# Single Message Transforms

## 1.3.2

Adds support for multiple "from" patterns.

This converts the `format.from.pattern` field in the following SMTs:

* `InsertFieldTimestampHeaders`
* `InsertRollingFieldTimestampHeaders`
* `TimestampConverter`

into a List (comma separated) so that these SMTs can support multiple (fallback) DateTimeFormatter patterns should multiple timestamps be in use.

### Configuration Compatibility

{% hint style="warning" %}
When updating your configuration, if `format.from.pattern` contains commas, enclose the pattern in double quotes.
{% endhint %}

Configurations should be backwards-compatible with previous versions of the SMT, the exception is if commas are used in the `format.from.pattern` string.

To update the configuration of `format.from.pattern` ensure you enclose any pattern which contains commas in double quotes.

#### Old Configuration:

```
format.from.pattern=yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss,SSS
```

#### New Configuration

```
format.from.pattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss,SSS"
```

Multiple `format.from.pattern` can now be configured, each pattern containing a comma can be enclosed in double quotes:

```
format.from.pattern=yyyyMMddHHmmssSSS,"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss,SSS"
```

### Configuration Order

When configuring `format.from.pattern`, the order matters; less granular formats should follow more specific ones to avoid data loss. For example, place `yyyy-MM-dd` after `yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss` to ensure detailed timestamp information isn't truncated.

## 1.3.1

Increase error information for debugging.

## 1.3.0

Adds support for adding metadata to kafka connect headers (for a source connector).

## 1.2.1

Workaround for Connect runtime failing with unexplained exception where it looks like the static fields of parent class is not resolved prop.

## 1.2.0

Adds support for inserting time based headers using a Kafka message payload field.

## 1.1.2

Fix public visibility of rolling timestamp headers.

## 1.1.1

Don't make CTOR protected.

## 1.1.0

Introducing four new Single Message Transforms (SMTs) aimed at simplifying and streamlining the management of system or record timestamps, along with support for rolling windows. These SMTs are designed to significantly reduce the complexity associated with partitioning data in S3/Azure/GCS Sink based on time, offering a more efficient and intuitive approach to data organization. By leveraging these SMTs, users can seamlessly handle timestamp-based partitioning tasks, including optional rolling window functionality, paving the way for smoother data management workflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lenses.io/latest/connectors/release-notes/single-message-transforms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
