Insight Release Notes

New in Release 4.52.2

General
- Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 are no longer supported platforms.
Security
- Attachment file extensions are now validated against a blacklist of extensions that are considered potentially harmful to an end user's computer. An error message will be shown if an attachment with a blacklisted extension is either uploaded or downloaded. If a blacklisted attachment is accessed or created during model execution it will cause the execution to complete with errors and write an error message into the run log. The blacklist of file extensions can be customized in the server standalone.xml by setting the property com.fico.xpress.insight.FileExtensionBlackList to a comma-separated list of extensions. See the Insight Installation Guide for a list of the default blacklisted file extensions.
- An Insight installation can now be configured with its hostname to protect against host header attacks. See the "Securing Xpress Insight" section of the installation guide for more information.

Fixed in Release 4.52.2

VDL 4.6
- vdl-table content which extends beyond the width of the parent vdl-column is now correctly truncated.

New in Release 4.52.0

VDL & JS APIs 4.6
- Important. A number of 3rd party libraries included by the VDL/JS APIs have been updated to include the latest available security fixes. The latest version of the LoDash library is not fully backwards compatible with previous versions. Custom view developers who have coded against the LoDash library shipped with Insight are advised to re-test their view. This impacts existings 4.0, 4.1, 4.5 and 4.6 APIs.
- The release notes for LoDash 4.0 are available here: LoDash 4.x release notes
- VDL/JS API 3.x and earlier versions are now deprecated. It is recommended that views are updated to use the latest VDL/JS API versions to benefit from the most recent security improvements
Attachment tree editor
- Updated user interface. Note: The tree editor now requires a license. Please contact FICO on how to license and enable this feature.
- New features include support for percentage split, extended list of export formats.
Tableau 2019.2 and 2019.3 support
- Tableau 2019.3 is the recommended Tableau version for Insight 4.52.
- As per Tableau support policy, we no longer support Tableau versions 10.3 and earlier.

Fixed in Release 4.52.0

VDL 4.6
- Added missing VDL expression object scenario.summaryData to allow access to ScenarioSummaryData properties.
VDL 4.5+
- Fixed a rendering issue with VDL Table and JS API AutoTable that would cause the table header to be misaligned with the table body when updating the app or when using column filters. The scrollable table extension is only supported in Chrome and Firefox.

New in Release 4.51.0

General
- Execution modes that do not invoke the Xpress solver no longer require and consume an Xpress solver license.
- Attachment size limit increased from 150MB to 300MB.
- New VDL and JS API 4.6 versions.
- Insight no longer dictates the strategy for the order in which variables are loaded into the solver. The default Mosel ordering is now used. This may affect the solve path for some models. To restore solver behaviour for affected models, the model should set parameter “XPRS_COLORDER” to 2.
VDL 4.6
- Strict rules for content layout are now enforced to align with View Designer and provide predictable view layouts.
- vdl-page, vdl-section, vdl-column now consistently stack content vertically.
- New vdl-container flows inline elements (text, buttons, images etc.) horizontally and wraps at right hand edge.
- vdl-column hides content that is too wide to fit the column width
- Strict rules for which vdl tags are valid children/descendents of a vdl tag to align with View Designer
JS API 4.6
- Added View#replaceSelection. This can be used to ignore the scenario selection on the shelf and use an alternative set of scenarios within the view. Must be called before the view is initialized.

Fixed in Release 4.50.1

Java execution from Mosel
- Execution Worker installation configures Mosel to use Java 11 for Java execution, see xpressmp/bin/xprmsrv.cfg
- Default configuration no longer restricts Java execution by package name. User supplied java code executes in the security manager sandbox.

