Read this section to learn what's new for Enterprise Data Catalog in version 10.5.0.1.
Advanced Scanners
Enhanced Snowflake Scanner

The new version enables extracting lineage from the following Snowflake data sources:
- •Stored procedures
- •Functions
- •Pipes
- •Stages
The resource that you configured in Catalog Administrator is deprecated.
Informatica suggests configuring advanced scanners for these sources in the Advanced Scanners tool before we drop support for the resources. When you create an advanced scanner, you can configure additional functionality such as embedded procedural calls and additional lineage detail.
For more information, see the Enterprise Data Catalog 10.5 Advanced Scanners Administrator Guide.
Enhanced SAP BW Scanner
Effective in version 10.5.0.1, you can extract metadata using the advanced scanner for SAP BW with InfoSource support that includes lineage, impact, and relationships for InfoSource.
Note: You can configure the enhanced SAP BW scanner directly in the Catalog Administrator tool.

View Analytics From Option in Data Asset Analytics
Effective in version 10.5.0.1, the View Analytics From option is removed from the Application Configuration page in Data Asset Analytics. When you select From Beginning from the Time Range menu, Data Asset Analytics displays the statistical reports for the catalog, beginning from 01/01/2010.
STDOUT and STDERR log files
Effective in version 10.5.0.1, when you run a resource scan and click the Log Location link for a scan job that is in the running status, the STDOUT and STDERR logs no longer appear on the Nomad Web UI. A page with the links to access the STDOUT and STDERR log files appears in a new tab.
PowerExchange Adapters for Informatica
Effective in version 10.5.0.1, when you refresh the source or target schema at run time in a dynamic mapping for a flat file, the Data Integration Service uses the value that you specify for the text qualifier formatting option on the Schema tab.
Previously, Data Integration Service ignored the value of the text qualifier that you specified and used the default double quotes instead.
To retain the previous behavior, edit the existing mapping, set the text qualifier to double quotes, and run the mapping again.
The change is applicable to the following adapters:
- •PowerExchange for Amazon S3
- •PowerExchange for Microsoft Azure Blob Storage
- •PowerExchange for Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1
- •PowerExchange for Microsoft Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2
