== Next Release: QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.5 (planned release date 2022-08-23) ==

Datatables will now be stored to a separate database, i.e., new datatables are not anymore created to the QPR ProcessAnalyzer metadata database. This improves performance as data intensive datatable operations are isolated from metadata operations. To take this 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 this configuration has been made, all new datatables are created to the datatables database. Pre-existing datatables are still located in the metadata database. To benefit from the separation of data, the pre-existing datatables 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.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
In Workspace, dashboards and scripts cannot be created anymore to the Workspace topmost level. All existing dashboards and scripts in the topmost level are moved to a new project named System, where administrators can access them. If dashboards and scripts are moved away from the Workspace level before the QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.3 update, the System project is not created.
</div>


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

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
SAML 2.0 authentication has been renewed, changing related urls as follows: SAML authentication is initiated from path '''/saml2''' (previously it was /api/saml). In addition, the redirect back url is now '''/saml2/acs''' (previously it was /api/samlsignin). These changes need to be made to the identity provider and taken into use during the QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.2 update. In addition, the redirection to the SAML authentication initialization path, that has possibly been set to IIS, need to be changed.
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2 (build 5438) (released 2024-02-21) ==
[[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23ImportSapQuery|SAP connector]] has been changed to use the newer SAP NetWeaver RFC Library provided by SAP. Due to this change, additional installation steps for [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_ScriptLauncher#Installing%20SAP%20NetWeaver%20RFC%20Library|QPR ScriptLauncher]] and [[Install_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server_Manually#Installing%20SAP%20NetWeaver%20RFC%20Library|QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server]] need to be done. The changes only affect environments where the SAP connector is enabled.
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
The WCF API has been removed from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2022.2. Before updating, 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 used API can be distinguished from the url: if it contains "/MainService.svc" the connection is to the WCF API and changes are required. Note also that if QPR ProcessAnalyzer Excel client has still been in use, from now on it will not work.
Known issue: Snowflake models and dashboards don't work with Viewer and Analyzer role permisions. The reason is that cache tables created to Snowflake incorrectly require the write permissions. Workaround is to give users the Designer role which will give the needed permissions. Note that the Designer role gives many permissions to the user for the project [[Roles_and_Permissions#Roles_and_Permissions|(more information)]]. This issue has been fixed in the next release (D-14045).

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Due to the WCF removal, [[Installing QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server|installing]] QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server is now easier, as there is only one web.config file (i.e., no separate web.config files for http and https). Note also that the contents of the web.config file is changed, so settings contained by the file need to be migrated manually.
The legacy User permissions report (analysis number 11) and Filters report (analysis number 30) used in SQL scripts have been removed. Use instead the expressions language to query filters and user permissions, e.g., [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Objects_in_Expression_Language#Filter|Models.Filters]] and [[Generic_Properties_in_Expression_Language#RoleAssignments|RoleAssignments]] property.

[[SQL Scripting Commands#--.23ImportSalesforceQuery|Salesforce connector]] has been changed to use Salesforce REST API, and the API version is changed from 38 to 54. Due to the change, there might be slight differences in the Salesforce connector behavior.
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).

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).

== Additional release for QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.9 (build 709) (released 2021-12-20) ==
 
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
This release has brought back SQL Server 2014 support.
</div>
 
'''Features:'''
* B-06489: Restore support for SQL Server 2014.
* B-06257: Add new SAP data extraction connector library SAP NetWeaver RFC (preview feature).
* B-06443: Snowflake availability status is added to /api/serverinfo.
 
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.9 (build 700) (released 2021-12-14) ==
 
<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 2021.9, ScriptLauncher uses Web API instead of legacy WCF API, and thus also the 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.
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
When taking into use the Web API based ScriptLauncher, the ServiceUrl setting in the ScriptLauncher [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_ScriptLauncher#Configuring_ScriptLauncher|configuration file]] needs to be set differently: Previously it was enough to specify the server name (e.g. <nowiki>https://processanalyzer.onqpr.com</nowiki>), but now also the application path needs to be specified (e.g. <nowiki>https://processanalyzer.onqpr.com/qprpa</nowiki>). This issue will be resolved in upcoming release.
Known issue fixed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2: In Big data chart, some measures, dimensions and columns have the filtering option missing. The issue concerns for example Duration between events, Path starting/until between specific events, and Cases where event occurs before other selections. Workaround is to set the filter in the chart json settings: the filter can be configured to another expression and copied to the correct expression.
</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 2021.9, support for SQL Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014 has been dropped. See more in [[QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_System_Requirements#System_Requirements_for_QPR_ProcessAnalyzer_Server|system requirements]].
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.