LDAP full integration mode
- LDAP integration can now optionally be configured so that users are created or updated based on their LDAP records during logon.
- Users are granted access to Insight and Tableau by defining LDAP groups which indicate access should be granted. Users attempting to access insight are checked for membership of these groups during logon.
- Authority Groups and Applications can be mapped to LDAP groups. Users which are members of the LDAP groups are granted the corresponding Authority Groups and app membership on logon.
- On the users page, clicking the 'UPDATE FROM LDAP' button will update the user details, app and group membership for all of the non local users. Individual, non-local users can be updated individually by clicking on the link for the user to view their details and then clicking on the 'UPDATE FROM LDAP' button on the displayed page.
- No impact on existing installations using LDAP. Integration defaults to partial mode which is backwards compatible (authentication only).
- See the updated Insight Administrator Guide for details on how to configure LDAP.

Tableau 2018.3 and 2019.1 support
- Tableau 2019.1 is the recommended Tableau version for Insight 4.50.

New in Release 4.7.2

Summary

Tableau 10.2, 10.1 and 10.0 compatibility.
Database upgraded to PostgreSQL 9.5 from PostgreSQL 9.1. Migration is performed automatically during installation on Windows. On Linux the migration steps in the Optimization Modeler Installation Guide must be followed.
Linux installers now support unattended installation. Options are passed via the command-line. See the Optimization Modeler Installation Guide for more information.
The database and server now use UTC time zone whereas previous versions used the operating system's local time zone.
When upgrading an existing database, scenario data is unaffected by this change. However the scenario creation timestamp and attachment last modification timestamp will shift by the time zone difference between UTC and local. To avoid timestamps being shifted, export the repository before upgrading, perform a clean installation and then import the repository.
Support for Xpress-Mosel S3 integration. See the Developer Guide for further details.

Fixed in Release 4.7.2

Fixed an issue where custom view Javascript API files were incorrectly presented as minified while in debug mode.

Fixed in Release 4.7.1

OM server

Database tables are analyzed after mirroring to ensure optimal Tableau query execution.

New in Release 4.7.0

Summary
- Built in attachment editors for the following file types
- Projects have been renamed to apps. Home page now displays app name and version information
- VDL and JavaScript API 3.2, includes attachment creation and editing capabilities.
- Support for Tableau Parameters

VDL 3.2
- Added attachment creation actions, "create-project-attachment" and "create-scenario-attachment", to the vdl-attachment-button tag.
- vdl-attachment-button elements are disabled if bound to virtual scenario or if the logged in user doesn't have the required attachment edit authority. A detailed reason for an attachment button being disabled is given in the button tooltip.
- Added actions (edit-project-attachment and edit-scenario-attachment) to vdl-attachment-button to open an existing file attachment in the relevant editor for the corresponding file ending.
- vdl-table display state (page size, page number, sorting and filtering) are preserved during a user's web session. This means that table redraws or moving between views and projects within the same browser window will retain table state.
- vdl-table will combine the index set values from all scenarios used by the array entities in the table.
JavaScript API 3.2
- Added View#createProjectAttachment, View#createScenarioAttachment, Project#createAttachment and Scenario#createAttachment methods.
- Added Attachment#getEditor and AttachmentEditor#open for triggering editing an attachment.
- AutoTable and Table display state (page size, page number, sorting and filtering) are preserved during a user's web session. This means that table redraws or moving between views and projects within the same browser window will retain table state.
- AutoTable will combine the index set values from all scenarios used by the array entities in the table.
REST API
- When updating an app via a POST operation to /data/project/{id}, the displayName property can also be updated.
  - This in addition to the notes property, that was already available.
  - If a settable property is not defined, it will be left unchanged on the app, rather than deleted.
  - See the "fixed" section below for changes to handling of the notes property.
Tableau Parameters

