A few months ago, we introduced the new join processor, designed to handle joins on large datasets with no size limits.          On November 30, all joins using the old processor will be automatically migrated to the new one, which will permanently replace it.Recommended actions before November 30 ⚠️ Automatic migrations by Huwise will trigger a full reprocessing of the affected datasets at their next manual or scheduled publication. If you have datasets that are updated regularly and require a long processing time, we recommend anticipating the automatic migration by updating your joins with the new processor now. We’re here to help if you need support. Since the new processor does not behave exactly the same as the old one due to the improvements made, we encourage you to check how it works on your datasets using older joins, especially those with keys starting with “0.” If you notice differences in results with the new join, you can adapt your data by adding back the missing leading zeros. If you use spreadsheet tools (Excel, etc.) to prepare your data, make sure to format your codes as “text” to avoid losing the leading zero. Have questions or need help?Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or post your questions directly on this Community post. We’ll be happy to respond and guide you through the process.

They are now fully compatible with the latest version of DCAT-AP-CH (v2) and its recent updates.🚀 By using this metadata template, your portals will be fully harvestable by opendataswiss, the Swiss national portal. Indeed, opendataswiss has recently updated its metadata validation system in line with DCAT-AP-CH v2.⚠️ Until opendataswiss migrates to opendata.swiss next (planned for 2026), importing non-compliant metadata on opendataswiss will remain possible but will trigger error emails. We therefore recommend updating your DCAT-AP-CH metadata now for optimal harvesting.💡 What should you pay particular attention to?opendataswiss checks are now more thorough. All mandatory metadata must be present and accurate. The compliance of recommended and optional properties, if provided, is also checked. Make sure to review the completeness and accuracy of your metadata.  the dct:license metadata replaces dct:rights. The dct:license metadata refers to the terms of use of datasets on opendataswiss. It is mandatory and can only take four values (defined here). We have integrated this new metadata into our Opendatasoft DCAT-AP-CH template, and you can directly choose from the four possible values in the back office. the dct:rights metadata now serves to specify the dataset’s license only in the specific case where it falls under one of the three Creative Commons licenses defined here. The dct:rights metadata is displayed when the dataset is published on data.europa.eu but not on opendataswiss. In the Opendatasoft DCAT-AP-CH export, dct:rights will be generated from the license metadata in the Dataset template, if it matches one of the three allowed CC licenses. The former dct:rights field in the Opendatasoft DCAT-AP-CH template is deprecated and should no longer be used.📖 ResourcesFor full details on the DCAT-AP-CH v2 template, see the official documentation. For full details on the metadata validation system implemented by opendataswiss, see their handbook.

From September 30, our extraction system for FTP and SFTP sources will be updated to ensure better consistency between your published datasets and their original source.🔎 What’s changingCurrently, extracted files are cached even if they are deleted from the source. With the new process, only files that are present in your external source at the time of republishing will be kept. Deleted files will no longer be retained in Opendatasoft.👉 Actions to take before September 30If there are deleted files still stored in your cache, you can:Keep them by adding them back to your source, or by exporting your current dataset and reintegrating it into the source. Permanently delete them by clearing the cache for the relevant datasets, starting from a clean slate.         🚀 Benefits of this updateFaster and smoother loading in the back office Data is always aligned with your external source Improved traceability of extraction errors💡 Need help?Contact your Customer Success Manager, our Support team.

This connector allows you to retrieve pedestrian and cyclist counting data from the Eco-Visio platform, with more than 20,000 counters installed in 50 countries. 🌎 🚀 New updateThe connector has been updated to use Eco-Counter’s API v2. Until now, the connector relied on API v1, which will be deprecated by the end of the year. We have also added a new filtering parameter, allowing you to retrieve only the data from the counting sites you need—without having to import everything!👉 Useful informationMandatory migration: Existing connectors must be recreated as a new API key (v2) is required and must be generated from the Eco-Counter platform.
