== Future Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.6 (planned release date 2020-08-18) ==  
== Next Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2025.2 (planned release 2025-03-04) ==
Build number: 2020.6.0.xxxxx, Model compatibility version: x, Database version: xx, PACM file version: x, Protocol version: xx.


'''Notes:'''
[[Next_Release_Content|See plan for next release features and fixes]]
* The legacy process mining models are not supported anymore, and they need to be migrated manually to new models before updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.6. The new models use datatables to store events and cases. You can check the model type as follows: Open QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web UI, open the models dropdown list in the header, find a 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 a migration. The migration can be done by exporting the model as a .pacm file (in the ''Actions'' tab from model properties), and importing the file back using the ''Import Data'' functionality. It's also recommended to delete the legacy models. The eventlog data for the legacy models is not yet removed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.6 and thus it's possible to rollback to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.5 if needed. The eventlog data for the legacy models will be removed in a future release to save space in the database.


'''Features:'''
== Latest Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2025.1 (build 9124) (released 2025-01-23) ==


'''Fixed issues:'''
New features presentation: [https://files.qpr.com/releases/QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_2025_1.pdf QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_2025_1.pdf]


== Next Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.5 (planned release date 2020-06-26) ==  
===New features===
Build number: 2020.5.0.xxxxx, Model compatibility version: x, Database version: xx, PACM file version: x, Protocol version: xx.
* B-08526: Variations and other lists can be visualized with colors, and "List separator" field is available for dimensions and columns.
* B-08530: Charts can have a [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Chart#Visual_Settings|description text]] which are shown in a dialog when pressing the info button.
* B-08546: Added [[SQL_Expressions#LLMComplete|LlmComplete]] function to access Snowflake Cortex large language models.
* B-08439: Added project settings [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Project_Workspace#Project-level_Snowflake_Database_and_Schema|DatabaseNameInDataSource and SchemaNameInDataSource]] to define Snowflake database and schema.
* B-08531: Projects can be created in expression language using [[Generic_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer#CreateProject|CreateProject]] function.
* B-08387: Added backend support for object-centric model [[Filtering_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Queries#Object-centric_filter_rules|filtering for object attributes]].


'''Notes:'''
===Fixed issues===
* 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.
* D-14339: Week numbers showed incorrect year for last dates in the end of year.
* 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.
* D-14323: Filtering with "Split data by filtering" dimension didn't work with exclude type of filter rules and when there were multiple filter rules.
* D-14346: Fixed issue where manual activation using activation utility didn't work.
* D-14326: Fixed issue where extra columns in objects table broke object-centric model.
* D-14306: Fixed issue when there were both TimeStamp and ToTimeStamp event data columns.
* D-14332: Flowchart event type and flow queries are now simultaneous which will improve performance.
* D-14331: Flowchart lost selection when flowchart used linked variables with array values.
* D-14299: Table text filters didn't work in Snowflake (starts with, ends with, contains).
* D-14338: Model.Modify function generated model json configuration that frontend wasn't incompatible with.
* D-14342: Flow step and Zoom settings control have same size and layout is aligned.
* D-14316: Occurrence impact on case duration measure didn't work with certain in-memory models.
* D-14327: AI Assistant had console error when pressing send button without text.
* D-14341: AI Assistant overlapped with BPMN editor in fullscreen mode.
* D-14321: Added error message for AI Assistant when trying to use it without model selected.


'''Features:'''
===Other improvements===
* 307938: Support for French language
* B-08391: Datatable access has been optimized improving performance for object-centric models.

* 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.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4 (release date 2020-05-26) ==  
== Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.8 (build 8937) (released 2024-12-11) ==
Build number: 2020.4.0.41643, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.


'''Notes:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 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.
Known issue: There may be old invalid models which don't work with QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.8. The following query can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] (with System administrator user) to list such models:
* 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.
<pre>
* 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.
Models.Where(!IsOcelModel && Configuration.TryGetValue("DataSource").TryGetValue("Events").TryGetValue("DataSourceType") == _EMPTY).(Project.Name + ": " + Name + " (" + Id + ")")
* 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")))''.
</pre>
* 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''.
Those models don't have a valid datasource defined and thus they are likely not is use. Easiest solution is to delete those models with following command:
* 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.
<pre>
* 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.  
ModelById(<id>).DeletePermanently()