Fixed in Release 4.7.0

VDL 3.0+
- Fixed an issue with addrow-autoinc where new rows would disappear immediately after adding if a vdl-validate was referencing the extended index set entity.
- The vdl-attachment-button enabled attribute now evaluates correctly when given an expression.
- Fixed an issue where contents of vdl-if and vdl-visible attributes could be mis-interpreted if they contained low-precedence operators such as ||.
VDL 3.1+
- Fixed an issue where attribute expressions on vdl-execute-button would only be evaluated once, at startup, rather than on each time the button was pressed.
JavaScript API 3.0+
- Fixed an issue that was causing Table, AutoTable and vdl-table components to render very slowly when the end-user sorts a numeric column that contains null (empty) values.
REST API
- Updating an app via a POST to /data/project/{id} no longer erases the notes if the notes property is not set; to achieve that, set the notes property to the empty string.
  - Prior to this release, only the notes property could be set this way; now the displayName property can also be set, it became necessary to clarify the behaviour when some properties are defined in the POST operation and some are not.
Web Client
- Fixed missing search box in entity explorer

Fixed in Release 4.6.4

Web Client

Fixed an issue where project update would be rejected when the companion file referred to model resources.
Fixed an issue where the view navigator would sometimes appear empty until the browser was resized.

JavaScript API 2.0+

Fixed an issue where the JavaScript API could fail to initialize on a slow network.
An error message is displayed if the JavaScript API takes longer than 30 seconds to initialize.

Fixed in Release 4.6.3

Tableau

Fixed an intermittent issue where Tableau views could take significantly longer to display.

Fixed in Release 4.6.2

Web Client

Fixed an issue where an unexpected error message appeared intermittently when reloading or unloading a Tableau view.

Fixed in Release 4.6.1

Mosel interface

Fixed an issue where the response to insightgetiteminfos includes details about scenarios and folders which the user does not have read access to. Inaccessible items are now no longer returned.
Fixed an issue where insightgetiteminfo raises a Mosel ERROR when attempting to access information about a folder or scenario the user does not have access to. An IOERR is now raised instead, allowing the model to trap the error.

New in Release 4.6.0

Summary
- Integrates with new Optimization Designer IDE which provides a rich set of development tools for authoring and debugging Optimization Modeler projects.
- Explicit support for custom execution modes
- Expanded configuration of Execution Services with thread based scheduling. New web based configuration UI replaced the Analyst Client dialog.
- Support for Mosel annotations. A number of configuration options previously set in the companion file (most notably the schema settings) are now set in the model source using annotations. Some configuration options have been removed in v3 of the companion file, see below for more details.
- Tableau data sources can now be defined in the companion file.
- Boolean values now rendered with checkboxes in tables.
- Improved filtering tables. Search and column filter now support "exact" matching by prefixing search term with an =

Execution Modes and Execution Services
- Custom Execution Modes defined using annotations in the model source.
- The Execution Servers available to the system can be partitioned into Execution Services.
- Jobs of a given Execution Mode can be configured to route to a designated Execution Service.
- Webadmin interface to define and manage Execution Modes, Execution Services,Execution Workers and the mapping between them
- Because of these changes, the contents of the job queue will not be preserved when upgrading to this version of Optimization Modeler. Any pending jobs will need to be re-qeueued once the upgrade is complete.
Companion File Version 3
- Companion File version 3 introduced. This introduces a number of changes and requires applications to migrate to using annotations. Existing applications using companion file version 2 will be unaffected. For more details refer to the Developer Guide.
  - Added datasources tag within database-mirror tag
  - Moved mirror-table tag beneath new mirror-tables tag within database-mirror tag
  - Removed Schema tag and its contents. These are now read from Mosel model annotations.
  - Removed useNameAsAppTitle tag. This is now always enabled.
  - Removed name tag. This is read from the Mosel model name.
  - Removed project-version tag. This is read from the Mosel model version.
  - Removed change-log tag. This is controlled at the OM server level, rather than per application.
  - Removed resultdata tag. This is read from the om.resultdata annotation.
- Mirror database datasources can now be specified directly in the v3 companion files. Optimization Modeler uses these to automatically define and publish Tableau datasources for use with workbook authoring. For more details refer to the Developer Guide.
VDL 3.1
- VDL 3.1 and JS API 3.1 include compatibility with custom execution modes.
- vdl-table-column: Boolean arrays now rendered with checkboxes in display mode.
- vdl-table-column: filter-by-formatted now defaults to true if the column's entity has a label entity. Otherwise it defaults to false as before.
- vdl-table: Search and column filter now support "exact" matching by prefixing search term with an =
JavaScript API 3.1
- Added getExecutionModes() method to Project type.
- Added error handling for data responses that don't contain expected entities.
- An error is logged to the console if attempting to create a scenario observer with the same entity both filtered and unfiltered. The scenario observer will fail to start.
- Table / Autotable: Boolean arrays now rendered with checkboxes in display mode.
- Table / Autotable: Search and column filter now support "exact" matching by prefixing search term with an =
- Autotable: filterByFormatted now defaults to true if the column's entity has a label entity. Otherwise it defaults to false as before.
- Added method View#promptToClearInputData that will (by default) show the user a confirmation dialog only if executing the model with the given execution mode would cause the input data to be replaced; this behaviour can be customized. See API docs for details.
- The VDL execute button and Autoform run and load buttons now use the View#promptToClearInputData mentioned above.
JavaScript API 3.0
- Added error handling for data responses that don't contain expected entities.
- An error is logged to the console if attempting to create a scenario observer with the same entity both filtered and unfiltered. The scenario observer will fail to start.
REST interface

