Starfish ETL Changelog

2026-11-13

• Setup > API Clients: team members with Full permission can now create, regenerate and delete API clients

2026-11-12

• Job > History, Running Jobs and the Job History / Jobs In Progress dashboards: Threads and Start Row now show 1 instead of 0 for manual runs where they were left blank
• Connections > OpenAPI > Security Config: OAuth2 Client Credentials can now authenticate with a Signed JWT (private key JWT) instead of a client secret, for providers such as Jack Henry external apps. Upload the private key file to Files and enter its name; Key ID and Assertion Audience are optional

2026-11-09

• Scripting AI Assistant: generated scripts now use only Starfish functions that exist, and C# scripts compile on the engine
• Process editor: the Python Procedure template now starts with a valid function definition

2026-11-03

• Running a job, Running Jobs and the Jobs In Progress dashboards: time remaining is now estimated by the engine from the rows actually processed, so it's accurate when a run starts partway through the data or after a slow row count. It shows "-" when it can't be estimated (Prefetch Row Count off, or no rows processed yet), and times over 24 hours now show in full instead of as just the number of days
• Running a job with multiple threads and Prefetch Row Count on: the current row no longer jumps ahead of the rows actually being processed, so the job no longer seems to keep going after reaching the last row

2026-10-29

• Job > History, Running Jobs and the Job History / Jobs In Progress dashboards: Started By is now left blank when it isn't known how a run was started, instead of showing Schedule
• Job > History: Started By now shows which API client started a job through the API (e.g. "API - Nightly Sync"), and these runs are no longer listed as Schedule
• Job > History: Threads and Start Row now show 1 instead of being left blank when the run didn't record them (for example, scheduled runs)
• Dashboards: the Job History dashboards now include the Start Row, Threads and Started By columns
• Running Jobs (Projects and Dashboard tabs, and the Jobs In Progress dashboards): added Start Row, Threads and Started By columns
• Running Jobs: the time remaining estimate is now correct for runs that start partway through the data instead of at row 1

2026-10-20

• Revisions: copying or moving a job to another project now adds "Copied/Moved to" and "Copied/Moved from" entries to each project's revision history
• Revisions: team member, API client, Setup option, SSO, project variable and engine reset changes are now recorded
• Revisions: Xref Lists screen edits are recorded as one summary entry per operation
• Revisions: project and stage copies, reorders, deletes with their contents, and connection password changes are now recorded

2026-10-11

• Projects > Export Documentation: the Excel export no longer fails when two job names share their first 31 characters (Excel's sheet name limit); long names are now shortened from the middle so the tab keeps the start and end of the job name

2026-10-08

• File-based connections (CSV, Excel, XML, OpenAPI spec files, FIS certificates, and Upload/Download File on FTP, SFTP, S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint, FreshDesk and Sage Intacct) now find the instance's Files area when it has been moved to a dedicated file server, instead of looking for it beside the engine

2026-10-06

• Jobs > Run Job: the tab no longer fails to open after a Preview was run earlier in the same session

2026-10-05

• Jobs > Preview: added an Argument box, shared with the Run Job tab, so a row can be previewed with a job argument
• AI assistant: previews it runs can carry a job argument, and otherwise use the one in the Argument box
• AI assistant (Compass), SQL assistant and AI field mapping: upgraded to Claude Sonnet 5.5; the model the SQL assistant and field mapping used was retired and requests were failing
• AI assistant: can now explain how to set up Single Sign-On for an instance and what the SSO sign-in messages mean
• AI assistant: can now tell you where things are in the app and how to do them by hand (connections, Rays, running jobs, webhooks and the API, team members, options and more)

2026-10-02

• Jobs > Settings: webhook-enabled jobs gain an Edit Ordering button. A job can name a value in the webhook payload (a sequence number, version or timestamp) to run its events by, instead of the order they arrived. The job's events are held for a configurable settle window that restarts on every arrival (with an optional maximum wait), then run lowest value first; an event that arrives after its turn has passed can be run anyway or skipped. Jobs without ordering keep running in arrival order, one at a time per instance as before.
• Admin > Webhook Queue: new Sort Key column, and a Skipped status for events dropped by a job's late-event policy
• AI assistant: mappings it creates or updates now record the destination field's data type, length and position the same way the mappings grid does, and a destination field that is not in the stage's table (or its user-defined fields) is rejected with the closest matches
• AI assistant: stages it creates default Match Logic, Skip-If-Blank Behavior and Logic to And / Row / Or like the stage popup, only accept those choices, and take the next free Sort position
• AI assistant: deleting a mapping, stage or process through the assistant now removes the row (and a stage's mappings) from the database immediately, as the grids do
• AI assistant: a schedule can no longer be enabled before it is configured, Retry defaults to a 1-minute interval, Monthly accepts only combinations the Schedule tab offers, thread count is capped at 8, and launch times are stored and described as server time
• AI assistant: deleting, moving or copying jobs keeps next-job chains valid (dangling links cleared, copied projects re-point their chains, self-references and cycles refused) and changing a job's connection resets its origin query and refreshes the open job's field lists
• AI assistant: processes it creates resolve the file connection by name, require the Xref Write fields, refuse @@ tokens in C# bodies and clear type-specific params on a type change; project creation honors the instance role and members only reach the projects they can see
• AI assistant: approved steps run one at a time, a failed database save is reported back instead of silently retried later, and a write that replaces another user's newer change is flagged to both users as manual saves are

