New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.5)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.5 introduces support for overriding the default Windows service account during setup, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

Added logging context to metadata preview calls

To assist in troubleshooting reload failures, the following fields were added to the logs for metadata preview calls: requestguid, sessionid, and datasourceid.

Added support for “User defined credentials” to the MongoDB (via Direct Access gateway) and Google BigQuery (via Direct Access gateway) connectors

A User defined credentials field was added to the MongoDB (via Direct Access gateway) and Google BigQuery (via Direct Access gateway) connectors, thereby aligning them with the corresponding non-Direct Access gateway connectors.

When User defined credentials is selected, any user who wants to access the connection will need to input their own credentials before selecting tables or loading data. These credentials belong to a user, not a connection. User defined credentials can be saved and used in multiple connections of the same connector type.

Support for AsyncCommand with Load Data requests

Performing Load Data request asynchronously on the agent significantly shortens the time the cloud service waits for responses from the agent.

Support for changing the AGENT_LOG_OPTIONS property without needing to restart the Direct Access gateway service

It is now possible to modify the AGENT_LOG_OPTIONS property without needing to restart the Direct Access gateway service. This property should only be modified if requested by Qlik Support.
