Fivetran GCP Japan Servers

We have added new servers in the Google Cloud Platform Japan (Tokyo) region.

You can now select Japan as your data processing location in your destination setup form. This means that your data doesn't leave our region-specific servers during processing. For example, if you configure your connectors to use our servers in Japan, your data does not leave Japan during processing.

For more information, see our data residency documentation.

Lite Connectors

Lite connectors are now available for the following sources:

New IP for fivetran.com

We have changed fivetran.com's underlying IP to 35.236.237.87 as part of infrastructure-level maintenance. If you used the previous IP to integrate HVR with Fivetran, enable outbound access to the new IP from the web browser that you use to manage HVR. Learn more in our Integrate HVR with Fivetran documentation.

We have added a new column, orderId, to the ORDER_SHIPPING_ITEM and ORDER_SHIPMENT_ADDRESS tables.

Stripe

We have added a new column, collection_method, to the INVOICE and SUBSCRIPTION (SUBSCRIPTION_HISTORY for history mode connectors) tables. This column stores the same value as the billing column. Stripe has deprecated the billing column. We will continue to support both columns.

We have added the following new columns to the CARD table:

iin
description
issuer

These columns are not available in standard Stripe API requests. Contact Stripe support to enable them on your account.

Azure Private Link

Azure Private Link is now generally available. You can use Azure Private Link with your source, destination, or both your source and destination.

BigQuery

We no longer support RECORD data type. We now convert the RECORD data type columns to STRING in your BigQuery destination.

Braintree

The Braintree connector now supports table blocking for all Braintree tables. You can now choose which tables to sync and which to block from syncing to your destination. On your Connector Details page, go to the Schema tab and select or deselect the tables. If you want to sync a child table, you must include the parent table in the sync.

Coupa

We have fixed a bug in our Coupa connectors that use OAuth2.0 authentication where we didn't sync a few tables.

To sync these tables, select the following read scopes for the Client ID when configuring the connector:

core.easy_form_response.read
core.item.read
core.sourcing.read
core.sourcing.response.read
core.supplier.read

For existing connectors using OAuth2.0, go to your Coupa Portal and add the above scopes to your Client ID.

MongoDB

We now convert UUID data type to STRING (Base64-decoded) in the destination. Previously, we didn't convert UUID data type. This functionality is enabled by default for new connections created after October 10, 2022. We are gradually rolling out the feature to all the existing connections.

Oracle

Fivetran Teleport Sync is now available in beta for our Oracle and Oracle E-Business Suite connectors. Learn more in our Fivetran Teleport Sync for Oracle documentation.

GOODS_AND_SERVICE_ACK
JOURNAL_ENTRY
PRODUCT_DESIGN_VERSION