2026-10-01

• Connections > OpenAPI: added an Edit... button that opens a guided editor for the Security Config and Query Config JSON
• Connections: a single quote inside a setting value no longer corrupts the saved connection string

2026-09-25

• Projects > Xref: the Rename and Copy toolbar buttons now open the rename/copy popup for the highlighted list. They previously did nothing (browser console: "pcRenameXref is not defined") because that popup only existed in the Xref list popup opened from a job, not on the Projects tab. Clicking either button with no list highlighted now asks you to select a list first

2026-09-23

• Jobs > Schedule: Daily, Weekly and Monthly schedules whose "If job fails" action is Retry can now be limited with a new "Retry up to N time(s)" setting. After N consecutive failed retries the scheduler stops retrying and waits for the job's next regular launch time; a successful run starts the count over. 0 keeps the previous behavior of retrying until the job succeeds, which is what existing jobs are set to
• AI assistant: the job-schedule tool accepts the same retry limit (retryLimit) and describes a schedule's retry settings
• FIS Code Connect Connector (IBS) - added JWE encryption support
• Added Starfish.OmitField() for Scripted Value mappings: omits the field from the insert/update payload for the current row without relying on the stage-level "Omit Blank Field Value Writes" option.

2026-09-17

• Preview: the progress check that runs while a preview executes no longer waits behind other work in the same browser session, and only one check is in flight at a time. Previously a slow request in another tab could pile the checks up until the server refused them ("The request queue limit of the session is exceeded") and the preview appeared to hang
• Connections: the Test / Preview progress check is now paced the same way, so a slow request elsewhere in the session cannot cause the same pile-up
• Jobs: when a job's Origin or Destination connection fails to open while the job loads, the message now says that the job's stages and mappings are intact and that the connected system could not be reached or refused the sign-in, with a hint to reopen the job or run Connections > Test. If the connected system returned a JSON error body (for example Creatio's "Code -1" response), the message quotes what it said instead of showing the raw body. Multi-line error messages now keep their line breaks

2026-09-16

• Grids: a cell containing the text "<!--" (for example a URL from a scanner in the Error Log) no longer hangs the page's DevExpress startup in Firefox ("allocation size overflow"), which also left grids at their default height instead of filling the page
• Admin > Error Log: the grid now fills the page even when there are only a few errors, and scrolls horizontally instead of clipping wide columns
• Admin > Error Log and Webhook Queue: text in the error detail and Request/Response popups can now be selected and copied
• Projects > Scheduled Jobs: each listed job now has a Disable Schedule link that, after a confirmation, turns the job's schedule off without opening the job

2026-09-14

• Added Fiserv Signature, Fiserv Precision, Fiserv Cleartouch, Fiserv Portico, Fiserv Finxact and Fiserv DNA (Banking Hub) connectors, all driven by the Fiserv Banking Hub (EFX) API; the Fiserv Premier connector now shares the same Banking Hub base
• Added Jack Henry CIF 20/20 and Jack Henry Core Director connectors via jXchange, sharing the Jack Henry SilverLake connector base (OAuth 2.0 private-key JWT or legacy WS-Security authentication)
• Added Jack Henry Symitar (SymXchange) credit union core connector, with Administrative, User Number or Token credentials and automatic paging
• Fixed Current Date mappings saved from Cartographer with Date Only / Time Only: the destination field was never written

2026-09-11

• Fixed a request error when the browser sends an unrecognized language (Accept-Language or ?lang=); the default language is used instead
• Fixed maximized popups losing their title bar

2026-09-09

• Xref mass import: every line is validated before anything is imported, a pasted header row is skipped, and errors report the offending line number instead of failing with a server error
• Xref edit grid: improved load times, especially for large lists
• Mapping search: searching while a mapping is being edited finishes the edit first (saving it if it changed) instead of discarding it

2026-09-08

• Run Job log: fixed Export to CSV / XLSX
• Global Search: text in the results popup can now be selected and copied

2026-09-04

• Errors now show a friendly error page with a reference number, are logged to a new Error Log page for administrators, and can be emailed to administrators
• Stale-tab guard: a browser session has one open job at a time; a tab that fell behind is told which job is open and is refreshed instead of silently saving into the wrong job
• Presence badges redrawn as crisp vector rings and initials
• Acumatica connector: fixed record ID lookups for detail (child) tables
• Presence: the hover tooltip now names the job a teammate has open on every page and across all projects, instead of falling back to "a job"

2026-08-30

• Added keyword search across stored run logs on the History tabs, with highlighted snippets and a pre-filtered log viewer

2026-08-29

2026-08-25

• Open Job, Mappings and Stage tabs refresh live when another team member changes them
• Saves are now versioned so edits are no longer lost when several people work in the same instance
• Members can be signed in from more than one browser at a time

2026-08-24

• SSO: the email you enter is passed to your identity provider as a login hint
