UPDATED: Simplified data object classes and regenerated typed DataSet classes
UPDATED: Docker base set to .NET Runtime 8.0 and .NET SDK to 8.0
REMOVED: Removed fall back Settings File Key generation from machine value. Now must be provided via --settingsfilekey argument or sbm-settingsfilekey Environment variable
ADDED:--settingsfilekey is no longer required when a Key Vault Name is provided. This will bypass any settings file decryption and only retrieve the secrets directly from Key Vault
NEW: For muti-database target builds, you can now specify custom concurrency tag. Previously, the only concurrency differentitor was by SQL Server Name. Please see the docs on Concurrency and Database targeting options to understand how to use this new feature.
UPDATED: DACPAC creation timeouts now set to the value of --defaultscripttimeout. Previously, it was using the default settings.
UPDATED: If a script package is failing after retries due to a timeout, the build will now immediately fail. The prior behavior was to create a custom DACPAC (if configured) and continue trying the build. This was just delaying the inevitable failure and wasting time.
Version 15.4.2
UPDATED: Converted Batch Node Pool creation to the new Azure.ResourceManager.Batch SDK. NOTE: This may require you to add batch specific NSG rules if you deploy into a subnet. See network.bicep’snsgBatchResource resource to see the rules that are needed.
UPDATED: Changed the test environment creation from az CLI commands to Bicep templates/modules
UPDATED: Modified/refactored internal handling of Manged Identity Client ID
ADDED: New EventHub logging type of ScriptErrors which will event out any script error messages that occur during execution
UPDATED: Optional feature to have Eventhub monitoring to attempt to create a custom consumer group to avoid any event read conflicts. The running identity must have “Event Hub Owner” RBAC priviledges and there are also two new arguments --ehrg/--eventhubresourcegroup and --ehsub/--eventhubsubscriptionid which would need to be provided. If these are not all met, it will continue to use the existing $Default. The custom consumer group will be deleted after run is complete.
UPDATED:sbm utility eventhub now accepts a --jobname=all to query all events, --timeout in seconds for how long to continue to monitor after the last event is received and --eventhubresourcegroup/--ehrg, --eventhubsubscriptionid/--ehsub, --storageaccountname and --storageaccountkey arguments to support the new optional feature to create a custom consumer group. The storage account is used for the consumer checkpointing
Version 15.4.0
FIXED: Corrected bug #386 - sbm batch * were not properly handling the --authtype ManagedIdentity argument ()
FIXED: Corrected bug #387 - The path for the --targetdacpac was not getting trimmed to just the file name when getting sent to the Batch nodes
UPDATED Including Managed Identity client ID as SQL connection user ID property when using --authtype ManagedIdentity argument
UPDATED: Added ability for sbm utility override to accept --settingsfile, --settingsfilekey and identity arguments
UPDATED: Changed sbm dacpac command to accept --settingsfile, --settingsfilekey and identity arguments (previously only accepted SQL authentication via --username and --password)