Expanded the EXECUTION_STATUS type with properties relating to Execution Services
Added EXECUTION_MODE type, and executionModes property to the PROJECT type
The /v1/data/execution/ endpoint now takes an EXECUTION_REQUEST type, to allow specification of execution modes. (Passing an id and objectType of SCENARIO or EXECUTION_STATUS is still accepted for compatibility.)

Mosel interface (execution modes and annotations)
- The insightgetmode function now returns the execution mode of the model.
  - To reflect this change, the INSIGHT_MODE_* constants have new values:
    - INSIGHT_MODE_RUN now has value "RUN"
    - INSIGHT_MODE_LOAD now has value "LOAD"
    - INSIGHT_MODE_NONE now has value ""
  - Code should continue to compare the result of insightgetmode against the relevant INSIGHT_MODE_* constants, but it may now also return custom execution modes instead.
  - Code compiled with previous versions of mminsight will continue to have the old function behaviour, and the odl values of the constants.
- Support for definition of model schema and execution modes via Mosel annotations. For more details of the supported annotations refer to the Mosel Interface Reference Manual.
- Default rmt: node resolves to the master scenario model when compiled with 4.6 and above.
Analyst Client
- The Admin menu, with its associated Optimization Services dialog, has been removed; this functionality has been migrated to the Execution Services tab of the Web Admin user interface.

