What's new

With ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1, ArcGIS Data Pipelines is now generally available and includes new data sources, tool enhancements, and other updates.

New inputs

  • URL now offers an improved experience for connecting to secured URLs or APIs that require authentication.

Tool enhancements

  • Update fields has been enhanced in the following ways:

    • The tool now offers a streamlined experience for configuring field updates. You can now use a modal to easily manage and view field updates, including field names and field types.

    • You can now convert fields to additional new field types including geometry and date types, and additional numeric types. For more information on converting field types, see Type conversion behaviour.

    • Additionally, there is a new option to configure updates based on suggestions made by Data Pipelines. Data Pipelines will sample your data to find suggested formats and automatically configure them for you.

  • Create date time has been enhanced to support the following workflows:

    • You can now use string fields containing epoch millisecond or epoch second values to create a new date field. Previously this would have returned null values.

    • You can now specify multiple formats for a single field. For example, if you have a field with dates stored in various formats, you can specify all formats contained in the field to create a new date field. Previously this would have returned null values.
