'''Release Highlights:'''
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.2 (build 5438) (released 2024-02-21) ==
* ODBC driver support for QPR ProcessAnalyzer: Use external data sources to create a dynamic model that is updated every time the model is loaded. Using the ODBC driver, the model data can be accessed from a separate data source. All the event data information can be defined in JSON format allowing for automatic model creation.
* KPI Analysis: A new analysis is added to QPR ProcessAnalyzer. KPI Analysis utilizes the KPI expression engine for creating visualizations of data. KPI Analysis is a fully fledged analysis that can be used in conjuction with the existing QPR ProcessAnalyzer analysis for more focused results. In addition, KPI Analysis is available as a separate QPR UI view for creation of dashboards that present real-time data taken from QPR ProcessAnalyzer.
* Tabular Analysis results updated with data types: Analysis featuring tabulated data are now automatically updated with correct data types. Automatic data types allow for exporting the data in a format that can be used in other compatible tools as the data types are automatically defined into the data.

<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 307265: [[KPI Analysis|KPI analysis UI]] - part 1 (KPI).
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).
* 307278: The tabular analyses (e.g. Case analysis) in QPR ProcessAnalyzer UI now have the correct column data types based on the information from the QPR ProcessAnalyzer server.
</div>

'''Release Highlights:'''
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2024.1 (build 4784) (released 2024-01-10) ==
*Conformance Checking is supported in QPR ProcessAnalyzer. Using the KPI Expression Language as a basis, process mining models can be compared to BPMN notation and analyzed if the process data conforms to the BPMN design. These results are implemented in ChartView and KPI Expression Language allows them to be implemented into dashboards.
*BPMN Editor has been added to ChartView. You can now import and design BPMN process maps for use in conformance analysis. The BPMN editor is a web component that is used in the browser, allowing for quick and easy process design. The designs can also be exported for further use.
*Flowchart Visibility Settings have been overhauled with a new visual presentation. New stepper elements allow for more flexible flow threshold settings while maintaining a user-friendly approach.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2018.2 (release date 2018-03-12) ==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Build number: 2018.2.0.37453, Model compatibility version: 2, Database version: 58, Stream version: 7.
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.
</div>


'''Release Highlights:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* Case Permissions have been added to the data security featureset. Case Permissions allow for limiting model visibility based on rules that reference the case attributes of a set model. Case permissions can refer to usernames or user groups, creating a link between the attributes and groups.
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.
* Influence Analysis for Case Attributes has been simplified. The feature presents basic information relating to the root causes when it is opened. If further information is needed, this can be accessed via the feature menu.
</div>
* DataGrids support Excel exporting. You are now able to export data from fixed dashboards featuring datagrids. With this feature, you can take your data for further manipulation using Microsoft Excel.
* Chartview has been improved with a new layout and excel exporting. The new layout allows for quicker access to creating charts using the ChartView tool. With the exporting functionality, the views created are exported for use in presentations in Microsoft Excel.
* KPI Expression Language has been added with support for Influence Analysis for Case Attributes. This allows for further creation of dashboards with specific analysis result queries. Using the KPI expression language, dashboards can be made to present up-to-date data based on influence analysis results.
* Dataset tag support for data visualization. Adding dataset tags will help in creating more dynamic chart presentations as the data can be inserted into the JSON settings of charts and datagrids.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2018.1 (release date 2018-01-31) ==
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
Build number: 2018.1.0.37330, Model compatibility version: 2, Database version: 57, Stream version: 7.
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.
</div>


'''Release Highlights:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* ChartView is introduced as a new QPR UI view. This interactive view allows the creation of customized charts to answer specific business needs, with measures and dimensions the user has selected. ChartView comes preloaded with numerous different presentation features for the creation of customized charts fit for any business need.
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.
* New Table Filtering for Data Table Views. A new Excel-style filtering feature has been added to the different analysis features, such as Influence Analysis for Case Attributes and Event Analysis. The feature allows the presentation and comparison of different data using robust filters.
</div>
* The QPR UI version of QPR ProcessAnalyzer has an overhauled popup menu. Selecting different analysis and creating new filters is quicker and new icons have been added for added clarity.
* XES filetype importing support. The IEEE TaskForce standardized XES logs are now supported by QPR ProcessAnalyzer. This filetype aims to unify the transactional data produced by information systems and makes them usable in tools used in data analysis.

== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2017.6 (release date 2017-08-15) ==
== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2023.5 (build 3304) (released 2023-09-05) ==
Build number: 2017.6.0.36561, Model compatibility version: 2, Database version: 57, Stream version: 7.


'''Release Highlights:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* The major feature of this release is the support for Multiwindow Process Analysis. Need to create new, custom views for specific analysis? It's now possible with the customizable dashboards offered.
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.
* If you want to take dashboard customization even further, you can now add SVG Backgrounds to views and panels. You can make your dashboards look more impressive by adding a SVG image to it.
* For powerful analysis, the new version offers a table view for Profiling Analysis. For larger datasets with multiple attributes, this is an extremely useful feature as you can easily profile the data with the table.
* If you want to do accurate lead time analysis, you will find the table view for Duration Analysis very useful. The data presented in the tables offers you accurate data and can be used for further analysis.
* Managing navigation and creating links for dashboards has been furthered with the addition of Identifier Support. You can now give your dashboards identifiers that you choose, making your dashboard management much easier.
* For more under the hood features, we implemented  dynamic tag support. Dynamic tags allow you to add functional behaviour to dashboards by specifying set context variables. This will lead to more responsive dashboards!
* Finally, we redesigned the zoom buttons. Not only did we redesign the buttons, but we implemented into the analysis window! By adding a zoom button to the analysis window, we now offer you the chance more control on the visualization of the analysis.


'''PAPO Features:'''
Exmaple: Old configuration:
* 307063: The [[Profiling_Analysis_(PAPO)|Profiling Analysis]] can now be shown as a table.
<pre>
* 307012: The zoom button look was changed.
"colorMappings": {
* 307064: The [[Duration_Analysis_(PAPO)|Duration Analysis]] can now be shown as a table.
  "1": "#36d475ff",
  "0": "#f5403bff"
}

New configuration:
<pre>
"colorMappings": {
  "true": "#36d475ff",
  "false": "#f5403bff"

'''Fixed bugs:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 218010: Sample files are missing from PA Excel Client.
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).
</div>


'''PAPO Fixed bugs:'''
<div style="border:1px solid #dfdfdf;padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 1em;background-color:#E7EAEC;margin:10px 0px 0px 10px;">
* 218005: The Profiling Analysis case attribute selection was reset to the default value after applying a filter.
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]].
* 217876: The flowchart was not centered after being opened in the {{DriverNameForTheDay}} window.
* 217934: Fixed an issue where the "Limit to" field in the analysis settings could be used to enter unacceptable values and could display negative values.
* 218028: The Model and Analysis buttons were shown in the {{DriverNameForTheDay}} and {{AnalysisNameForTheDay}} windows even when the windows were hidden by using the splitter.


== QPR ProcessAnalyzer 2017.5 (release date 2017-07-06) ==

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.

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.

<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: 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") + ")");

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.

  • B-06280: User management dialog shows whether users have password defined and unnecessary passwords can be removed to improve security.

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.

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-08163: Linked settings support for binding to case attribute filter values without defining case attribute name.
  • B-08170: Snowflake model filters can be saved as new models which can be used to create snapshots of part of models.
  • B-08093: Multiple dashboards can be exported to same file, and model can be set for imported dashboards.
  • B-08161: Added Modify function to change datatable properties and improved CreateDatatable function for creating datatables.
  • 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.
  • B-08138: Changed Synchronize function to remove all columns when no Snowflake table exists.
  • B-07689: For datatables, foreign keys to other datatables can be defined using expression language.
  • B-08176: Translation updates for release 2024.1.
  • B-08175: Workspace should show timestamps in user's local time.

Fixed issues:

  • D-13913: Datatable properties dialog incorrectly showed linked models from other projects.
  • D-13916: Chart filter could not be defined for some expressions in Big data chart.
  • D-13933: Navigation menu selected item wasn't highlighted when used Snowflake models.

  • D-13911: Fixed small glitches in the opening and closing of drop-down lists.
  • 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.

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.

Features:

  • B-06997: Expression-based filter rules for Snowflake dashboards to allow versatile filtering and filtering from custom expressions.
  • B-07383: Improvements to linked settings to allow binding to variables, tags and filter rules (more information).