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:
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.
* [[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.
</div>
 
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
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 used API can be distinguished from the url: if it contains "/MainService.svc" the connection is to the WCF API and changes are required.
</div>
 
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
When installing 2021.9 server, note that there is a change in the web.config file, as httpRuntime element includes now targetFramework="4.7.1" attribute. Also, QPR ProcessAnanalyzer ScriptLauncher web.config has changed, as ''ConnectionType'' is now ''WebApi'' instead of ''Service''.
</div>
 
<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, use now specific column data types (such as NVARCHAR(MAX), INT, FLOAT, DATETIME2 and BIT) instead of SQL_VARIANT. This may affect SQL commands that have relied on the SQL_VARIANT column type. For example, in joins there may be mismatches between data types, requiring explicit type conversion.

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.
Limitation for the maximum amount of data (B-07636) causes a behavior change in in-memory charts that have the Maximum rows settings empty and have the sorting defined. In certain cases, the order in which measures are evaluated changes (due to an internal performance optimization). If there are custom expressions that define variables, the variables may not be available in other measures anymore. As a resolution, either redefine the variables in those measure expressions or add those measures secondarily to the sorting.

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.
Default query timeout of 30 minutes has been added for --#ImportOdbcQuery, --#ImportSqlQuery and --#ImportOleDbQuery commands. If a query run is taking longer than the timeout, the query is stopped. The timeout can be adjusted using the '''QueryExecutionTimeout''' parameter. Previously, there has been no timeout, so queries that take more than 30 minutes require configuring a longer timeout.

<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;">
In Big Data Chart, the '''Case conformance''' measure and dimension has changed in a way that now it provides boolean values (true/false) instead of integer values (1/0). If [[Measure,_Dimension_and_Column_Settings#Other_settings|colorMappings]] are used for this measure or dimension to set specific colors to visualize conformant and nonconformant cases, the mapped values need to be changed as follows: '''1''' -> '''true''' and '''0''' -> '''false'''. Without the change, the mapped colors are not effective.


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Exmaple: Old configuration:
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.
<pre>
"colorMappings": {
  "1": "#36d475ff",
  "0": "#f5403bff"

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).
Big data chart support of models with local datatables (i.e., SQL Server stored) is deprecated. Big data chart has allowed to process data both in Snowflake and SQL Server. Now the support for SQL Server is deprecated and the Big data chart will only support calculation in Snowflake. If there are big data charts using SQL Server calculation, either migrate data to Snowflake or switch to in-memory charts (requiring to load data in-memory).

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/.
Following legacy analyses have been removed: Operation log (analysis number: 12), Root causes (14), Correlations (15), Idea feed (16) and Duration influence (29). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23GetAnalysis|--#GetAnalysis]] command), and thus needs to be changed to the [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23RunQuery|--#RunQuery]] command (see the [[RunQuery_Script_Examples|examples page]] how each legacy analysis can be replaced). The OperationLog analysis is replaced by the [[Generic_Properties_in_Expression_Language#OperationLog|OperationLog function]] and the Infcluencers analysis is replaced by the [[FindRootCauses_Function|FindRootCauses function]].
</div>


<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Following script can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration):
Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2021.4, the 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).

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.
By default, Snowflake ODBC driver generates quite much logging to files which might unnecessarily fill up the disk space. It's recommended to set the LogLevel parameter to value 0. The path where the logs are created can be seen in Windows registry (key LogPath). More information about configuring Snowflake ODBC parameters: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/odbc/odbc-parameters.

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.
This release contains a potentially severe issue, where some dashboards completely jam the system by generating lot of calculations. The issue may appear in dashboards that have been created in earlier releases and containing the Root causes preset with default settings. The issue will be fixed by the next release. The issue can be worked around by exporting the affected dashboard, modifying the dashboard file manually and importing the dashboard back. The required modification is to remove line(s) containing <pre>"preset": "RootCauses"</pre> and the comma from the preceding line.