'''Features:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 307859: Deployment package dashboards are embedded to QPR ProcessAnalyzer release.
SQL Server database compatibility level needs to be at least 130 (corresponding to SQL Server 2016) for databases used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer. When using a supported version of SQL Server, the database compatibility level might still be unsupported, so please check to used compatibility level. It's recommended to set the highest available compatibility level. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/view-or-change-the-compatibility-level-of-a-database.
* 307899: RemoveNulls function to remove null values from arrays.
</div>
* 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:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 219365: Sometimes system stuck during the time models were being loaded into memory.
[[External_Content|External content]] component doesn't allow to embed websites from other origins than the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server. This is due to a change in the Content security policy (CSP) HTTP header (more information: [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Security_Hardening#Added_HTTP_Headers|Security hardening]]). The content security policy HTTP header can be modified in the [[Installing_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server#Server_settings_file_(appsettings.json)|appsettings.json file]]. More information about the ''same-origin policy'': https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy.
* 219326&219377: Datetimes are incorrect in files exported from data grids (time zone difference) (See also the notes above).
</div>
* 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 (release date 2020-04-23) ==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Build number: 2020.3.0.41450, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.
QPR ProcessAnalyzer now uses the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient library for SQL server connection instead of the System.Data.SqlClient library, and there are slight differences with the connection string parameter default values. If using a self-signed certificate in the SQL Server with the encrypted connection, it might require to add '''TrustServerCertificate=True''' to the connection string, so that QPR ProcessAnalyzer will trust the self-signed certificate and allow the database connection.
</div>


'''Features''':
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 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.
Project ''Designer'' and ''Administrator'' roles can now create models and datatables in the project. Earlier these operations required the global ''Create models'' role. This global role is now renamed to ''Create projects'', describing its new purpose.
</div>

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.3 (release date 2020-04-16) ==
===Fixed issues===
Build number: 2020.3.0.41413, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.
* D-14320: On-screen setting didn't work when "dynamicType" is "DataTablesOfProject".
* D-14221: Content-Security-Policy HTTP headers allows only same origin for iframes, and X-Frame-Options HTTP header removed.
* D-14317: Model statistics system report gave error about invalid expression.
* D-14286: Fixed issue in model import which sometimes created partially configured model.
* D-14315: Filtering for custom dimensions didn't work, if expression refers to measures with variables.
* D-14302: "let" statement did not work in #expr-block embedded into SQL expression.
* D-14303: Flowchart lost selection when flowchart used linked variables.

'''Notes:'''
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.7 (build 8234) (released 2024-10-29) ==
* 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:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 307849: Securely stored strings for passwords.
If using local datatables (stored in SQL Server), the [[PA_Configuration_database_table#SqlServerConnectionString|SqlServerConnectionString]] setting is now mandatory. Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.7, local datatables cannot be created if the setting is not configured. It's recommended to have a separate database for the datatables data, but it's also possible to configure the same connection to the SqlServerConnectionString setting as for the configuration database (in [[Installing_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server#Server_settings_file_(appsettings.json)|appsettings.json]]). See [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_System_Architecture|System Architecture]] for more information about the data storage.
* 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.
</div>
* 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:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 219341: Analysis function unnecessarily required FilterId parameter.
Check whether there are custom roles in the database (table PA_ROLE) which have the ROL_FLAGS field set to NULL. The NULL values don't work with this release, so set a correct value (either 1, 2, or 3). Following query can be run in the database showing roles which have an incorrect ROL_FLAGS field:
* 219343: Root causes analysis gave access denied when using Analysis function.
<pre>
* 219348: Query cancellation caused database connection leakage.
SELECT *
* 219332: "Thread was being aborted" returned to client while loading model from datatable.
FROM [PA_ROLE]
* 219321: Removed unnecessary error log lines "Missing expected HttpRequest X-Forwarded-For" that appeared even if UseXForwardedForAsClientIp=false.
WHERE [ROL_FLAGS] = NULL;
* 219335: [_remove ]._ or empty array is not handled correctly in a KPI dimension.
</pre>
* 219340: default.aspx does not work.
</div>
* 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 2020.2 (release date 2020-03-09) ==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Build number: 2020.2.0.41129, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 67, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.
Snowflake user-defined functions (UDF) used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer have been updated to use Python 3.11. Old versions of the functions use Python 3.8 which has been deprecated by Snowflake. Although the old versions are not anymore used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer, they are not automatically deleted and thus Snowflake may send notifications emails about existing deprecated functions. It's recommended to remove the old functions which are following:
* QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES
* QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V2
* QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V3
* QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V4
* QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V5
* QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER
* QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER_V2
* QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER_V3
* QPRPA_UDF_BPMN_IS_CONFORMANT
* QPRPA_UDF_BPMN_CONFORMANCE_VIOLATIONS_FLOWS
</div>


