What's New in Precision Bridge 10

Precision Bridge 10 is a major release that introduces a redesigned interface and new capabilities for data migration.

Updated User Interface

The entire user interface has been rebuilt from the ground up with a modern, responsive design. The new UI provides a more intuitive experience for designing and managing migration projects, with improved navigation and real-time feedback.

Procedures

The most significant new feature in PB10 is Procedures -- a way to construct migrations as a logical process consisting of a series of ordered steps. Procedures allow you to:

Break complex migrations into manageable, reusable steps
Define input and output variables that flow between steps
Chain operations together (extract, transform, load, validate)
Call other procedures for modular workflow design
Iterate over lists of values for batch processing

If you're familiar with previous Precision Bridge versions, Procedures replace and extend the concept of standalone Form Mappings by providing a structured workflow around them.

New Step Types

Beyond the core "Migrate Records" step (formerly known as Form Mappings), PB10 introduces several additional step types:

Extract Records — Extract data without sending it to a target, for intermediate processing
Create Tables — Automatically create table schemas on target connections
Assign Variables — Set or update procedure variables between steps
Call API Endpoint — Make HTTP requests to any API connection
Call Procedure — Trigger another procedure within the same project
Iterate — Loop execution of a procedure over a list of values
Run Script — Execute a user-authored Python script in an isolated subprocess for bespoke transformations or artifact generation
Wait For Condition — Poll an external system on a fixed interval until a condition is met or a timeout is reached

New Adaptors

PB10 supports an expanded set of data source adaptors, making it easier to connect to a wider range of enterprise systems and data formats.

Enhanced Field Mappings

Field mappings now support a broader set of transformation options, including:

Formula mappings with a rich expression language
Match mappings for choice field translation
Lookup mappings for cross-table value retrieval
ID mappings with table correlation support
Mapping Variables for reusable intermediate calculations

Table Correlations

A new correlation system tracks the relationship between source and target record IDs across migration steps, simplifying parent-child and reference field migrations.
