QPR ProcessAnalyzer Release Notes

This page contains new features and fixed issues for each QPR ProcessAnalyzer release. For information on the compatibility of different versions, see Version Compatibility Information.

Note

Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2019.9 the separately installed QPR UI is not needed anymore. Instead, the web UI is now part of QPR ProcessAnalyzer and does not require a separate installation. The new UI can be accessed in http(s)://SERVER/QPRPA/ui/ (where SERVER is the hostname of your QPR ProcessAnalyzer server). Dashboards in the old QPR UI are not moved automatically to QPR ProcessAnalyzer, and also the QPR UI dashboard export files are not compatible with the new QPR ProcessAnalyzer UI. Please contact QPR CustomerCare if you need assistance (customercare@qpr.com).

Next Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.3 (planned release date 2020-04-14)

Build number: 2020.3.0.xxxxx, Model compatibility version: x, Database version: xx, PACM file version: x, Protocol version: xx.

Notes:

• 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.
• Generic Chart and Gauge presentation objects are removed from the product (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 non-existing presentation object type. To adjust the dashboards, those placeholders need to be removed and replaced 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.

Features:

• 307556: New functions to expression language to improve usability and performance: CaseCount, EventCount, EventCountByType and Round.
• 307761: Functionality that user doesn't have access is now disabled in the dashboard designer and workspace to avoid access denied errors.
• 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.
• 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.
• 307872: API support for querying if SAML is configured.
• 307870: Automatically determine preprocessings.
• 307846: Error message further improvements.
• 307849: Securely stored strings for passwords.
• 307839: Generic chart and gauge presentation objects are removed.

Fixed bugs:

• 219321: Unnecessary error log lines "Missing expected HttpRequest X-Forwarded-For" even if UseXForwardedForAsClientIp=false.
• 219335: [_remove ]._ or empty array is not handled correctly in KPI dimenssion.
• 219340: default.aspx does not work.
• 219341: Analysis function unnecessarily requires FilterId parameter.
• 219343: Root causes analysis gives access denied when using Analysis function in the expression language.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.2 (release date 2020-03-09)

Build number: 2020.2.0.41129, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 67, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.

Notes:

• Expression language has now a conditional operator "if" and variable declaration operator "let". In earlier QPR ProcessAnalyzer versions, the expression language had functions If and 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• In the expression language, the left out rows can be aggregated as the last row, which is useful, e.g. when you want to present only the most important data but still see the total amount of cases in the model. Also ChartView contains a new setting Group and Show Others using this expression language feature.
