When installing, note that this release has a change in the web.config file: httpRuntime element includes now targetFramework="4.7.1" attribute.
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>

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Starting from 2021.9, QPR ProcessAnalyzer ScriptLauncher uses Web API instead of legacy WCF API. To take the Web API into use, ScriptLauncher needs to be updated to 2021.9. In addition, in the ScriptLauncher configuration file, ''ConnectionType'' setting needs to be ''WebApi'' (the setting is in place in the 2021.9 release package). The new Web API based ScriptLauncher is not anymore dependent on the API protocol version, and thus starting from 2021.9, information about the protocol version is not published. The old ScriptLauncher using protocol version 39 still works with the 2021.9, but as the WCF API is deprecated, ScriptLauncher update is mandatory before updating to 2022.1.
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.

The predefined analyses operations that QPR ProcessAnalyzer has traditionally been based on, are now deprecated and will be replaced by functionality provided by the expression language. In practice, the following features will be removed:
[[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.
* [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23GetAnalysis|--#GetAnalysis]] command in SQL scripting: If there are scripts using that command, replace them with the new [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23RunQuery|--#RunQuery]] which uses the expression language to query data.
* [[DataFrame_in_Expression_Language#Extract_Data_to_DataFrames|Analysis]] function in expression language: If using that function, replace it with other functionalities provided by the expression language.
* POST /api/analysis/{analysisType} endpoint in the Web API: If using that endpoint in customized solutions, call the [[Web_API:_Expression/query|/api/expression/query]] endpoint instead.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer WCF API is now deprecated and it will not be available starting from 2022.1 release. All customized integrations and other solutions that use WCF API need to be converted to use [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_API|Web API]]. Note that there may also exist scripts that contact the WCF API using the [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23CallWebService|--#CallWebService]] command. The API generation in use can be distinguished from the url: if it contains "/MainService.svc" the connection is to the WCF API and changes are required.
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 style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
SQL scripting commands that create datatables and temporary tables, create the tables now using specific column data types (such as NVARCHAR(MAX), INT, FLOAT, DATETIME2, BIT) instead of SQL_VARIANT. This may affect SQL commands that have relied on the SQL_VARIANT column type.
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.

== Latest Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.8 (build 614) (released 2021-11-02) ==
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.7 (build 8234) (released 2024-10-29) ==

Known issue in 2021.8: Some dashboards created with earlier releases, may give following error when opened: ''Chart settings are invalid, and the chart may not work correctly. Type of property "measures/0/nullValue" must be string."'' Despite the error message, the dashboard still works correctly. The issue can be resolved by going through all charts in the dashboard and opening the ''Chart settings'' (in the ''Advanced'' tab). If the settings contain one of the following: ''nullValue: null'', ''emptyStringValue: null'', ''trueValue: null'' or ''falseValue: null'', replace them follows: ''nullValue: ""'', ''emptyStringValue: ""'', ''trueValue: ""'', ''falseValue: ""''. When changes have been made, save the dashboard and check that there is no error, when the dashboard is opened. This issue will also be fixed in the next release, and if decided to wait for it, there is no need to edit the dashboards.
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.

Known issue in 2021.8: Some dashboards created with earlier releases, may give following error when opened: ''Chart settings are invalid, and the chart may not work correctly. Property "expressionType" is required in dimensions/0."'' In addition to the error message, some charts in the dashboard may not work correctly. This issue appears if there are empty measures or dimensions ("none" selected) above defined measures or dimensions. The issue can be resolved by removing the empty measures and dimensions by clicking the ''Remove'' button for the measure/dimension. This may affect how the remaining measures and dimensions are mapped to the visualization, so the mappings may need to be adjusted in the measure/dimension settings. When changes have been made, save the dashboard and check that there is no error, when the dashboard is opened. This issue will also be fixed in the next release, and if decided to wait for it, there is no need to edit the dashboards.
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>
</div>

QPR ProcessAnalyzer is now fully web browser based software, and so QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client is not released anymore. If you have any issues in switching over to the web UI, please give us feedback through customercare@qpr.com and describe your process mining use case.
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 style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
There is a change in the expression language behavior, as now existing variables cannot be reinitialized using the '''let''' operator. Thus, an error is given, if there is already a variable with the same name in the same scope. The new behavior reflects better how programming languages usually work, and also it's able to spot likely bugs in expression scripts.

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

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;">
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;">
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.

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 [[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.

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

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.
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 2024.1 (build 4784) (released 2024-01-10)==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 1em 1em;background-color:#ffcdd3;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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:
# 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.
# 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.
 
Notes regarding the conversion:
* Exporting and importing operations might take long time for very large models.
* Model id's are not changed in the conversion.
* Original filters and their id's are preserved but new duplicate filters are created during the import (which can be deleted).

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''.
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.

'''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.

== 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.

* 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.

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-08432: Decision intelligence event log prediction and simulation has been integrated into QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
  • B-03062: Project Designer and Administrator roles can now create models and datatables, and global "Create models" role changed to "Create projects".
  • 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.
  • B-08515: Frontend components have been updated.
  • B-08513: Backend components have been updated.

Fixed issues

  • 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-14295: Fixed issue where authentication was not possible if PA_ROLE table contained roles with ROL_FLAGS field having NULL values.
  • 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
