These enhancements were added for all platforms unless specified in the title for a specific platform.
Flow Service Available to Environments Created before August 2023 (AWS)
To use Flow in August 2023, you had to create a new environment. Now Flow is available to environments created before that date. Log on to the VantageCloud Lake Console with a username that has UI login enabled and the TD_FLOW_COMPOSER or TD_FLOW_ADMIN database role. See Using Flow from the VantageCloud Lake Console.
Data Copy
Data Copy allows you to copy data between VantageCloud Lake and other Vantage systems. Data Mover is integrated into VantageCloud Lake and rebranded as Data Copy.
- Copy data between VantageCloud Lake AWS and other Vantage systems (VantageCore (on-premises) or VantageCloud Enterprise AWS).
- Use VantageCloud Lake Console for self-provisioning of Data Copy, managing the service, and creating and executing data copy plans.
- Use QueryGrid to perform full or partial table copies.
See Data Copy.

Simple Query Builder
You can use the Simple Query Builder in the VantageCloud Lake Console to write SQL and explore data in a self-service manner. See Use the Simple Query Builder.
Object File System Files Are Column-Partitioned (Parquet) by Default
By default, CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE AS statements now create Object File System (OFS) files as column-partitioned (Parquet) files. To create row-partitioned OFS files, specify the NOT PARTITIONED clause. See CREATE TABLE and CREATE TABLE AS (Object File System Table Form).
Consumption Usage Available for Profiles
You can view consumption usage by profiles. Drill down on an environment on the Consumption page to view the environment’s profiles usage. This helps you assess overall usage, and manage costs based on usage. See Review Consumption Usage.