- All built in Analyst Client views now use partial data fetching.
- Custom html (JS or VDL) views will use partial data fetching when authored against the latest 2.0 interfaces.
- Custom html (JS or VDL) views authored against 1.x interfaces will continue to fetch all scenario data.
JavaScript API
- 2.0
  - Scenario data access and modification is fully asynchronous. Synchronous constructs removed.
    - Scenario properties, i.e. name, notes, owner etc. are obtained via view.getScenarioProperties().
    - Scenario entities and summary data (entities, hasResults, isLoaded etc.) must be read using ScenarioObserver.
    - Filtered arrays are supported by the ScenarioObserver. See ScenarioObserver.filter()
    - scenario.getScalar(), getSet(), getArray() and getParameter() can only be invoked against a scenario from a ScenarioObserver.notify() callback.
    - Modifications are performed with ScenarioDataChange. Changes are committed atomically and asynchronously. e.g.
```
    view.modifyFirstScenario()
        .setScalar('scalar1', 7)
        .setScalar('scalar2', 13)
        .commit();
```
    - Scenarios in the ScenarioObserver.notify() callback are immutable.
    - Asynchronous operations now use the ES6 Promise construct instead of success/error callback arguments.
    - The following synchronous and legacy usages have been removed:
      - View.getSelection(). Use View.getScenarioProperties() or View.withScenarios() instead.
      - View.getSelectionSize(). Use view.getScenarioCount() instead.
      - Filter and callback features of scenario.getArray(). Use scenarioObserver.filter() instead.
      - Multi-entity arguments of getScalar(['entity1', 'entity2']) and getSet(['set1', 'set2']). Use single entity arguments instead.
      - Dimensions, all data access is performed against the default dimension.
      - scenario.getArrayElement(). Use scenario.getArray().getValue() instead.
      - scenario.queryArray(), insight.getFetchSize() and insight.setFetchSize(). Use filtered arrays instead.
      - Synchronous modification methods from Scenario of scenario.setScalar(), setParameter(), addToSet(), removeFromSet(), setArrayElement(), removeArrayElement()
      - scenario.prefetchValues(). Handled transparently by ScenarioObserver.withEntities()
      - insight.onDataChanged() and insight.removeDataChangedHandler(). Use the scenario observer construct instead.
      - insight.getUser(). Use view.getUser() instead.
      - ScenarioObserver.onStateChange(). Use ScenarioObserver.withEntities() or ScenarioObserver.withSummaryData() instead.
      - ScenarioObserver.notifyLocalChange(). Use scenario.modify().commit() instead.
  - Single use ScenarioObserver now available with ScenarioObserver.once().
  - ScenarioObservers are automatically notified of local changes when scenario.modify().commit() and view.modifyScenario().commit() are invoked.
  - View Properties introduced to contain and observe local view data (as opposed to persisted scenario data). View Properties are set with view.setProperty(), observable via ScenarioObserver.withViewProperties(), and can be used in ScenarioObserver.filter() and ScenarioObserver.notify().
  - Signature of ScenarioObserver.notify(scenarios, viewProperties) has changed: viewProperties has replaced the now obsolete originator argument.
  - JavaScript API 2.0 requires Internet Explorer 9+, Firefox 23+ or Chrome 29+. Note, Internet Explorer 8 continues to be supported by the legacy 1.x JavaScript APIs and Web Client.
  - Bootstrap 3.3.2 is used for CSS and HTML markup. The 1.x APIs used Bootstrap 2.2.1. Existing views will require HTML and CSS modification to work with the new styles. See the Developer Guide for more information on the changes.
  - Third party library updates
    - JQuery 1.11.2
    - Bootbox 4.3.0
  - AutoText, AutoForm and AutoTable no longer default to using the first scenario if no scenario passed in to the constructor. The scenario argument is now required.
  - AutoTable and Table constructor only accepts a single configuration object. Multi-argument constructor has been removed.
  - Use AutoTable.destroy() and Table.destroy() to clean up the underlying DataTable.
  - Table component editorSave column option returns a Promise instead of saving synchronously and throwing an error on failure.
  - The .btn-execute CSS class has been removed. Use .btn-primary instead.
  - The .section and .bs-docs-example CSS classes have been removed. Bootstrap 3 Panels can be used instead.
VDL
- 2.0
  - VDL 2.0 is implemented on JS API 2.0. VDL 2.0 is required to adopt the peformance and styling improvements of the JS API 2.0.
  - VDL files should specify <vdl version="2.0">
  - Existing VDL 1.0 and custom VDL 1.0 runners are unaffected.

  - Disabled responsive layout in Bootstrap 3. See the Developer Guide for more information.
  - The default fixed width is 1170px.
  - AutoForm field elements have the new attributes size and label-size which give control over the size of the input element and label respectively. The default size for both is 2 (grid units).
  - AutoForm field elements take an additional attribute, rows, specifically for select inputs. This translates to the number of lines shown for the select input and defaults to 1.
  - Added an optional onDispose callback to View.applyVDL(). This allows you to call custom code before VDL redraws the page. It can optionally return a Promise which causes VDL redraw to be suspended until that Promise is settled.
  - VDL AutoText text elements have the new attributes size and label-size which give control over the size of the input element and label respectively. The default size for label is 2 and the default size for the content is 8.

