PeopleStage Q1 2024 software release

New features and improvements

Single Database Multiple Schema mode

PeopleStage now uses the Single Database Multiple Schema (SDMS) mode, eliminating the need for SQL Server file system access. PeopleStage can now operate on various cloud databases, including Azure SQL Database. SDMS mode allows grouping tables under different schemas within a single database, enhancing your PeopleStage organisation and efficiency.

Single Database Multiple Schemas

For more information, see the technical update on Single Database Multiple Schemas (SDMS).

Bulk Copy Program

We have removed the Bulk Insert dependency in PeopleStage. By shifting away from bulk insert methods to Bulk Copy Program (BCP), this feature opens doors to previously excluded technologies like Azure SQL, enhancing compatibility and expanding usage possibilities.

For more information, see the technical update on Bulk Copy Program (BCP) integration.

Bug fixes

Fixed an error in PeopleStage when running a preview count. This error occurred specifically when the audience contained a content or broadcast journey and the previous audience in the campaign had not yet been run.
