Technical & Minor Version Release Notes

A comprehensive list of all technical information regarding new releases. Includes warnings, which usually have implications on existing models and settings, as well as general technical information.

6.6.0

Major

Warnings:

API Change – Immutable Properties Ignored in Update/Create Requests
Certain properties are now ignored in API update and create requests to enhance security. These properties, previously considered immutable, were exposed in HTTP PUT requests, which posed a security risk. Now, while requests will still succeed without an error, any new values provided for these properties will not be applied. Here is the list of properties that can no longer be modified via API:

  • AppGroup: appUserGroups, appGroupRoles

  • AppUser: appUserRole, appUserGroup, appUserToken

  • Baseline: simulationRuns

  • DataParameter: dataParameterVariants

  • DataTable: columns, dimensions

  • Dimension: levels

  • ExternalDataSource: tables

  • Level: parameters

  • Model: nodes, baselines, simulationWorkspaces, subModelRelations, superModelRelations

  • Node: parentLinks, childLinks, dataParameters

  • PlanningWorkflow: workflowSteps

  • ProjectSpace: dimensions, externalDataSources, models, dataPermissionClasses, workflows, variables, scenarioExportTemplates

  • SimulationRun: simulationRunVariables

  • SimulationWorkspace: simulationRuns, simulationWorkspaceSheets, parameters, assumptionGroups

  • SimulationWorkspaceSheet: simulationCharts

  • Submission: timelineItems

  • WorkflowStep: submissions, inputSteps, stepStateChain
    – Low impact

API Change – Parameter Type Update for Data Table Chart Endpoints
The API endpoints /dataParameterVariants/{id}/updateValueTableChart and /dataParameterVariants/{id}/valueTableChart have been updated. The chartFilters parameter is no longer of type String but is now of type Map, consistent with other endpoints that receive filters (e.g., /simulationWorkspaces/{id}/data).

6.5.1

LTS - Hotfix

Warnings:

  • Behavior Change - FILLMISSING(_LAST) on Empty Inputs
    The behavior of the FILLMISSING and FILLMISSING_LAST functions has been updated for cases with completely empty inputs. Previously, with no data and only one level to fill, the function returned an empty result if the behavior parameter was set to “FinishAtLast.” Now, in this configuration, the function fills the entire dimension as if the behavior were set to “All,” as there is no last value to stop at.

  • Label Update - Scenario Assumptions in Bridge Deltas
    Scenario assumptions now retain their complete name, including version number and version name, when shown in scenario or YoY bridge deltas. Previously, the version details were omitted, causing inconsistencies with the Scenario Manager.

6.5.0

LTS - Major

Warnings: No upgrade warnings

6.4.0

LTS - Major

Warnings:

  • Behaviour Change - The behavior of the ‘Exclude from Presentations’ option for Sheets has been updated. Previously, when a Sheet was marked as excluded from a Presentation, it would still appear in the final Presentation, but without any chart results being calculated. With this update, when the ‘Exclude from Presentations’ option is selected, the Sheet will no longer appear in the Presentation at all.

  • Order Change - Order of exported charts- The order of charts in the workspace Excel export has been updated for both raw and formatted exports. Charts are now sorted as follows:

    • First by sheet order, exactly as they appear in the workspace

    • Charts on the same sheet are sorted from top to bottom

    • Charts at the same height are sorted from left to right

6.3.0

LTS - Major

Warnings:

  • ACCESS RIGHTS CHANGE - API restriction - Only project admins have full access to the shared workspace. This has always been possible only via API, never through the front end. - LOW

  • NUMBER CHANGE - Change in system table “MONTH_LAST_DAY” - This change will fix values for the last day of December but will not apply automatically on deploy. It affects only new projects (excluding duplicate and import). To fix an existing project, change its time dimension by shrinking or expanding the horizon. - LOW

General Information:

  • There has been an update regarding the available OpenID connect client authentication types. A new guide has been created to describe the steps needed to use oAuth 2.0 with Private Key JWT Client Authenticaiton and the general OpenID configuration page has been updated.

