== Additional release for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.5 (build 6769) (released 2024-06-27)==
There is a breaking change in 2021.4 related to using tags in custom expressions: If a tag provides a string value, before it was written e.g. ''Attribute("<#AutomationAttribute>")'', but now it needs to be written ''Attribute(<#AutomationAttribute>)'', because the quotation marks of the string literal now come with the value replacement. The former will cause error in 2021.4, as there will be two sets of quotation marks. This problem does not concern other type of values (e.g. numeric), as they don't have quotation marks.

'''Features:'''
QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client is deprecated in 2021.4 and will not be available starting from 2021.5. Scripts management and recycle bin are introduced in the web UI in 2021.4, bringing all functionality in the Excel Client available in the web UI. If you are having any issues when switching over to the web UI, please give us feedback through customercare@qpr.com and describe your process mining use case.
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
*B-08388: Added backend support for OCPM model perspectives to convert object-centric eventlogs into case-centric.
Scripts that are stored to the ''model'' or ''user'' context are not available in the scripting web UI (scripts in ''project'' and ''system'' context are available). If you have scripts in the model or user context, they need to be recreated in the project or system context using the Excel Client latest in 2021.4. Starting from 2021.5, scripts in the model or user context are preserved in the system, but cannot be used anymore (and they will be removed in a future release).
</div>

'''Fixed issues:'''
Tables used in dashboards are updated to the next generation of Syncfusion JS2 components. The [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Chart#Visualization_Settings|Custom layout]] settings (defined as JSON) of the table might not be compatible between the generations, and thus they need to be changed manually after updating to 2021.4. See instructions how to migrate settings between the generations of the component: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/grid/ej1-api-migration/.
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
*D-14187: Creating local datatables was not possible in Workspace if datatables were stored to the configuration database (i.e., SqlServerConnectionString setting is not used).
Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.4, the [[Data_Grid_Export_Service|Data Grid Export Service]] (used for exporting tables as Excel files) is not needed anymore. The renewed table is able to create export files in the browser side without using any server/cloud side service. If the Data Grid Export Service has previously been installed, it's recommended to uninstall it for security reasons (to reduce attack surface).
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
==QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.5 (build 6746) (released 2024-06-25)==
There is a new step in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server installation instructions for allowing large process mining models: [[Installing_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server#.Net_Configuration:_gcAllowVeryLargeObjects|.Net configuration: gcAllowVeryLargeObjects]]. The change should also be done for earlier QPR ProcessAnalyzer server versions if using models that have more than 50 million events.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
There is a potential performance issue with the list of models in the header, which may appear when there are dozens of models in the list. When there are lot of models, the models list jams the UI when opened. The next release (build 163) has solved the issue.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.1 does not have the '''Data Grid''' and '''HTML''' presentation objects, and they have been replaced by easier-to-use and more powerful [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Chart|Chart]] presentation object, which supports many layouts such as [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Table|tables]]. After updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.1, existing dashboards containing Data Grid and HTML presentation objects will contain a placeholder with a message that the presentation object doesn't exist. That placeholder can be removed and replaced with the Chart presentation object. If you need to preserve settings for the removed presentation objects, that needs to be done before updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.1.
The legacy User permissions report (analysis number 11) and Filters report (analysis number 30) used in SQL scripts have been removed. Use instead the expressions language to query filters and user permissions, e.g., [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Objects_in_Expression_Language#Filter|Models.Filters]] and [[Generic_Properties_in_Expression_Language#RoleAssignments|RoleAssignments]] property.

Data types of the datatables and temporary tables created by the [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Scripting_Commands#--.23ImportSapQuery|--#ImportSapQuery]] command has been changed: previously data types were NVARCHAR(255) for all columns. Now the maximum length in the NVARCHAR data type depends on the SAP data field length. This optimizes the space needed for data storage. In addition, there is a new parameter '''ConvertDataTypes''' allowing to specify which data types are converted correctly instead of using textual format.
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).

QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server and QPR ScriptLauncher are now using .Net 8 (previous was .Net 6). When updating to this release, install the .Net 8 Runtime ([[Updating_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server|see more]]). The .Net 6 doesn't need to be uninstalled immediately because .Net 6 and .Net 8 work side-by-side, but due to security reasons, the unused .Net 6 should eventually be uninstalled.

This release fixes the following performance issue '''219585: Showing models list blocks until model loadings have been completed'''. It caused the Model manager and list of models not to open while a model loading was in progress. This may have caused considerable performance degradation in environments where large models are loaded manually by users.
In this release, all filters that don't contain any filter rules, are removed. These are legacy filters which have not been visible in the UI.