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.
Following legacy analyses have been removed: Cases (analysis number: 5), Events (6), and EventTypes (7). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23GetAnalysis|--#GetAnalysis]] command), and thus needs to be changed to the [[SQL_Scripting_Commands#--.23RunQuery|--#RunQuery]] command (see the [[RunQuery_Script_Examples|examples page]] how each legacy analysis can be replaced). Note that the legacy analyses removal don't affect the dashboarding functionality.
 
Following script can be run in the [[Navigation_Menu#Expression_Designer|Expression Designer]] to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration):
<pre>
let removedAnalyses = [5, 6, 7];
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.("'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')").{let num=_;(scr.code ?? "").Replace(" ", "").Replace("\t", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\r\n", "").Replace("\r", "").Contains(num)})>0;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (id: " + id + ") (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Data types of the datatables and temporary tables created by the [[SQL Scripting Commands#--.23ImportSapQuery|--#ImportSapQuery]] command has been changed: previously data types were NVARCHAR(255) for all columns. Now the maximum length in the NVARCHAR data type depends on the SAP data field length. This optimizes the space needed for data storage. In addition, there is a new parameter '''ConvertDataTypes''' allowing to specify which data types are converted correctly instead of using textual format.
Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.1, the '''.NET Desktop Runtime''' is not needed anymore for QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server, so it can be uninstalled. Also for QPR ScriptLauncher, ''.NET Desktop Runtime'' is not needed, but instead install the '''.NET Runtime''' (which is more lightweight). ''.NET Desktop Runtime'' contains the ''.NET Runtime'', so the actions are not mandatory when updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.1.

Fixed issues:

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

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2 (build 5438) (released 2024-02-21)

Known issue: Snowflake models and dashboards don't work with Viewer and Analyzer role permisions. The reason is that cache tables created to Snowflake incorrectly require the write permissions. Workaround is to give users the Designer role which will give the needed permissions. Note that the Designer role gives many permissions to the user for the project (more information). This issue has been fixed in the next release (D-14045).

The legacy User permissions report (analysis number 11) and Filters report (analysis number 30) used in SQL scripts have been removed. Use instead the expressions language to query filters and user permissions, e.g., Models.Filters and RoleAssignments property.

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).

Features:

  • B-08022: Design diagram supports now BPMN notation, elbow style flows and object-specific measures.
  • B-08232: Entire future eventlogs can be predicted based on generative AI models running in Snowflake.
  • B-08166: Added expression language function OpenAIChatCompletion to answer natural language prompts based on OpenAI ChatGPT API.

  • B-08196: Conditional formatting rules can be defined for textual and boolean values.
  • B-08213: Big data chart expressions event type selections to be multi-select where applicable.
  • B-08205: Expression language API is available for storing secrets for scripts.
  • B-07780: Chart variable mappings has been removed - use the linked settings instead. Dashboards using variable mappings are automatically converted to use linked settings.
  • B-08117: Added ToSqlDataFrame function to convert in-memory dataframe into SQL dataframes.
  • B-08174: Only non-default parameters values are written to the operation log.
  • B-08200: Timestamps in System reports are shown in user workstation local time.
  • B-08171: Dashboard id has been added to queries, to track from which dashboard queries are originating.
  • B-07144: Remove legacy User permissions report (analysis number 11) and Filters report (analysis number 30) in SQL scripts (see note above).
  • B-08193: Added retry mechanism to QPR ScriptLauncher to recover if connection to server breaks.

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

Known issue fixed in QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2: In Big data chart, some measures, dimensions and columns have the filtering option missing. The issue concerns for example Duration between events, Path starting/until between specific events, and Cases where event occurs before other selections. Workaround is to set the filter in the chart json settings: the filter can be configured to another expression and copied to the correct expression.

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.

Features:

  • B-08019: New component Design Diagram for showing user-created diagrams in dashboards where to visualize process mining metrics.
  • B-08087: Generic dropdown list selector works with Snowflake models allowing to add selection lists for any values.

