With our 2024 R2 release, we continued to push the boundaries of what’s possible with DLX, making orchestrations more flexible, supporting larger datasets, and strengthening our platform architecture. Here’s a look at what’s new:
Fast and Flexible Orchestrations
- Export Packages – Orchestration designers can now export entire packages of DLX objects (orchestrations, connections, user groups) and import them into target systems, streamlining deployment.
- Expression Editor Enhancements – A new Text Mode allows power users to manually write expressions in JEXL, while breadcrumb-style navigation simplifies working with complex nested expressions.
- Parent-Child Data Sharing – Parent orchestrations can now directly access the output of child orchestrations’ final steps, eliminating the need for intermediate Data Store connections.
- Code Editing Enhancements – A revamped code editor now features auto-completion for DLX-specific variables and functions, improved UI controls, and the ability to test transforms against past executions without triggering a full orchestration run.
- UI Improvements – Parent and child executions are now displayed in a nested view for better readability, and step references automatically adjust when steps are added or deleted, reducing design errors.
Supporting Larger Datasets
- Attachment Mobility – The DLX File Store now supports files larger than 10MB.
- Attachment Processing – Transforms can now handle larger datasets (>3MB) for file creation and processing.
The actual ingestion limits can be set by the deployment administrator.
Robust and Scalable Architecture
- Connector Service Refactor – We’ve re-architected the connectors service to enhance scalability and prepare for future improvements.
What’s Next: 2025 R1 and Beyond
Our next release, 2025 R1, will focus on enterprise readiness, expanding DLX capabilities, and strengthening platform architecture. Key areas include:
- Enterprise Readiness – Enhancements in authentication, multi-tenant login, compliance tracking, and orchestration versioning.
- Extending DLX – Foundations for a public DLX API, more flexible deployment options, and expanded data handling capabilities.
- User Experience Enhancements – Improved error reporting, orchestration design refinements, and usability updates.
We’re committed to delivering a more scalable, secure, & efficient DLX experience. Stay tuned for more details as we move closer to launch!