The [[QPR ProcessAnalyzer Version Compatibility|database major version]] has changed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8, which means that earlier QPR ProcessAnalyzer releases are not compatible with the database that has been updated to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8. This needs to be taken into account in those environments where multiple versions of QPR ProcessAnalyzer server are run using the same database.

Eventlog data for the legacy models is removed from the database automatically when updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8. This leads to permanent loss of data if all the needed models are not converted into the datatable-based models before updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8. If there are model conversions to be done, install QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.6 that can be used at the same time with QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7 and make the conversions as described in the release notes for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7. After the conversion, update to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8 can be done (and QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.6 and 2020.7 be uninstalled). If you need help in converting your models, please contact customercare@qpr.com.
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.

The '''web.httpsOnly.config''' file included in the 2020.8 installation package is incorrect and it should not be used. If you need the web.httpsOnly.config file in your installation, please use the file available [[Web.HttpsOnly.config_for_2020.8|here]]. The issue has been fixed in the next release (build 113).
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.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8 brings a change in the server Web.config file which need to be taken into account in the update. The change concerns section ''configuration'' > ''runtime'' > ''assemblyBinding'' > ''bindingRedirect'' for ''Newtonsoft.Json'', where the new line is '''<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion="11.0.0.0" />'''.
Incorrectly configured [[Chart_Linked_Settings|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.

* D-13826: Measures or dimensions with case or event attribute and value selections incorrectly removed calculated attributes when dashboard was opened or chart settings were changed.
Support for the legacy models is dropped in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7, and the models need to be converted to the new datatable-based models before updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7. You can check the model type as follows: Open QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web UI, open the models dropdown list in the header, find the model, open ''Properties'' for the model, and go to the ''Datasources'' tab. If the ''Load from Database'' is ''yes'', the model is a legacy model and requires conversion.
*D-13821: Font size of some Highcharts tooltips was too small. Issue appeared when there were tooltips mappings in measures or dimensions.
*D-13810: Simplified help links: now all Help buttons go to the QPR ProcessAnalyzer wiki main page.
*D-13822: Snowflake clustering analysis showed empty strings and nulls as case attribute values in an unclear way as just nothing.


The conversion can be done as follows:
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.5 (build 3304) (released 2023-09-05)==
# In QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web UI, export the model as a .pacm file by clicking ''Export Model'' in the ''Model Properties'' (in the ''Actions'' tab).
 
# Go to the ''Datasources'' tab, change the ''Load from Database'' from ''Yes'' to ''No'', and change the ''Cases'' ''Datasource'' to ''Datatable''. The ''Events'' ''Datasource'' is already correct.
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
# Import the .pacm file back to the same model using the ''Data Import'' in the navigation menu. In the import form, select ''Import to Existing'' model and choose the model. Checkbox ''Add to existing data'' can be in either position.
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 [[Measure,_Dimension_and_Column_Settings#Other_settings|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.


Notes regarding the conversion:
Exmaple: Old configuration:
* Exporting and importing operations might take long time for very large models.
<pre>
* Model id's are not changed in the conversion.
"colorMappings": {
* Original filters and their id's are preserved but new duplicate filters are created during the import (which can be deleted).
  "1": "#36d475ff",
  "0": "#f5403bff"

  "true": "#36d475ff",
  "false": "#f5403bff"

QPR ProcessAnalyzer server installation has some files removed comparing to the previous version, because the WCF tester legacy functionality has been removed. Please note this, if updating the server by replacing the old files, because the files that need to be removed don't actually get removed with that method. The files to be removed are ''default.aspx'', ''favicon.ico'' and ''processanalyzer.png'' and folder ''scripts''.
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).

[[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Version_Compatibility|Excel Client protocol version]] is changed which requires to update QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client when updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7. See more how to [[Installing_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Excel_Client#Installing_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Excel_Client|update Excel Client]].
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]].
 
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):
<pre>
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;

The version numbering of QPR ProcessAnalyzer has changed, and now releases are identified using a simple version number instead of the previous version format (e.g. 2020.6.0.42152). The version number can be seen in the ''User Settings'' in the main navigation menu.
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.

See older releases in [[QPR ProcessAnalyzer Release Archive]]
 
'''Notes:'''
* Dashboards structure is simplified, as panels are removed and presentation objects are placed directly to the dashboard canvas. In addition, panel headers are not available anymore. Presentation objects have now background color, border color, border width and border corner radius, that were previously in the panel level. All existing dashboards are automatically migrated to the newer structure. Existing dashboards that have several presentation objects within a same panel, are positioned on top of the others, so in those cases presentation objects need to be repositioned manually after updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.5.
* IP address verification of user sessions has been removed. Previously, each user session was only allowed from the same IP address. This kind of security feature won't work with IPv6 addresses which usually change more often than IPv4 addresses.
 
