• New support for SAP Business Data Cloud data products: Register your SAP BDC data products with Cortex Framework for expanded use case opportunities on top.
• New solution samples features: Consumption data product samples for SAP ERP and SAP BDC can now be easily deployed on top of Cortex Framework managed data products.
• New v6 compatibility for SAP reporting: Provides an option to use Cortex Framework version 6 delivered SAP BigQuery data models within the version 7 architecture to support customers looking to migrate while continuing to use v6 delivered Looker reports.

Supportability and operations:

• New observability features: Enhanced error reporting and pipeline monitoring.
• New environment management and operations features: Gain deeper control over deployments with the option to provide compilation overrides that integrate cleanly with Dataform release configurations.
