The '''Data Grid''' and '''HTML''' presentation objects will be removed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.1, because they have been replaced by easier-to-use and more powerful [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Chart|Chart]] presentation object, which supports many layouts such as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 the update to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.1, existing dashboards containing the removed 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.

===Fixed issues===
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* D-14339: Week numbers showed incorrect year for last dates in the end of year.
This release fixes the following performance issue '''219585: Getting model 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.
* 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.
</div>
* 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===
* 308061: QPR ProcessAnalyzer version related detailed information is shown User settings.
* B-08391: Datatable access has been optimized improving performance for object-centric models.

* 219585: Getting model list blocks until model loadings have been completed.
* 217940: PAPO flowchart scroll position was incorrectly on the very left.
* 219564: Duplicate of dropdown list contents appears in wrong place when opening dynamic single selected list after changing model.
* 219511: Scheduled loading of datatables caused the server to run out of memory.
* 219591: Using Web.HttpsOnly.config caused HTTP Error 500.19 - Duplicate connection cache-control.
* 219586: Previous modifications to Web.config are also done to Web.HttpOnly.config.
* 219566: Settings panel cannot be opened for flowchart.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.8 (build 80) (released 2020-11-10) ==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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:
<pre>
Models.Where(!IsOcelModel && Configuration.TryGetValue("DataSource").TryGetValue("Events").TryGetValue("DataSourceType") == _EMPTY).(Project.Name + ": " + Name + " (" + Id + ")")
</pre>
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:
<pre>
ModelById(<id>).DeletePermanently()
</pre>
</div>

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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.
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.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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.
[[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.

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]].
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.

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" />'''.
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.

* 308058: Roll back improvement of model statistics calculation (307988) which inadvertently changed the Excel client protocol.
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.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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:
<pre>
SELECT *
FROM [PA_ROLE]
WHERE [ROL_FLAGS] = NULL;
</pre>

Known issue: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7.1 is not compatible with Excel Client 2020.7, even though the Excel Client protocol version hasn't changed. To resolve the issue, update Excel Client to 2020.7.1.
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

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.


The conversion can be done as follows:

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''.
Known issue: It's not possible to move projects that existed before updating to this release. The issue will be fixed in the next release. There is a following workaround available: Administrator user can go to the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] and run the following expression: '''Projects.Modify(#{})'''.

'''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.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4 (released 2020-05-26) ==  
==QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.3 (build 5801) (released 2024-04-04)==
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.

==Additional release for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2 (build 5509) (released 2024-02-27)==
Build number: 2020.3.0.41450, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.


'''Features''':
'''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:'''
*B-06280: User management dialog shows whether users have password defined and unnecessary passwords can be removed to improve security.
* 219370: Dashboards could not be edited by other than administrators.
* 219361: Flowchart sometimes crashed to ThrowKeyNotFoundException when pressing Root Causes button.

'''Fixed issues:'''
Build number: 2020.3.0.41413, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.


'''Notes:'''
*D-14045: Fixed issue where users with Viewer or Analyzer role couldn't create filters in Snowflake models.
* 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.

<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.
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).
</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-08022: Design diagram supports now BPMN notation, elbow style flows and object-specific measures.
* 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-08232: Entire future eventlogs can be [[Create_Predicted_Eventlog|predicted]] based on generative AI models running in Snowflake.
* 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-08166: Added expression language function [[Generic_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer#OpenAIChatCompletion|OpenAIChatCompletion]] to answer natural language prompts based on OpenAI ChatGPT API.
*B-08177: Snowflake query performance has been improved by introducing caching of filtered eventlogs using Snowflake tables.
*B-08196: Conditional formatting rules can be defined for [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Table#Textual_equal_rules_for_background_color|textual and boolean values]].
*B-08213: Big data chart expressions event type selections to be multi-select where applicable.
*B-08205: Expression language API is available for storing [[Storing_Secrets_for_Scripts|secrets]] for scripts.
*B-07780: Chart [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Chart#Variable_mappings|variable mappings]] has been removed - use the [[Chart_Linked_Settings|linked settings]] instead. Dashboards using variable mappings are automatically converted to use linked settings.
*B-08117: Added ToSqlDataFrame function to convert in-memory dataframe into SQL dataframes.
*B-08174: Only non-default parameters values are written to the operation log.

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.

Features

  • B-08395: Added native object-centric flowchart showing predefined measures.
  • B-08396: Object attributes are now available as case attributes in object-centric perspective.
  • B-08449: Snowflake Native App supports project-specific database, schema, and warehouse.

  • B-08471: Model properties dialog has been simplified for Native App to exclude in-memory model datasources.
  • B-08504: Charts don't automatically change case/event attributes and event types when encountering non-existing selections.
  • B-08522: Optimized Snowflake queries that do not need event data.
  • B-08454: Optimized SQL executed in Snowflake by removing unnecessary column type casts.
  • B-08507: Migrated tables for scripts and script logs to Entity Framework.
  • B-08519: Migrated user management tables to Entity Framework.
  • B-08539: Migrated model, project and filter tables to Entity Framework.
  • B-08514: Updated translations for release 2024.8.

  • D-14245: When dialog was opened in Workspace, console showed following error: "Blocked aria-hidden on a <button> element because the element that just received focus ...".

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
  • QPRPA_UDTF_CLUSTER_V3
  • QPRPA_UDF_BPMN_IS_CONFORMANT
  • QPRPA_UDF_BPMN_CONFORMANCE_VIOLATIONS_FLOWS

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2 (build 5438) (released 2024-02-21)

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., Models.Filters and RoleAssignments property.

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).
