Known issues🔗

Breaking changes🔗
From November 2025, Snowflake will remove the option for legacy systems to make use of usernames/passwords to connect to the Snowflake account. If you currently use username/password authentication for Snowflake connections, this will impact connector components that load data from Snowflake and cause jobs with those components to fail.
Matillion ETL supports the use of private keys to authenticate to Snowflake, and we recommend that you switch to using private keys as soon as possible if you are currently using username/password authentication. For more details of this authentication option, read Using Snowflake key-pair authentication.
Deprecations🔗
Due to the known security vulnerabilities in Python 2, Matillion will no longer offer support for this version of Python, and it will be deprecated in a future release of Matillion ETL. We recommend that you update any Python 2 scripts to Python 3 as soon as possible, or upgrade from Matillion ETL to the Data Productivity Cloud. The upgrade to the Data Productivity Cloud will automatically convert your Python 2 scripts to Python 3.