'''Features:'''
* 307938: Support for French language.
* 307868: New dashboard designer that doesn't have panels.
* 307947: Tables conditional formatting
* 307948: Dashboard properties layout and terminology changes.
* 307911: IP address verification has been removed.
* 307931: Expression language and performance improvements (originated from Spark prototyping).
* 307774: Web API operation /api/importfile for data import.
* 307933: Default logging mode has been changed to ExclusiveLock for all components.
* 307904: Server side support for UI languages.
 
'''Fixed issues:'''
* 219372: Issue with simultaneous eventlog processing that caused "Value cannot be null" errors and sometimes calculation with incorrect eventlogs.
* 219375: --#CallWebService didn't work with Content-Type parameter.
* 219357: UI was stuck to IdP login page when SAML settings (e.g SAMLUserIdAttribute) were misconfigured.
* 219391: After logout GetOperationProgress failed for validating session.
* 219408: Removed focus outline border from buttons and textboxes.
* 219398: ETL Access denied CheckIsInProjectContext.
* 219373: Case.FlowOccurrences and Case.FlowOccurrencesByType have Variations preprocessing missing.
* 219382: Query for open operations should not return "open" operations that were started before the server startup time.
* 219402: Model with LoadOnStartup=true doesn't work with case level permission with expressions referring to current user.
* 219409: Filters containing event type and variation rules always filter out all cases.
* 219416: Error in model loading in startup can effect other model loading.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4 (released 2020-05-26) ==
Build number: 2020.4.0.41643, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33. ([[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Version_Compatibility|see more]])
 
'''Notes:'''
* In QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4, the deployment package dashboards come with the installation, so there is no deployment package anymore to be installed. The previous deployment package located in the ''QPR ProcessAnalyzer UI'' project can be deleted when 2020.4 is installed.
* To fix issue ''Datetimes are incorrect in files exported from data grids'' (219377), [[Data Grid Export Service|data grid export service]] needs to be updated from version V001 to V002.
* Issue workaround: After updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4, dashboards containing the root causes analysis give an error message about invalid chart configuration. The problem can be fixed as follows: from the JSON text that appears in the full screen text editor, make the following text replacements: "Case Attribute" --> "Case attribute" and "Attribute Value" --> "Attribute value". When the dashboard is saved, the error doesn't appear anymore.
* To improve performance, for custom expressions in charts it's recommended to replace ''??_remove'' with the [[Generic_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer#RemoveNulls|RemoveNulls]] function. Example: Expression ''Average((_.Attribute("Cost") ??_remove)._)'' can be changed to ''Average(RemoveNulls(_.Attribute("Cost")))''.
* To improve performance, for custom expressions in charts it's recommended to change expressions that make duration aggregations to work in a way that the aggregation is made before converting TimeSpans to integers (e.g. to days). Example: expression ''Average(_.Duration.TotalDays)'' can be changed to ''Average(_.Duration).TotalDays''.
* Issue: In Firefox, when opening a dashboard, an error message "Error in chart settings" might appear (the dashboard is still opened correctly). If the issue appears, it's recommended to use Chrome, where the issue does not appear that often. There are no other workarounds available for the issue.
* Issue: FlowOccurrences and FlowOccurrencesByType properties don't work for Case objects when there are also filter rules applied. Some measures and dimensions use those properties. QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.5 will fix the issue, and for earlier versions there is no workaround.
 
'''Features:'''
* 307859: Deployment package dashboards are embedded to QPR ProcessAnalyzer release.
* 307899: RemoveNulls function to remove null values from arrays.
* 307915: Expression language improvements related to CSV file generation.
* 307809: When dashboard is opened, editing mode is disabled when no rights to edit the dashboard.
* 307829: Highcharts, Syncfusion, GoJS and some other components have been updated to their latest versions.
* 307848: Component updates for building QPR ProcessAnalyzer UI.
* 307882: JavaScript libraries are split into smaller files in release build.
* 307932: Some PAPO buttons are removed from the tool palette.
* 307912&307917: ChartView and main header improvements for 2020.4 (parts 1 and 2).
 
'''Fixed bugs:'''
* 219365: Sometimes system stuck during the time models were being loaded into memory.
* 219326&219377: Datetimes are incorrect in files exported from data grids (time zone difference) (See also the notes above).
* 219378: ChartView resizing sometimes didn't work when using full screen.
* 219371: Error messages have been improved for session expired and unknown error.
* 219360: Some styles were defined twice in CSS.
 
