representing interconnected components within their environment landscape, providing a clearer view of system interactions and dependencies.

Each flow is assigned a dynamic status that reflects the health of its underlying components. Any change in the status of an environment instance or interface (e.g., downtime or failure) is automatically propagated to the associated flow, allowing users to quickly identify impacted flows and take corrective action. This enhances visibility, improves impact analysis, and supports proactive monitoring of critical environment pathways.

Enhancements​

Redesigned Top Bar​

The top bar has been redesigned to deliver a cleaner, more structured interface with enhanced accessibility to global actions. The update introduces support for dark and light mode, along with modernised icons and refreshed visual styling, improving overall clarity and consistency.

The enhanced layout and visual hierarchy provide a more intuitive user experience, enabling quicker access to key actions while aligning with the platform’s broader UI modernisation.

Global Search – UI Modernisation & Category-Based Filtering​

The Global Search experience has been redesigned with a modern UI, improving usability, readability, and overall visual consistency across the platform.

The update introduces category-based filtering via a left-hand panel, allowing users to quickly refine results across areas such as Environment, Events, Systems, and Packages. With grouped results and category-level visibility, users can navigate search outcomes more efficiently, reducing the time required to locate relevant records.

Data Model Management – Unified Interface & Backup Restore Enhancement​

Data Model Management has been streamlined into a unified interface, bringing all model lifecycle operations into a single, consolidated view. Previously distributed across multiple dropdown options (Load, Backup, Delete), these actions are now centrally accessible, improving usability and reducing navigation complexity.

The Load Model capability has also been enhanced to include visibility of automated system backup files. This enables users to quickly restore models directly from available backups without relying on external tracking or manual processes, significantly improving recovery efficiency and operational control.

Bulk Edit Enhancements​

Bulk edit capabilities have been extended across key modules to support additional update and configuration actions, enabling more efficient management of large datasets.

The following enhancements have been introduced:

Report	Bulk Actions Supported
Configure Environment	Create Tags, Update Versions
Manage Events	Create Tags, Update Version, Update Environment
Manage Service Requests	Update Root Cause Type, Update Priority

These enhancements reduce manual effort, improve data consistency, and streamline administrative workflows across the platform.

Subscription Manager – UI Redesign & Category-Based Unsubscription View​

The email unsubscribe experience has been redesigned with a modernised UI, improving usability and providing clearer visibility into subscription preferences.

The updated interface introduces a category-based view, allowing users to filter unsubscribed items by class (e.g., System, Environment Instance, System Interface) from the left-hand panel. This enables users to quickly identify and manage the specific objects they have unsubscribed from, improving transparency and control over notification settings.

Dynamic Date Range Handling in Shared Report URLs​

Date range handling in shared report URLs has been enhanced to support dynamic date selections. Previously, when users selected predefined ranges (e.g., This Month, Last 30 Days) and shared the URL, the exact date values at the time of sharing were persisted.

With this update, shared URLs now retain the selected date range type rather than fixed dates. When the URL is accessed, the report dynamically recalculates and displays data based on the current date context. For example, a report shared with This Month will always display data for the current month at the time of access.

For Custom Date selections, the explicitly chosen date range is preserved and consistently displayed when the shared URL is opened.

This enhancement ensures reports remain contextually relevant while maintaining accuracy for fixed-date scenarios.

Orchestration Manager – Enhanced Scheduling (Weekly & Monthly Support)​

Scheduling capabilities within Orchestration Manager have been extended to support Weekly and Monthly execution frequencies. This enhancement provides greater flexibility in defining automation schedules, enabling alignment with more complex operational and business-driven timelines.

What's New​

Reporting & Compliance Enhancements​

TDM reporting has been redesigned to provide a more in-depth compliance view across onboarding and operational activity. Reports can be generated at any stage of application onboarding, with time and date filters to review database activity for defined periods (for example, quarterly reporting windows). PDF and CSV outputs consolidate profiling, masking, and validation outcomes at the column level across multiple executions. Users can also download reports for all jobs executed within the selected period, with filters applied to target specific results such as TFN matches across a single database or grouped databases.

Enhanced Chunking for Fixed-width File Masking​

Added chunked processing support for fixed-width file masking to improve throughput on large datasets. This update improves scalability and reduces memory overhead for high-volume file inputs.

Deprecation Notice​

Parameter Field in Pattern Configuration​

As announced in the previous release, the Parameter field in the Pattern Configuration UI has now been fully deprecated and is no longer supported starting from this release (v3.9). This enforcement is part of our system-wide update to streamline and standardise masking logic via structured configuration options under Additional Configuration.

What You Need To Know​

• Any existing configurations that still rely on the Parameter field will not function as expected.

• All masking logic or values previously set under the Parameter field are migrated into the appropriate fields, such as Fixed Value, Chunk Size, or other relevant options.
