Enhances Security authorizations

When logging into Oracle, you can users gain the inherent security policies and procedures from Microsoft Entra by entering your password only once.

This release of DBArtisan and Rapid SQL includes support for Azure DevOps for source control. Users gain the benefits of planning, collaborating, and code development using Azure DevOps Git repository for Project management. This feature allows developers to log in to Azure DevOps via a token and manage their code for history, check-in, and checkout capabilities.
Enhances DB2 performance in DB Change Manager
DB Change Manager 18.7 users can take advantage of the added options in DB2 Data Synchronization to optimize performance, by maintaining data integrity, and therefore avoiding bottlenecks by making sure the data is accurate.