== Additional release for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.3 (released 2020-04-23) ==
Build number: 2020.3.0.41450, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.
 
'''Features''':
* 307902 ChartView improvements for 2020.3 hotfix: Custom expressions have by default datatype "auto", added support for binding to multi-select lists in Variable bindings, bugfix: Custom sorting didn't work in presets, bugfix: Aggregation method for Pivot table was not selected correctly.
 
'''Fixed bugs:'''
* 219370: Dashboards could not be edited by other than administrators.
* 219361: Flowchart sometimes crashed to ThrowKeyNotFoundException when pressing Root Causes button.
 
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.3 (released 2020-04-16) ==
Build number: 2020.3.0.41413, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.
 
'''Notes:'''
* Legacy Chart and Gauge presentation objects are removed from QPR ProcessAnalyzer (they are different than ChartView). If there are dashboards containing those types of presentation objects after updating to 2020.3, there will be a placeholder frame instead with an error message of a non-existing presentation object. To change the dashboard, remove those placeholders and replace with ChartViews. It's recommended to make the replacement to ChartViews before the update, because chart and gauge settings cannot be accessed anymore in 2020.3.
* ChartView will change from an HTML presentation object to a native presentation object, which ensures that dashboards will work in future releases when the ChartView is evolving. ChartViews created with 2020.2 will be automatically migrated to the native ChartViews in 2020.3. ChartViews created with 2020.1 or earlier releases need to be updated manually by removing the ChartView from the dashboard and replacing it with a new ChartView.


'''Features:'''
* 307849: Securely stored strings for passwords.
* 307746: ChartView is now a native presentation object instead of an HTML presentation object. ChartView's made in 2020.2 are automatically converted to the native presentation objects.
* 307880: When a datatable model is moved to another project, the linked datatables should also be moved to the project.
* 307556: Functions to expression language to improve usability and performance: CaseCount, EventCount, EventCountByType and Round.
* 307895: SQL scripting command for database commit.
* 307850: Expression language performance improvement by a new way to calling functions and properties.
* 307858: Expression language: Support for array operators.
* 307845: Header buttons layout has been improved.
* 307870: Preprocessings are determined automatically.
* 307761: Functionality that user doesn't have access is now disabled in the dashboard designer and workspace to avoid access denied errors.
* 307839: Generic chart and gauge presentation objects are removed.
* 307863: Automatic redirection to SAML authentication.
* 307872: API support for querying if SAML is configured.
* 307846: Error message further improvements.
* 307888: Error message text changes for Dashboard not found and Multiple dashboards found.
* 307874 & 307887: ChartView and main header has been improved.
'''Fixed bugs:'''
* 219341: Analysis function unnecessarily required FilterId parameter.
* 219343: Root causes analysis gave access denied when using Analysis function.
* 219348: Query cancellation caused database connection leakage.
* 219332: "Thread was being aborted" returned to client while loading model from datatable.
* 219321: Removed unnecessary error log lines "Missing expected HttpRequest X-Forwarded-For" that appeared even if UseXForwardedForAsClientIp=false.
* 219335: [_remove ]._ or empty array is not handled correctly in a KPI dimension.
* 219340: default.aspx does not work.
* 219330: EditDashboards permission should be needed for target project when moving dashboards between projects.
* 219347: Queries done by the main header were cancelled when view is changed.
* 219355: Expression language: Was unable to use properties of the parent context in dictionary initialization.
* 219346: PAPO flowchart should have by default median duration shown on flows and flow counts hidden.
* 219333: PAPO generated incorrect filter JSON and unnecessary query.
* 219311: When opened a view by identifier, the view was fetched twice from the server.
* 219329: Unnecessary information was stored in database for dashboard definitions.
* 219362: Issues with session expiration checks.
* 219364: Session expiration with SAML authentication configured gives incorrect error message.
* 219344: Case count view in model manager header and Home view can cause unwanted model loading.
* 219242: Flowchart is not updated correctly after event type filtering.

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: When filtering charts in Snowflake, case attribute filter is created instead of case id filter.
  • B-08091: New setting to define whether cases or events are filtered by default.
  • B-08091: New preset "Looping paths" to detect whether there are repeating patterns of events.
  • 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.

Fixed issues:

  • D-13876: In CreateSnowflakeConnection function, ProjectId parameter is optional when OdbcConnectionStringKey is not specified.
  • D-13898: Snowflake: Exclude case attribute filter didn't work when there was null values and was selecting at least two values.

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.