  • The number formatting in the node data preview is now synchronized with the user language setting. Thus, numbers will be displayed as: 100.000,00 in German and 100,000.00 in English, matching the rest of the application.

6.2.0

Major

Warnings:

  • Database Upgrade – H2 Compatibility Change
    We have upgraded H2 from version 1.4.200 to 2.2.224, which breaks compatibility with previous installations. To prevent data loss, users should manually migrate their data before upgrading the application. Please note that H2 is intended only for demos and proof of concepts (PoCs) and is not supported in production environments, as it cannot be upgraded across releases. – Trivial

  • Configuration Update – Feature Flag Change
    The feature flag featureFlags.job.pathFolderSystemExportedFiles has been removed and replaced by the systemFlags.tempFileRootDirectory configuration in the YAML file. If a value was set for the previous feature flag, it must now be manually updated to the new setting. There is no automatic migration for this change. – Trivial

  • Assumption Group Visibility
    A new assumption group called 'Szenario-Annahme' may appear in some workspaces. This change addresses scenarios where scenario assumptions were active but not visible in the scenario manager. After the update, any previously hidden assumptions will now be displayed in this new group. – Trivial

6.1.4

Hotfix

Warnings:

  • NUMBER CHANGE - ROLLFORWARD_ADVANCED fix for gaps in input data when using an aging Level - There is a chance that numbers will change from ROLLFORWARD_ADVANCED calculations when using an aging Level where an input data Level value key does not exist within a specific rollforward iteration’s data after shifting. - High

6.1.2

Hotfix

General Information:

  • Need to update the public-facing OIDC documentation regarding a new config value valsightOpenIdConnectProperties → userInfoEndpointScopes. See the internal documentation for details on OpenID Connect Configuration.

6.0.0

LTS - Major Release

Warnings

  • EXCEL FORMAT CHANGE - Removed AUTO_DIM 1.0 - This issue removed support for modifying dimensions via data-source upload. Clients need to modify files that had the '= DIM[Dim,Level,1]' tags in them, or they will end up with DS columns with that name. - MEDIUM

  • BREAKS CALCULATIONS - DATA function break - This issue moves all dimension tables that were in user data sources into the system data source. This breaks DATA functions that used dimension tables. Users will need to manually adjust the DATA function to the System data source. Chance of occurring: very low. - LOW

  • NUMBER CHANGE - Potential number change - DataFrameKeyEntry equals method can return false when keys are equal. Chance of occurring: basically none. - LOW

  • CONFIGURATION CHANGE - SSO config.yml change - Replaced the functionality introduced in ES-11511: Open ID connect group sync prefix to allow for multiple prefix values for both OpenID connect and SAML. This involved changing the config.yaml configuration key for the functionality:

    • Old configuration key: spring → security → oauth2 → client → registration → openIdConnect → valsightOpenIdConnectProperties → requiredGroupNamePrefix

    • New configuration key: loginMethodConfigurations → commonSSOOptions → requiredGroupNamePrefixes

    • Any environment configured to use the old OpenId group name prefix filter will be required to reconfigure to use the new SSO wide group name prefixes filter. Note the old configuration key was a single string value while the new configuration key is a list. - MEDIUM

  • NUMBER CHANGE - Potential number change with OData scenario exports - OData exports of scenarios were not applying the overridden values of variables. Any existing OData export will now be changed to reflect their influence on node results. - HIGH

  • FILE DELETION - All job results are purged, regardless of the purge settings - All existing job result files need to be deleted because we changed the file format. - LOW

  • FUNCTION RENAME - Renamed the ROLLFORWARD functions - The existing ROLLFORWARD function is renamed to ROLLFORWARD_BASIC. The existing ROLLFORWARD_MUL function is renamed to ROLLFORWARD_MUL_BASIC. Upgrading to 6.0 requires modifying any node operations that contain the old names of the above functions to use the new ones. A new function named ROLLFORWARD that has different parameters and logic from the ROLLFORWARD_BASIC has been introduced. - HIGH