  - Add and remove row now support pre and post call hooks. Pre hooks may be used for validation and post hooks for event notification.
  - Tables may now be filtered by column. This is exposed through a DataTables overrides property passed in to Table or AutoTable
  - The rules around sorting of select options defined in AutoTable editorOptionsSet column options has changed. Sorting is determined as follows:
    - If a set sorter has been assigned to the options set then that will determine sorting of the select options
    - If the set has an associated labels array then the data type of that will determine the sorting
    - Else, the options will be sorted according to the set element data type
    Default sorting according to data type will either be numeric sorting or case-insensitive alphanumeric sorting.
  - Table has a new column option, 'displayType'. This is optional and it will default to the value of the existing 'type' column option. It is used to determine what styling to apply to the column. The 'type' option is used to determine sorting behaviour and fallback display behaviour.
  - AutoTable index columns are now 'td' elements rather than 'th'. They are styled in the same way as before and you can still target them as they have the .index class.
  - AutoForms can now have several run buttons, to support models with different run modes.

JavaScript API

1.3
- The insight api is now exposed as a global variable in the browser
- When using the javascript api you should wrap all your code in an function passed to a insight.ready() call
- Some third-party libraries are now exposed globally to the browser: jquery, underscore.js, bootbox, handlebars, knockout.js, rgraph
- Upgraded to DataTables 1.10.0. This library is used for Insight.components.Table and Insight.components.AutoTable. It is also used by the VDL when using AutoTable elements. For more information the the changes to DataTables see http://datatables.net/upgrade/1.10.
- Add and remove row functionality has been added to AutoTable. This can be enabled by setting the addRemoveRow configuration option to true when constructing an AutoTable or calling ScenarioObserver#bindAutoTable.

Linux

The installer for Optimization modeler server now sets the $XPRESSDIR environment variable globally on the system.
The Linux installation now installs a configuration script, $XPRESSDIR/bin/configure_insight.sh, that can be used for configuration of the Optimization Modeler server.
The configure_insight.sh configuration script requires a new authentication rule to be applied to the PostgreSQL server. The installation guide for PostgreSQL, postgresql-installation.txt, that is part of the installer package shows the rules that should be applied to pg_hba.conf, please check this if you have an existing PostgreSQL install.

Fixed in Release 3.1.0

- The capacity of the system for mirroring large scenarios in parallel has been increased. Previous versions could suffer from issues where the number of long (3 minutes+) scenario mirroring operations in parallel exceeded 5.
- New JavaScript 1.2 API introduces data caching and improved data change handling to make authoring custom views much easier.
- Examples have been updated to use the 1.2 API exclusively.
- New View Definition Language markup for creating views without the need for JavaScript or HTML.
Web Client
- Can now single click on a scenario in the explorer to select it for the shelf.
- Folder properties dialog allows share and ownership status to be updated.
- Folders can now be shared read-only or full with other users.
- Scenario properties dialog provides an option to move the scenario to a new folder location anywhere in the project.
Analyst Client

The analyst client now implements the extra events necessary for running the Offer, Agency and Deal Pricing demos.

