Changes for Release 5.0
CLI for Connections does not support Redshift and SQL DW connections
In Release 5.0, the management of Redshift and SQL DW connections through the CLI for Connections is not supported.
NOTE: Please create Redshift and SQL DW connections through the application. See Connections Page.
Changes for Release 4.2
All CLI scripts with relational connections must be redownloaded
Each CLI script that references a dataset through a connection to run a job must be re-downloaded from the application in Release 4.2.
Scripts from Release 4.1 that utilize the run_job
command do not work in Release 4.2.
Requirements for Release 4.2 and later:
- In the executing environment for the CLI script, the relational (JDBC) connection must exist and must be accessible to the user running the job.
- When the CLI script is downloaded from the application, the connection ID in the
datasources.tsv
must be replaced by a corresponding connection ID from the new environment.- Connection identifiers can be retrieved using the
list_connections
command from the CLI. See CLI for Connections.
- Connection identifiers can be retrieved using the
After the above changes have been applied to the CLI script, it should work as expected in Release 4.2. For more information, see Run job in CLI for Jobs.
Redshift credentials format has changed
In Release 4.1.1 and earlier, the credentials file used for Redshift connection was similar to the following:
{ "awsAccessKeyId": "<your_awsAccessKeyId>", "awsSecretAccessKey": "<your_awsSecretAccessKey>", "user": "<your_user>", "password": "<your_password>" }
In Release 4.2:
- The AWS key and secret, which were stored in
trifacta-conf.json
, do not need to be replicated in the Redshift credentials file. - The Designer Cloud Powered by Trifacta platform now supports EC2 role-based instance authentication. This configuration can be optionally included in the credentials file.
The credentials file format looks like the following:
{ "user": "<your_user>", "password": "<your_password>", "iamRoleArn": "<your_IAM_role_ARN>" }
NOTE: For security purposes, you may wish to remove the AWS key/secret information from the Redshift credentials file.
NOTE: iamRoleArn
is optional. For more information on using IAM roles, see Configure for EC2 Role-Based Authentication.