  • B-08122: Added new system report to list dashboards.
  • B-08173: Removed legacy filters that didn't have any filter rules.
  • B-07961: In OperationLog, changed parameters to json format and added request id.
  • B-08069: Added DashboardId property to OperationLog in expression language.
  • B-08139: Added UpdateRows function to update existing rows in datatables with similar logic than SQL update.
  • B-08115: Added DeleteRows function to delete rows in datatables with similar logic than SQL delete.
  • B-08149: QPR ProcessAnalyzer has been updated to .Net 8.
  • B-08054: Changed Scripts property in generic context to return all scripts, instead of legacy system level scripts.

  • D-13918: Datatable could be configured incorrectly to use table for other datatable.
  • D-13932: Duplicating datatable with custom table in datasource losed all data.
  • D-11002: Removed legacy in-memory prediction preset.
  • D-13912: Added check that array cannot be stored to dashboard Content property.
  • D-13936: Query designer default query didn't work with Snowflake models.
  • D-13938: There was an incorrect logging with some operations related to ScriptLauncher.
  • D-13923: Snowflake expressions didn't work with Where function in root referring to case attribute.
  • D-13939: ApplyFilter function gave null reference error for non-existing attribute name.
  • D-13931: There were issues with AllowExternalDatasources and EnableFullFunctionality settings.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.7 (build 4326) (released 2023-11-28)

Limitation for the maximum amount of data (B-07636) causes a behavior change in in-memory charts that have the Maximum rows settings empty and have the sorting defined. In certain cases, the order in which measures are evaluated changes (due to an internal performance optimization). If there are custom expressions that define variables, the variables may not be available in other measures anymore. As a resolution, either redefine the variables in those measure expressions or add those measures secondarily to the sorting.

Default query timeout of 30 minutes has been added for --#ImportOdbcQuery, --#ImportSqlQuery and --#ImportOleDbQuery commands. If a query run is taking longer than the timeout, the query is stopped. The timeout can be adjusted using the QueryExecutionTimeout parameter. Previously, there has been no timeout, so queries that take more than 30 minutes require configuring a longer timeout.

Incorrectly configured linked settings in charts (available in the Advanced tab) give now an error message, if they are referring to non-existing measures, dimensions or columns. Previously, incorrect linked settings were ignored. To fix the error message, remove the incorrect linked settings.

Features:

  • B-07511: Datatables have a dialog to view datatable properties, write description, set the Snowflake source table, add/modify/delete columns, and set the datatable key.
  • B-08150: Added setting Apply chart filters first to determine whether chart filter rules or dashboard filter rules are applied first when chart queries are filtered.
  • B-08091: When filtering charts in Snowflake, case attribute filter is created instead of case id filter.
  • B-08091: New setting to define whether cases or events are filtered by default.
  • B-08091: New preset "Looping paths" to detect whether there are repeating patterns of events.
  • B-08091: Duration between events calculation ignores negative durations in Snowflake.
  • B-08091: Chart loading animation has been renewed.
  • B-07636: To prevent dashboards from jamming when querying too much data, added limitations to the amount of data that charts can visualize. Note that the limitation concerns the aggregated data that is visualized, not the source event log data.
  • B-08017: Dashboards API has been added to expression language, allowing to create, modify and delete dashboards in scripts.
  • B-08056: Following properties have been added to user objects in expression language: IsLocked, LastLockedDate, LastLoginDate.
  • B-08053: User rights report has been refactored to use RoleAssignments property in the expression language. The change also simplifies the report as now it only shows the direct role assignments that are visible in the User Management.
  • B-08151: For Snowflake expressions support for following windowing functions: sum, average, median, min, and max.
  • B-08050: When a model is created, the default filter is not created anymore (this is a refactoring that doesn't have any impact on user interface).
  • B-08123: Translation updates for 2023.7.
  • B-08092: Updated backend components.

Fixed issues:

  • D-13876: In CreateSnowflakeConnection function, ProjectId parameter is optional when OdbcConnectionStringKey is not specified.
  • D-13898: Snowflake: Exclude case attribute filter didn't work when there was null values and was selecting at least two values.
  • D-13890: Fixed XES file import to work.
  • D-13894: Business calendar based duration calculation was incorrect in some durations that spanned to several weeks (for Snowflake and in-memory models).

