New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.10)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.10 introduces both new and enhanced features, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

New “Delimit column names” option for the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector

Some data sources require column names with upper case letters or special characters to be delimited in the load script. Otherwise, an error will occur. The new Delimit column names option eliminates the need to manually add delimiters to the load script when loading or previewing data.

For details, see Create an ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connection.

Support for setting a quota for the metrics data stored on the Direct Access gateway machine

A new localDataRetentionDatabaseSizeInMb property has been added to the metrics collector, which allows you to set a quota for the total size of metrics data stored on the gateway machine (in MB). Old data will be deleted to ensure that the quota is not exceeded.

The metrics collector can either be configured locally in a JSON file or via the Public API.

For more information, see Metrics collector.
