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-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.

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

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 (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.

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.
