Creating datatables with duplicate names in the same project is prevented in this release, and also possible existing duplicate names will be automatically renamed to contain unique names. If there are these kinds of datatables, they need to be renamed manually after the update. Creating duplicate datatables has already been prevented in the UI, but the improved method is more robust.

== Latest Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.7 (build 1331) (released 2022-11-15) ==
New features presentation: [https://files.qpr.com/releases/QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_2025_1.pdf QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_2025_1.pdf]
<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 2022.7, to improve security expression language operations that modify data or connect to external datasources are prevented in dashboard custom expressions. The limitation is required, because when a dashboard is opened, its expressions are run with the user's permissions, and the user need to trust the expressions don't perform any unexpected operations, such as delete data. The full functionality of the expression language is available in the scripts and in the Expression Designer.


The following functions and operations are prevented in dashboards: SendEmail(), CallWebService(), ImportOdbc(), ImportOdbcSecure(), Model.DeletePermanently(), Model.Restore(), Model.TriggerNotifications(), Project.DeletePermanently(), Project.Restore(), Project.CreateDatatable(), Datatable.AddColumn(), Datatable.DeletePermanently(), Datatable.Import(), Datatable.Merge(), Datatable.RemoveColumns(), Datatable.RenameColumns(), Datatable.Truncate(), RecycleBin.DeletePermanently(), and call SQL script. Calling expression scripts is allowed, but in the script all previously mentioned operations are prevented.
===New features===
* 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]].


Following SQL query can be executed in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer metadata database to reveal dashboards that potentially have prevented expressions:
===Fixed issues===
SELECT * FROM [PA_UI_ELEMENT] WHERE [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%SendEmail(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%CallWebService(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%ImportOdbc(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%ImportOdbcSecure(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%DeletePermanently(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%Restore(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%TriggerNotifications(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%CreateDatatable(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%AddColumn(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%DeletePermanently(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%Import(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%Merge(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%RemoveColumns(%' OR [UIE_PROPERTIES] LIKE '%RenameColumns(%'

== Additional release for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.6 (build 1262) (released 2022-10-19) ==
<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>


'''Fixed issues:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* D-12586: Scripts using client-side import with older version of QPR ScriptLauncher didn't work.
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.
* D-12597: QPR ScriptLauncher was not sending heartbeats during import, which might have stopped the script prematurely.
</div>
* D-12589: Pressing Add measure/Add dimension button crashed chart.
* D-12558: In chart settings, setting expression to "(none)" gave error.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
This release has the following issues which will be fixed in a hotfix (to be released soon):
[[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.
* Older QPR ScriptLauncher versions (<=2022.5) don't work with this release, when using the client side import. As a workaround, if updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.6, also update QPR ScriptLauncher. Hotfix will be released to recover the backwards compatibility.
* When pressing the Add measure/Add dimension button in the chart settings, the chart settings dialog stop working. The workaround is to add the new measure/dimension to the bottom and use the Move up button to get the desired order of measures/dimensions. This issue will also be fixed in the hotfix.
* ETL scripts run using QPR ScriptLauncher in the client side import mode don't work if there is an import operation taking more than 10 minutes. This is because during the import, QPR ScriptLauncher erroneusly doesn't send the heartbeats to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server, which then stops the script, believing QPR ScriptLauncher has stopped working. This issue occurs in all QPR ScriptLauncher versions. This issue will be fixed to QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server in the hotfix (i.e., no need to update ScriptLauncher).

QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server and QPR ScriptLauncher use now .NET 6 (instead of legacy .NET Framework). The hardware requirements are same, but the .NET 6 Runtime needs to be installed to machines running QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server and QPR ScriptLauncher. See more on the [[Updating_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server|updating QPR ProcessAnalyzer]] instructions. Note that the IIS deployment script is not available anymore. QPR ScriptLauncher update is not mandatory (i.e., .Net Framework based QPR ScriptLauncher works with the .Net 6 based QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server), but update is recommended due to bug fixes made to the QPR ScriptLauncher.
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;">
Following legacy analyses have been removed: Flowchart (analysis number: 0), Variations (8), Duration (9), Profiling (10), and Flows (13). This functionality may have been used in the SQL scripts. Note that this change doesn't affect the functionality available in the QPR ProcessAnalyzer web UI.
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>
Following script can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] to show whether there are scripts in the system that likely use the removed analyses:
<pre>
let removedAnalyses = Flatten([0,8,9,10,13].(["'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')", "'AnalysisType', '" + _ + "')"]));
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.{let num=_;scr.code?.Contains(num)})>0;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");
</pre>

Datatables can be stored to a separate SQL Server database, i.e., the datatables are not anymore created to the QPR ProcessAnalyzer metadata database. This improves performance as data intensive operations are isolated from metadata operations. To take the feature into use, create a new database in SQL Server and set the [[PA_Configuration_database_table#General_Settings|SqlServerConnectionString]] setting in the configuration table to connect to that database. When the configuration has been made, all new datatables are created to the datatables database. Pre-existing datatables are still located in the metadata database. To get the pre-existing datatables to the new database, they need to be recreated, which can be done by creating a duplicate of the datatable. Support for the metadata database stored datatables is continued, but deprecating the support in future will be considered.
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.

Following legacy analyses have been removed: Variations Chart (analysis number: 1), Event Types Chart (4), Models (17), Model Report (21), Project Report (22), Datatable Report (23), and Script Report (24). To replace these analyses, use the corresponding native functionality in the expression language.
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:
 
Following script can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] to show whether there are scripts in the system that likely use the removed analyses:
<pre>
<pre>
let removedAnalyses = Flatten([1,4,17,21,22,23,24].(["'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')", "'AnalysisType', '" + _ + "')"]));
SELECT *
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
FROM [PA_ROLE]
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.{let num=_;scr.code?.Contains(num)})>0;
WHERE [ROL_FLAGS] = NULL;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");

Security hardening instructions to set the [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Security_Hardening#Add_Security_Related_HTTP_Headers_in_IIS|Content-Security-Policy]] http header, has changed. In addition, the '''img-src''' directive includes also '''blob:''' urls (this allows to export Highcharts charts).
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

Expression language has new function [[Generic_Functions_in_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer#Data_source_connectors|CallWebService]] for extracting data from web API's and make generic http calls. This function replaces the ReadWebService function which was a pre-production version of the same functionality. The ReadWebService function is thus now deprecated and it will be removed in future.  
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(#{})'''.

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.

Known issue: If the "Drop Unused Model After" setting is specified for a model, the model may incorrectly be dropped from the memory when the memory consumption is high. As a workaround, set this setting to empty, so that the model is not dropped by itself. This incorrectly behaving setting will be removed from the software in the next release (D-11507).
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.

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-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-14293: AI Assistant didn't work with object-centric models.
  • 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