  • D-13883: Script run stucked after running a script with error that uses client-side ODBC import.
  • D-13879: SqlExpressionValue filter when excluding events didn't work with filter rule root expression only.
  • D-13896: Adding or removing columns to datatable didn't change the LastModifiedDate.
  • D-13882: User details weren't written to operation log when creating or modifying users.
  • D-13771: User rights system report didn't give error when changing columns.
  • D-13893: Some event filtering caused null pointer error when primary key had been defined.
  • D-13873: Fixed pivot table visual issues after component update.
  • D-13900: When adding, renaming or removing columns for Snowflake table fails, operation is now rolled back without any changes.
  • D-13866: Querying GET api/uielements was quite slow right after server start.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.5 (build 3304) (released 2023-09-05)

In Big Data Chart, the Case conformance measure and dimension has changed in a way that now it provides boolean values (true/false) instead of integer values (1/0). If colorMappings are used for this measure or dimension to set specific colors to visualize conformant and nonconformant cases, the mapped values need to be changed as follows: 1 -> true and 0 -> false. Without the change, the mapped colors are not effective.

Exmaple: Old configuration: 

"colorMappings": {
  "1": "#36d475ff",
  "0": "#f5403bff"
}

New configuration: 

"colorMappings": {
  "true": "#36d475ff",
  "false": "#f5403bff"
}

Big data chart support of models with local datatables (i.e., SQL Server stored) is deprecated. Big data chart has allowed to process data both in Snowflake and SQL Server. Now the support for SQL Server is deprecated and the Big data chart will only support calculation in Snowflake. If there are big data charts using SQL Server calculation, either migrate data to Snowflake or switch to in-memory charts (requiring to load data in-memory).

Following legacy analyses have been removed: Operation log (analysis number: 12), Root causes (14), Correlations (15), Idea feed (16) and Duration influence (29). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in --#GetAnalysis command), and thus needs to be changed to the --#RunQuery command (see the examples page how each legacy analysis can be replaced). The OperationLog analysis is replaced by the OperationLog function and the Infcluencers analysis is replaced by the FindRootCauses function.

Following script can be run in the Expression Designer to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration): 

let removedAnalyses = [12, 14, 15, 16, 29];
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.("'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')").{let num=_;(scr.code ?? "").Replace(" ", "").Replace("\t", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\r\n", "").Replace("\r", "").Contains(num)})>0;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (id: " + id + ") (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");

By default, Snowflake ODBC driver generates quite much logging to files which might unnecessarily fill up the disk space. It's recommended to set the LogLevel parameter to value 0. The path where the logs are created can be seen in Windows registry (key LogPath). More information about configuring Snowflake ODBC parameters: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/developer-guide/odbc/odbc-parameters.

QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.1 (build 1433) (released 2023-02-07)

This release contains a potentially severe issue, where some dashboards completely jam the system by generating lot of calculations. The issue may appear in dashboards that have been created in earlier releases and containing the Root causes preset with default settings. The issue will be fixed by the next release. The issue can be worked around by exporting the affected dashboard, modifying the dashboard file manually and importing the dashboard back. The required modification is to remove line(s) containing 
"preset": "RootCauses"
and the comma from the preceding line.

Following legacy analyses have been removed: Cases (analysis number: 5), Events (6), and EventTypes (7). This functionality may be in use in SQL scripts (in --#GetAnalysis command), and thus needs to be changed to the --#RunQuery command (see the examples page how each legacy analysis can be replaced). Note that the legacy analyses removal don't affect the dashboarding functionality.

Following script can be run in the Expression Designer to show whether there are scripts that use the removed analyses (and thus require migration): 

let removedAnalyses = [5, 6, 7];
OrderByDescending(Flatten(Projects.Scripts).Where({
  let scr = _;Sum(removedAnalyses.("'AnalysisType','" + _ + "')").{let num=_;(scr.code ?? "").Replace(" ", "").Replace("\t", "").Replace("\n", "").Replace("\r\n", "").Replace("\r", "").Contains(num)})>0;
}),LastRunStart).(Project.Name + ": " + name + " (id: " + id + ") (last run: " + (LastRunStart ?? "N/A") + ")");

Starting from QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.1, the .NET Desktop Runtime is not needed anymore for QPR ProcessAnalyzer Server, so it can be uninstalled. Also for QPR ScriptLauncher, .NET Desktop Runtime is not needed, but instead install the .NET Runtime (which is more lightweight). .NET Desktop Runtime contains the .NET Runtime, so the actions are not mandatory when updating to QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.1.
