Data Loader enhancements
Take a look at the new Data Loader enhancements we have in store for you:
- Prioritize and pause/resume data loading jobs
-
Take a look at the new Data Loader endpoints to set a job's priority and to pause and resume jobs. This gives you better control over the job processing order and the loading sequence:
-
Change the priority of a job: Use the
/_priorityendpoint to- Set the priority level to High, Normal, or Low to determine the order to process jobs. If multiple jobs have the same priority level, they are processed in order of their creation time.
- Change a job's priority to a higher level than the job currently running to move it to the top of the processing queue. This pauses the job that was running.
-
Pause or resume a job: Use the
/_pauseendpoint to pause currently running jobs:- Resume a previously paused job. It continues loading data from where it stopped. If you resume a job, it maintains its order of creation time. Even if there is a another job already running, if the resumed job has an earlier creation time it gets prioritized in the queue.

Data Model
Previously, you configured derived attributes only through the API, which was complex and time-consuming. We made the process simpler, so you can now configure and manage derived attributes in the Console. The Data Modeler application allows creating, editing, and viewing derived attributes to meet your needs.

Hub Profile - Segments
- Central activation service and scheduling of activation
- We enhanced the Segmentation and Activation feature, so you can now schedule when to activate a segment. In other words, specify the date, time, and frequency of activation jobs to share segment members with downstream applications. We also improved the UI and added a new panel where you can view the summary of the segment, view and manage destination details, and view the synchronization log.

Data Unification
- Events for merge failures
-
Previously, Reltio didn't generate an event for failed merge attempts due to system-imposed restrictions, For example, when exceeding crosswalk limits. Such failures occurred without notification, leaving you unaware of potential data integrity issues. Now, not only does the platform generate an event but it also logs merge failures in the Activity Log for visibility. You may send the events of type
ENTITIES_MERGE_FAILEDandRELATIONS_MERGE_FAILEDto external queues for real-time monitoring and corrective action on failed merges. - Min/ Max/ Frequency Survivorship Enhancement
- We improved our minimum and maximum survivorship strategies for nested attributes by introducing the optional flag
comparisonAttributeOvOnly. Set it to true to compare only the OV value of a subnested attribute defined for comparison.

Reltio Integration with Salesforce (on RIH)
- Batch Dispatch for Amazon SQS
-
This feature introduces recipes for synchronizing data from Reltio to Salesforce using Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) queues and batch dispatch mechanisms. It improves processing logic for high scale and batch oriented workflows. It reduces tasks usage and has better throughput. We recommend to use these recipes as a the default for the near real time integration with Salesforce.
With this feature you are able to process events in batches of up to 200 events for optimized output. Processes only the most recent event in cases where multiple events exist for the same entity.

Reltio Data Pipeline for Databricks
- Automatically update exported schema to Databricks warehouse
- Previously, schema evolution was only available for data exported in JSON format from the Reltio Data Pipeline for Databricks. We've enhanced the pipeline to support schema evolution for data in columns format. Now, Reltio Data Cloud automatically reflects the tenant data model updates in the exported data within your Databricks warehouse.
If you have your Databricks warehouse in a private cloud and the DLT pipeline is running in continuous mode, we recommend you stop and restart it every time you perform updates in the schema.
- Performance improvement for Databricks Data Pipeline
- Previously, all data, regardless of type, were grouped together into a single file in your staging bucket. This created overhead in your pipeline, slowing down processing and making it harder to scale for large data volumes. Now, data is stored by type within your staging bucket, such as entities, relationships, and interactions. This change allows Databricks to process these files in parallel, streamlining data movement and improving pipeline performance during large data loads.
New pipelines will automatically include these updates. As for existing pipelines, you can adopt the changes with a few simple steps.

Tenant based access to AWS S3 for Reltio Data Loader
To enhance security and ensure more granular access control, Reltio is introducing tenant-based AWS role access for your S3 buckets. This addresses current vulnerabilities, where you grant trust to Reltio's entire AWS account instead of tenant-specific roles.
With this enhancement, you can define tenant-specific roles for accessing your S3 buckets, ensuring access is limited to your intended tenants while mitigating risks of broader role permissions.
- Tenant-Specific Role Usage
- Introduces the new
useTenantRoleparameter that can be configured when setting up or modifying the StorageAccount configuration for AWS S3. This parameter allows you to configure if the AWS role is equal to the Reltio root role or the tenant-specific role. - Granular Access Control
- Allows you to provide access to your S3 bucket via the tenant-specific roles, which are linked to your individual tenants, ensuring stricter access boundaries.
- Enhanced Security
- Uses multi-step role assumption to authenticate and authorize access to the S3 bucket, reducing exposure to vulnerabilities