ADDED: New argument --stream for sbm k8s monitor and sbm aci monitor as a flag whether or not to output the individual database commit/errors messages. Default is false
Batch node pools are now created with assigned Managed Identities. Because of this, the workstation running sbmneeds to have a valid Azure authentication token. This can be done via Azure CLI az login, Azure PowerShell Connect-AzAccount, or if running from an automation box, ensure that the machine itself has a Managed Identity that has permissions to create Azure resources. Alternatively, you can pre-create the batch pools manually via the Azure portal, being sure to assign the correct Managed Identity to the pool.
The keys, connection strings and passwords can now be stored in Azure Key Vault rather than saving the encrypted values in a settings file or being passed in via the command line. Regardless if you use Batch, Kubernetes or ACI , this integration is enabled by leveraging User Assigned Managed Identities. To easily accomplish this setup, there are a set of PowerShell scripts in the scripts/templates folder. A complete environment can be created with create_azure_resources.ps1. Please note that Azure Key Vault is required for Azure Container Instance builds.
NEW: You can now use Kubernetes as a compute platform for leveraging database builds with the new sbm k8s commands. See the Kubernetes documentation for background, information and how-to examples
NEW: You can now use Azure Container Instance as a compute platform for leveraging database builds with the new sbm aci commands. See the ACI documentation for background, information and how-to examples
ADDED: New Azure Key Vault integration – secrets can now be stored in Key Vault and no longer need to be stored in the settings file or passed via command line. See the documentation here
IMPORTANT: Batch node pools are now created with assigned Managed Identities. Because of this, the workstation running sbm needs to have a valid Azure authentication token. This can be done via Azure CLI az login, Azure PowerShell Connect-AzAccount, or if running from an automation box, ensure that the machine itself has a Managed Identity that has permissions to create Azure Batch resources.
UPDATED: Automation scripts /scripts/templates have been updated to simplify the creation of Azure resources, runtime, secrets file and pushing secrets to Key Vault
UPDATED: Batch and Kubernetes now have Managed Identity assigned to allow seamless access to Key Vault
UPDATED: The sbm create command now has four sub-commands fromscripts, fromdiff, fromdacpacs and fromdacpacdiff. See the Command Line Reference for details and usage
NOTE: The sbm scriptextract command is being deprecated in favor of sbm create fromdacpacdiff and will be removed in a future release
UPDATED: Corrected how the sbm build local build command handles logging. It is now all encapsulated in the .sbm file as it should be
ADDED: New command sbm add to add scripts to an existing SBM package or SBX project file from a list of scripts
ADDED: New command sbm list to output script information of SBM packages (run order, script name, date added/modified, user info, script ids, script hashes)
UPDATED: The sbm create command can now also create an SBX project file, not just an SBM package
UPDATED: Tabular output for sbm policycheck command to make it easier to read. Defaulting enterprise config to GitHub file.
FIXED: Update to Dacpac change scripts to identify new header delimiter
FIXED: Issue creating scripts between incompatible SQL Server versions. Will now output a warning and continue to create the scripts with the flag AllowIncompatiblePlatform=true
ADDED: New command sbm create to create a new SBM file from a list of scripts
UPDATED: Can now use Windows authentication for DACPAC creation
FIXED: Updated distribution algorithm for --concurrencytype of Server and MaxPerServer when number of Batch nodes is very close to the number of SQL Server targets. Was yielding less than the number of nodes.

ADDED: New option to leverage Azure Service Bus Topic as a database target source. See the Azure Batch docs for more detail
ADDED: New command option --settingsfilekey, a key for the encryption of sensitive information in the settings file. If provided when saving the settings file, it of course must also be provided when using the settings file. This version moved away from a static (and not really secure) encryption key used prior. The argument value can be either the key string or a file path to a key file. The key may also be ‘silently’ provided by setting a sbm-settingsfilekey Environment variable. If not provided a machine value will be used.
FIXED: Modified unit tests to Close and Flush loggers to avoid file locking issues

Version 10.4.3
ADDED: New utility /Action=SaveSettings and /SettingsFile argument for simple reuse of settings.
Version 10.4.2
ADDED: Added Batch pool handling /Action=BatchPreStage so that Pools can be created in advance of needing the compute. Avoids the waiting “cold start” of a batch job

NOTE: Also available from the script list context menu “View object change history as run by Sql Build Manager” when you have selected a scriptable database object (stored proc, trigger, view, etc)
FIXED: Trigger scripting error when scripting via “Scripting -> Add Object Create Scripts -> Triggers”. Was always producing the “UPDATE” trigger.
Version 8.6.8

FIXED: Logging error when running command-line remote execution
Version 8.6.5
FIXED: Script tag was not getting inferred when using the Action -> Add New File menu option
FIXED: Package hash was not changing when scripts were reordered. It will now be different because the execution order can effect the final state of the database and as such the hash should be different
Version 8.6.4
NOTE:ATTENTION! Due to a change in the parsing algorithm for scripts, hash values may differ between this version and prior versions of the tool! UPDATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
UPDATED: Changed the ad hoc query working directory from the user’s temp folder to a hidden subfolder of the destination file. This is to avoid issues with lack of storage.
ADDED: Ability to set script timeout for ad hoc queries.
UPDATED: Modified the batching of scripts to ignore “GO” delimiter in a comment block. This may effect the hash value of some scripts but 99% of the ones I have tested are unchanged. For the 1%, they may get a “changed” icon when in fact they were not changed.
UPDATED: Changed highlight color in “diff” view to be more obvious on all monitors
ADDED: Additional database logging: build package hash value, user id of requestor from a remote execution, and the version number of the Sql Build Manager used to execute the run
