| Enhanced version and configuration management | <ul> <li>You now manage the configuration using Manage &gt; Configuration.</li> <li>The incremental stitching accelerates the re-building of configurations                        based on the incremental harvesting of multi models from DI/ETL servers,                        Business Intelligence servers, data lakes and large data warehouses.</li> <li>The configuration build now prevents concurrent configuration builds and                        provides better configuration status updates.</li> <li>The model connection stitching now supports the multi-model databases including:<ul> <li>two levels (database model and schema) of traditional databases                              server like Oracle, Hive.</li> <li>three levels (database model, database catalog and schema) of                              Microsoft SQL servers.</li> </ul> </li> <li>The change detection capability now relies on the name space such as                        schema/table/column and no longer on the physical native ID of the object                        such as table. This improvement prevents invalid change detection when the                        database is re-created using backup/restore, or when pointing from                        development to production server.</li> </ul> | <ul>Available in:<li>Data Catalog Advanced Edition</li><li>Data Catalog Advanced Plus Edition</li><li>Data Catalog Standard Edition</li></ul><br><br>All Talend<br>on-premises Data Catalog licenses |

As the databases are now imported as multi-models at<br>the schema level, each new imported version reuses the stable schema<br>submodels. | <ul>Available in:<li>Data Catalog Advanced Edition</li><li>Data Catalog Advanced Plus Edition</li><li>Data Catalog Standard Edition</li></ul><br><br>All Talend<br>on-premises Data Catalog licenses |
