New version of the Design diagram component has been improved with object-specific measures, and the previous common measures are not migrated into object-specific measures. Thus, the measures need to be configured again, or manually edit the chart json settings (if needed please ask instructions from QPR CustomerCare).
* Influence Analysis for Case Attributes has been simplified. The feature presents basic information relating to the root causes when it is opened. If further information is needed, this can be accessed via the feature menu.
</div>
* DataGrids support Excel exporting. You are now able to export data from fixed dashboards featuring datagrids. With this feature, you can take your data for further manipulation using Microsoft Excel.
* Chartview has been improved with a new layout and excel exporting. The new layout allows for quicker access to creating charts using the ChartView tool. With the exporting functionality, the views created are exported for use in presentations in Microsoft Excel.
* KPI Expression Language has been added with support for Influence Analysis for Case Attributes. This allows for further creation of dashboards with specific analysis result queries. Using the KPI expression language, dashboards can be made to present up-to-date data based on influence analysis results.
* Dataset tag support for data visualization. Adding dataset tags will help in creating more dynamic chart presentations as the data can be inserted into the JSON settings of charts and datagrids.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2017.6 (release date 2017-08-15) ==
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.6 (build 3847) (released 2023-10-17)==
Build number: 2017.6.0.36561, Model compatibility version: 2, Database version: 57, Stream version: 7.


'''Release Highlights:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* The major feature of this release is the support for Multiwindow Process Analysis. Need to create new, custom views for specific analysis? It's now possible with the customizable dashboards offered.
Big data chart support of models with local datatables (i.e., SQL Server stored) is removed in this release. If there are big data charts using SQL Server calculation, either migrate data to Snowflake or switch to in-memory charts (requiring to load data in-memory).
* If you want to take dashboard customization even further, you can now add SVG Backgrounds to views and panels. You can make your dashboards look more impressive by adding a SVG image to it.
</div>
* For powerful analysis, the new version offers a table view for Profiling Analysis. For larger datasets with multiple attributes, this is an extremely useful feature as you can easily profile the data with the table.
* If you want to do accurate lead time analysis, you will find the table view for Duration Analysis very useful. The data presented in the tables offers you accurate data and can be used for further analysis.
* Managing navigation and creating links for dashboards has been furthered with the addition of Identifier Support. You can now give your dashboards identifiers that you choose, making your dashboard management much easier.
* For more under the hood features, we implemented  dynamic tag support. Dynamic tags allow you to add functional behaviour to dashboards by specifying set context variables. This will lead to more responsive dashboards!
* Finally, we redesigned the zoom buttons. Not only did we redesign the buttons, but we implemented into the analysis window! By adding a zoom button to the analysis window, we now offer you the chance more control on the visualization of the analysis.

Following legacy analyses have been removed: Operation log (analysis number: 12), Root causes (14), Correlations (15), Idea feed (16) and Duration influence (29). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23GetAnalysis|--#GetAnalysis]] command), and thus needs to be changed to the [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23RunQuery|--#RunQuery]] command (see the [[RunQuery_Script_Examples|examples page]] how each legacy analysis can be replaced). The OperationLog analysis is replaced by the [[Generic_Properties_in_Expression_Language#OperationLog|OperationLog function]] and the Infcluencers analysis is replaced by the [[FindRootCauses_Function|FindRootCauses function]].


'''Fixed bugs:'''
Following script can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration):

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.7 (build 4326) (released 2023-11-28)

Limitation for the maximum amount of data (B-07636) causes a behavior change in in-memory charts that have the Maximum rows settings empty and have the sorting defined. In certain cases, the order in which measures are evaluated changes (due to an internal performance optimization). If there are custom expressions that define variables, the variables may not be available in other measures anymore. As a resolution, either redefine the variables in those measure expressions or add those measures secondarily to the sorting.

Default query timeout of 30 minutes has been added for --#ImportOdbcQuery, --#ImportSqlQuery and --#ImportOleDbQuery commands. If a query run is taking longer than the timeout, the query is stopped. The timeout can be adjusted using the QueryExecutionTimeout parameter. Previously, there has been no timeout, so queries that take more than 30 minutes require configuring a longer timeout.

Incorrectly configured linked settings in charts (available in the Advanced tab) give now an error message, if they are referring to non-existing measures, dimensions or columns. Previously, incorrect linked settings were ignored. To fix the error message, remove the incorrect linked settings.

Features:

  • B-07511: Datatables have a dialog to view datatable properties, write description, set the Snowflake source table, add/modify/delete columns, and set the datatable key.
  • B-08150: Added setting Apply chart filters first to determine whether chart filter rules or dashboard filter rules are applied first when chart queries are filtered.

  • B-08091: Duration between events calculation ignores negative durations in Snowflake.
  • B-08091: Chart loading animation has been renewed.
  • B-07636: To prevent dashboards from jamming when querying too much data, added limitations to the amount of data that charts can visualize. Note that the limitation concerns the aggregated data that is visualized, not the source event log data.
  • B-08017: Dashboards API has been added to expression language, allowing to create, modify and delete dashboards in scripts.
  • B-08056: Following properties have been added to user objects in expression language: IsLocked, LastLockedDate, LastLoginDate.
  • B-08053: User rights report has been refactored to use RoleAssignments property in the expression language. The change also simplifies the report as now it only shows the direct role assignments that are visible in the User Management.
  • B-08151: For Snowflake expressions support for following windowing functions: sum, average, median, min, and max.
  • B-08050: When a model is created, the default filter is not created anymore (this is a refactoring that doesn't have any impact on user interface).
  • B-08123: Translation updates for 2023.7.
  • B-08092: Updated backend components.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.5 (build 3304) (released 2023-09-05)

In Big Data Chart, the Case conformance measure and dimension has changed in a way that now it provides boolean values (true/false) instead of integer values (1/0). If colorMappings are used for this measure or dimension to set specific colors to visualize conformant and nonconformant cases, the mapped values need to be changed as follows: 1 -> true and 0 -> false. Without the change, the mapped colors are not effective.

Exmaple: Old configuration: 

"colorMappings": {
  "1": "#36d475ff",
  "0": "#f5403bff"
}

New configuration: 

"colorMappings": {
  "true": "#36d475ff",
  "false": "#f5403bff"
}

Big data chart support of models with local datatables (i.e., SQL Server stored) is deprecated. Big data chart has allowed to process data both in Snowflake and SQL Server. Now the support for SQL Server is deprecated and the Big data chart will only support calculation in Snowflake. If there are big data charts using SQL Server calculation, either migrate data to Snowflake or switch to in-memory charts (requiring to load data in-memory).

Following legacy analyses have been removed: Operation log (analysis number: 12), Root causes (14), Correlations (15), Idea feed (16) and Duration influence (29). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in --#GetAnalysis command), and thus needs to be changed to the --#RunQuery command (see the examples page how each legacy analysis can be replaced). The OperationLog analysis is replaced by the OperationLog function and the Infcluencers analysis is replaced by the FindRootCauses function.

Following script can be run in the Expression Designer to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration): 

let removedAnalyses = [12, 14, 15, 16, 29];
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.("'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')").{let num=_;(scr.code ?? "").Replace(" ", "").Replace("\t", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\r\n", "").Replace("\r", "").Contains(num)})>0;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (id: " + id + ") (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");

By default, Snowflake ODBC driver generates quite much logging to files which might unnecessarily fill up the disk space. It's recommended to set the LogLevel parameter to value 0. The path where the logs are created can be seen in Windows registry (key LogPath). More information about configuring Snowflake ODBC parameters: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/odbc/odbc-parameters.
