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.

Next Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7 (planned release date 2020-09-29)

Build number: 2020.7.0.xxxxx, Model compatibility version: x, Database version: xx, PACM file version: x, Protocol version: xx.

Notes:

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:

1. In QPR ProcessAnalyzer Web UI, export the model as a .pacm file by clicking Export Model in the Model Properties (in the Actions tab).
2. 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.
3. 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).

Excel Client protocol version is changed which requires to update QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel Client when updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.7. See more how to update Excel Client.

The version numbering of QPR ProcessAnalyzer has changed, and now releases are identified using a simple version number instead of the previous version format (e.g. 2020.6.0.42152). The version number can be seen in the User Settings in the main navigation menu.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.5 (release date 2020-06-29)

Build number: 2020.5.0.41888, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 73, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.

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.

Features:

• 307938: Support for French language.
• 307868: New dashboard designer that doesn't have panels.
• 307947: Tables conditional formatting
• 307948: Dashboard properties layout and terminology changes.

• 307774: Web API operation /api/importfile for data import.
• 307933: Default logging mode has been changed to ExclusiveLock for all components.
• 307904: Server side support for UI languages.

Fixed issues:

• 219372: Issue with simultaneous eventlog processing that caused "Value cannot be null" errors and sometimes calculation with incorrect eventlogs.
• 219375: --#CallWebService didn't work with Content-Type parameter.
• 219357: UI was stuck to IdP login page when SAML settings (e.g SAMLUserIdAttribute) were misconfigured.

• 219382: Query for open operations should not return "open" operations that were started before the server startup time.
• 219402: Model with LoadOnStartup=true doesn't work with case level permission with expressions referring to current user.
• 219409: Filters containing event type and variation rules always filter out all cases.
• 219416: Error in model loading in startup can effect other model loading.
• 219369: Change error message "Time out while waiting for server response.".
• 219387: Text filter options opened to left for ChartView making them partly hidden for first column.
• 219395: Save button not always enabled when editing dashboard.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2020.4 (release date 2020-05-26)

Build number: 2020.4.0.41643, Model compatibility version: 3, Database version: 71, PACM file version: 7, Protocol version: 33.

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 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 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 (release date 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 (release date 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.
• 219347: Queries done by the main header were cancelled when view is changed.
• 219355: Expression language: Was unable to use properties of the parent context in dictionary initialization.
• 219346: PAPO flowchart should have by default median duration shown on flows and flow counts hidden.
• 219333: PAPO generated incorrect filter JSON and unnecessary query.
• 219311: When opened a view by identifier, the view was fetched twice from the server.
• 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.
• 219344: Case count view in model manager header and Home view can cause unwanted model loading.
• 219242: Flowchart is not updated correctly after event type filtering.

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.

Features:

• 307779: SAML 2.0 support for PA UI.
• 307789: PAPO now supports ModelId variable and new filters.
• 307854: Filter selector for main header.
