CHROME RIVER

Emburse Connect for Analytics Snowflake Client Driver Deprecation

For Chrome River customers who extract data directly out of the Emburse Data Warehouse into their own reporting environments, our data warehouse vendor, Snowflake, will be deprecating older clients for connecting to the warehouse in February 2025.

Based on the Snowflake Support policy, any client driver version lower than those listed below will no longer be supported beginning February 1, 2025.

  • Snowflake SnowSQL 1.2.24
  • Snowflake Python Connector 3.0.0
  • Snowflake JDBC Driver 3.13.27
  • Snowflake ODBC Driver 2.25.7
  • Snowflake Node.JS Driver 1.6.18
  • Snowflake Go Driver 1.6.17
  • Snowflake .NET Driver 2.0.20
  • Snowflake SQLAlchemy Driver 1.4.5
  • Snowflake PHP PDO 1.2.6
  • Snowflake Kafka 1.6.9
  • Snowflake Spark 2.11.1

We recommend all customers upgrade to the latest version of the relevant Snowflake driver to take advantage of important fixes and enhancements to security, performance, and other functions. Snowflake will not be able to assist with any issues related to versions that are no longer supported.

To check the driver version in use, you may now view the driver version information on the Query History tab under the Client Info column. Further details can be found on the Snowflake Client Version & Support Policy page.

Enhancements

CHROME RIVER

Invoice Spend Overview Dashboard Enhancements

For Chrome River INVOICE customers, we have updated the Invoice Spend Overview dashboard so the Aging Invoice Spend by Bucket and Top 100 Vendors By Aging Bucket tiles only include invoices that are in draft, pending, or approved status. This is more closely aligned with the intent of the dashboard to show the aging of invoices that have not yet been exported, allowing your organization to keep a track of open spend commitments.

New Field for Emburse Connect for Analytics

Chrome River customers who subscribe to Emburse Connect for analytics will see an extended ExpenseLineApprovalStep view with a new field: ExpenseReportLineID. This enables you to join to the routing view at a Line level, rather than at an Allocation level, to report on all steps. This can be especially useful if your organization’s approvers frequently change allocations.