'''Notes:'''
'''Features'''
* Expression language has now a [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Expressions#Conditional_operator_.28if.29|conditional operator "if"]] and [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Expressions#Define_variables_.28let.29_and_assign_variable_values_.28.3D.29|variable declaration operator "let"]]. In earlier QPR ProcessAnalyzer versions, the expression language had functions [[Generic_Properties_and_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Expressions#If|If]] and [[Generic_Properties_and_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Expressions#Let|Let]] which earlier could also be written in lowercase (i.e. "if" and "let"). Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.2, the lowercase versions refer to the conditional and variable declaration operators, and the uppercase versions refer to the corresponding functions. If there are expressions containing "If" and "Let" functions written in lowercase, please change them starting with uppercase.
* B-08458: Object-centric perspectives can be stored as filters and object-centric model can be selected for dashboard.
* Issue workaround: The Root Causes analysis don't work (shows empty) in the right side chart (PAPO) of the ''Process Discovery'' view. The issue can be fixed as follows by an administrator: click the ''Edit'' toggle button, click the right side chart, click the ''Edit'' icon in the top right of the chart, click the chart again, click ''Properties'' icon in the top right of the chart, open ''Variables'' tab, find the ''InfluenceAttributeTypeId'' variable, and change its value to empty (instead of ''20''). Click ''Close'' twice to go back to the main level and click ''Save'' button. The issue will be fixed to 2020.3.
* B-08472: Snowflake filter cache tables are now created in background to improve performance.
* Issue workaround: In ChartView, the ''Duration between events'' measure and dimension don't work when there are filters in use (the chart is empty). Workaround is to add the following ''Suffix expression'' to the measure or dimension settings (without quotes): "''//eventtypes''". The issue will be fixed to 2020.3.
* B-08452: Limited sampled cases to 10000 in Snowflake and in-memory clustering presets.
* B-08430: Improved [[Process_Flowchart|Snowflake flowchart]] performance by calculating variations using sampling.
* B-08446: QPR ProcessAnalyzer can be deployed as Snowflake application package to publish it as a [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Native_App_in_Snowflake|native app]].
* B-08418: QPR ProcessAnalyzer has been integrated into Snowflake authentication for Snowpark Container Services.
* B-08420: Legacy "Local" datatables cannot be created anymore - only separate SQL Server database is supported (see release note above).
* B-08437: Snowflake cache is now bypassed for queries that have caching disabled.
* B-08443: Improved object-centric models performance by optimizing perspective generation.
* B-08450: Updated Snowflake UDF's python version from 3.8 to 3.11 (see release note above).
* B-08425: Migrated nine configuration data tables to use Entity Framework.
* B-08334: Removed legacy functionality related to models.
* B-08337: Removed legacy functionality related to roles.
* B-08456: Frontend components have been updated.
* B-08477: Backend components have been updated.
* B-08478: Updated translations for release 2024.7.

Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.8 (build 8937) (released 2024-12-11)

Known issue: There may be old invalid models which don't work with QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.8. The following query can be run in the Expression Designer (with System administrator user) to list such models: 

Models.Where(!IsOcelModel && Configuration.TryGetValue("DataSource").TryGetValue("Events").TryGetValue("DataSourceType") == _EMPTY).(Project.Name + ": " + Name + " (" + Id + ")")

Those models don't have a valid datasource defined and thus they are likely not is use. Easiest solution is to delete those models with following command: 

ModelById(<id>).DeletePermanently()

SQL Server database compatibility level needs to be at least 130 (corresponding to SQL Server 2016) for databases used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer. When using a supported version of SQL Server, the database compatibility level might still be unsupported, so please check to used compatibility level. It's recommended to set the highest available compatibility level. More information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/databases/view-or-change-the-compatibility-level-of-a-database.

External content component doesn't allow to embed websites from other origins than the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server. This is due to a change in the Content security policy (CSP) HTTP header (more information: Security hardening). The content security policy HTTP header can be modified in the appsettings.json file. More information about the same-origin policy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer now uses the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient library for SQL server connection instead of the System.Data.SqlClient library, and there are slight differences with the connection string parameter default values. If using a self-signed certificate in the SQL Server with the encrypted connection, it might require to add TrustServerCertificate=True to the connection string, so that QPR ProcessAnalyzer will trust the self-signed certificate and allow the database connection.

Project Designer and Administrator roles can now create models and datatables in the project. Earlier these operations required the global Create models role. This global role is now renamed to Create projects, describing its new purpose.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.7 (build 8234) (released 2024-10-29)

If using local datatables (stored in SQL Server), the SqlServerConnectionString setting is now mandatory. Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.7, local datatables cannot be created if the setting is not configured. It's recommended to have a separate database for the datatables data, but it's also possible to configure the same connection to the SqlServerConnectionString setting as for the configuration database (in appsettings.json). See System Architecture for more information about the data storage.

Check whether there are custom roles in the database (table PA_ROLE) which have the ROL_FLAGS field set to NULL. The NULL values don't work with this release, so set a correct value (either 1, 2, or 3). Following query can be run in the database showing roles which have an incorrect ROL_FLAGS field: 

SELECT *
FROM [PA_ROLE]
WHERE [ROL_FLAGS] = NULL;

Snowflake user-defined functions (UDF) used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer have been updated to use Python 3.11. Old versions of the functions use Python 3.8 which has been deprecated by Snowflake. Although the old versions are not anymore used by QPR ProcessAnalyzer, they are not automatically deleted and thus Snowflake may send notifications emails about existing deprecated functions. It's recommended to remove the old functions which are following:

  • QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES
  • QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V2
  • QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V3
  • QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V4
  • QPRPA_UDF_BC_DURATION_BETWEEN_DATES_V5
  • QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER
  • QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER_V2

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.1 (build 4784) (released 2024-01-10)

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.

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.
