What's New in 26.1.0.IF02

The following list mentions the new features and changes to existing features, in HCL Detect for version 26.1.0.IF02:

Action-Based Real-Time Event Processing: Introduced action-based trigger evaluation and a UI for configuring action-based pipelines, streamlining the flow from event detection to execution and enabling more responsive customer journeys.
Enhanced Data Management and Connectivity: HTTP REST Connector as a Destination: Send real-time data directly to any third-party API or external web services by using an HTTP REST connector as a destination .; Storeback for Derived Attributes: Store derived attribute values back in the system to maintain profile data consistency.; Kafka Consumer Group Prefix: Enhanced the configuration (Affinium|suite|kafkaTopicConsumerGroupPrefix) to allow unique consumer group names, preventing cross-environment data interference.

Static Audience Set UI: Added a dedicated UI to create and manage fixed audience groups by uploading predefined identifier lists. This supports targeted campaigns, exclusion lists, and control-group creation.
Live Audience Conditions UI: Added dynamic audience definition capabilities with reusable rule-based conditions. Users can combine multiple profile-attribute conditions by using AND/OR logic for advanced segmentation.
Profile Management UI: Added a guided UI to create and manage profiles from database tables, map columns to attributes, define key identifiers, and track lifecycle states such as Draft, Active, and Master Profile.
Feed Application UI: Added a UI workflow to create and manage feed applications, configure Kafka and connectivity details, map incoming attributes to profile attributes, and publish feeds for pipeline usage.

Architecture Overhaul: Redesigned Engine: The Detect engine features a full architectural redesign that improves performance and ease of use.; External Infrastructure Support: Integrate directly with your Redis and Kafka deployments for increased scalability.
Modernized UI: Unica+ Theme Integration: The user interface is updated to match the Unica+ theme experience.
Unica Platform Integration: Unified Login: Standalone authentication has been removed to provide users with a unified, single-login experience across the Unica Platform.; Centralized Configuration: Manage configurations directly from the platform, eliminating the need to manually manage drive.json files.
No-Code Setup: Intuitive Configuration: Set up Detect quickly using a simplified, intuitive, no-code configuration process.
Clean Installation Support: For 26.1.0, Detect only supports clean installation, enabling new environments to be deployed with simplified setup and reduced manual configuration.
