Release Notes

Varigence is excited to release the 2027 version of the BimlStudio Integrated Developer Environment!

Breaking Change

The Biml language surface for ten retired Azure Data Factory connectors is removed in this release. Microsoft has removed these connectors from the Azure Data Factory service: nine were retired on 31 December 2024, and the Amazon Marketplace Web Service connector was removed after Amazon shut down the underlying MWS API on 31 March 2024. Existing pipelines that use them no longer execute, and new workloads cannot be created, so the connectors are non-functional in Azure Data Factory regardless of this change. The Biml AST nodes, build translators, and schema elements are removed for:

  • Amazon Marketplace Web Service (MWS)
  • Concur
  • Couchbase
  • Drill
  • HBase
  • Magento
  • Marketo
  • PayPal
  • Phoenix
  • Zoho

Projects that still reference these elements (linked services, datasets, or copy sources of the affected types) will report Biml schema errors in BimlStudio 2027. Before upgrading, remove the affected artifacts from your projects or replace them with a supported connector.

Breaking Change

The Biml language surface for five more retired Azure Data Factory connectors is removed in this release. The Azure Data Factory service retired these connector services on 31 December 2024. The Biml AST nodes, build translators, and schema elements are removed for:

  • Azure Database for MariaDB
  • Oracle Eloqua
  • Oracle Responsys
  • Oracle Service Cloud
  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Projects that still reference these elements (linked services, datasets, or copy sources of the affected types) will report Biml validation errors in BimlStudio 2027. Before upgrading, remove the affected artifacts from your projects or replace them with a supported connector.

Installation​

BimlStudio 2027 is installed and upgraded through a single consolidated installer.

Build number and download links will be published when BimlStudio 2027 is released.
