Data Platform had formerly listed a collection of Microsoft SQL Server components as offline prerequisites. These were prerequisites because they are instrumental for connecting with Microsoft SQL environments. Data Platform now ships with the requisite components to connect with MS SQL Server environments. As of Data Platform version 5.5.78, the Microsoft SQL Server components previously listed as offline prerequisites are now embedded in the Data Platform installer and deployment is managed by the installer. After upgrading to the latest version, customers will no longer need to download and transfer the Microsoft SQL Server components when installing onto a machine without Internet access.

Fixed an issue in which a new Publish schema was being erroneously created during execution. This issue arose due to use of existing Publish database objects. Now existing objects are used only when Analyze objects are available; otherwise, the logic creates a new Publish schema during execution.
