Latest TFNRegistry™ Release Brings New Enhancements!

With the July TFNRegistry™ release, Somos is introducing a new API-based model for accessing SFTP/SQL.net data. This update begins the migration from direct SQL database access and SFTP-based bulk requests to a more flexible, scalable API solution. 

We understand transitions like this take time. Because of that, we are not expecting customers to switch overnight. Instead, we'll have an overlap period where both the existing SFTP/SQL.net access method and the new API solution will be available simultaneously. This will give teams time to become familiar with the new APIs, update existing processes and plan their migration with confidence. 

This new approach is designed to modernize how customers retrieve SFTP/SQL.net data by replacing separate access methods with a more unified API-based process.

*NEW* API-Based Access for SFTP/SQL.net Data

Today, customers typically retrieve data in one of two ways. For standard queries, users connect directly to the SQL database to retrieve results. For larger datasets or bulk information, requests are generally submitted through SFTP, and results are made available once processing is complete. With the new model, that process becomes more streamlined. Instead of connecting directly to the SQL database or submitting requests through SFTP, users will submit requests through an API. Once the request is received, the system will generate and return a Bulk ID. Customers can then use that Bulk ID to view the results. 

This update will help customers: 

• Access SFTP/SQL.net data through a modern API-based model 

• Support more flexible and scalable data retrieval 

• Simplify standard and bulk request workflows 

• Reduce reliance on direct SQL database connections and SFTP-based submissions

As customers begin using the new APIs, we also welcome feedback to help ensure the new model supports their operational needs.