JavaScript API

ALL
- The insight-api-latest and insight-components-latest module aliases have been deprecated and fixed the insight-api-1.1 and insight-components-1.1 respectively.
- Bootbox library is now included with the JavaScript API. Previously it was only available after loading insight-components-*.
- UnderscoreJS library is now included with the JavaScript API.
- Insight.Array no longer uses fetchsize to limit the amount data fetched from the server.
- Insight#setFetchSize and Insight#getFetchSize are now deprecated. Calling them will not have any effect.
- Analyst Client receives data changed events containing the list of entities per scenario that have changed. This brings the Analyst Client in line with the Web Client and callbacks registered with Insight#onDataChanged will be compatible between the two environments.
- Analyst Client redirects console logging to the Client Log panel. The redirected methods are: console#log, console#info, console#warn, console#error.
- Insight.components.Table and Insight.components.AutoTable defaults include an additional pagination length option "25".
1.1
- The css class .container no longer has the property "float: left" but instead has a margin-left and margin-right of 0.
- The css class .insight-table that is applied to tables created by the Insight API no longer has the property "table-layout: fixed".
- All action buttons bound to AutoForm are disabled if the view is read-only (Analyst Client). Previously only the "run" and "save" buttons would be disabled.
- Callbacks registered with Insight.components.AutoForm#onDataSaved will correctly pass through the parameters entity and the parameter name as the key when a parameter has been saved.
- Insight.component.Chart in IE8 will now apply the excanvas shim to the target canvas element if it has not already been applied on page load. This fixes an issue trying to create a Chart against a dynamically generated element.
1.2
- Insight.components.Table and Insight.components.AutoTable default configuration does not show the paginate, filter or table info elements. These need to be enabled per table configuration.
- Insight.components.AutoForm will pass any bound parameters through to Insight.validation.EntityValidator with the name "parameters" and the parameter name as the key.
- Insight.components.AutoForm#clearBindings will unbind radio buttons, previous they were left bound to a scenario.
- Insight.components.AutoForm#clearBindings will remove the callback set with Insight.components.AutoForm#onDataSaved if one is set.
- The JavaScript API will set the logging level to WARN by default, i.e. without calling Insight#setDebugEnabled.
- If "debug=true" is present in the Web Client or the view url then the JavaScript API logging level will be set to DEBUG.
- A single copy of Insight.ModelSchema and Insight.Project are loaded and cached when the JavaScript API initializes. The cached of these objects will be returned from: Insight.View#getProject, Insight.Project#getModelSchema and Insight.Scenario#getModelSchema.
- Insight.ArrayIterator has been introduced. An instance is create from an existing Insight.Array by calling Insight.Array#getIterator and provides you with an easily way to loop through its indices and values.
- New API methods:
  - Insight.View#configure
  - Insight.View#getConfiguration

VDL runs on the new JavaScript 1.2 API for enhanced performance.

Known Issues in Release 3.0.0

The Optimization Modeler server can lose communication with its optimization services when installed as a Windows service on a machine that sleeps. On waking, scenarios will remain queued in the job queue until the OM server (not the optimization service) is restarted. Desktop configuration users can work around this by disabling the Windows service and instead instructing the server to start and stop with the Analyst Client, using the bootstrap=true option in the clientconfig file.
There is a known issue with the behaviour of the update-after-execution feature which can corrupt scenario data when the index set of an array marked as update-after-execution is extended. The workaround is to mark all arrays as update-after-execution, the problem only exhibits if some arrays are marked and some arent when the index set is added to.

Fixed in Release 2.1.1

On-premise only release

Fixed an issue where data transfers could possibly fail under very heavy system load

New in Release 2.1.0

On-premise only release

Tableau integration with the web client. Tableau workbook visualizations and associated actions are now available as views in the web client.
Scenario Properties dialog displays scenario attributes and allows editing of name, notes, share status and ownership.
Scenarios can now be shared read-only with other users.
Scenario ownership can now be changed via the Scenario Properties dialog, allowing ownership to be moved between users.
The performance of the web client when updating a small amount of data in a large scenario has been improved.
The performance of the web client when loading scenario data has been considerably improved.
The Client and View APIs now explicitly require Java 7. Legacy code calling these APIs will need to be re-compiled.
Authority requirements can now be specified for Tableau views (per workbook) in the cfile in the same fashion as for custom views.
The memory limit for the 32bit Analyst Client has been reduced from 1000 to 800mb to avoid issues on some machines where it was not possible to allocate the larger block of memory. For instructions on modifying this memory setting please consult the last chapter of the Analyst Client User Guide.

Fixed in Release 2.1.0

On-premise only release

Fixed a memory leak which could degrade performance over time for a 32bit system.
Fixed a defect which limited the size of data accessible via the inter-scenario data exchange feature to 256k.
Raised the time limit for mirroing scenario data from 900 to 3600 seconds.
Scalar entities in virtual scenarios are now mirrored correctly.
A problem with failed login when Firefox and Chrome auto-complete password information has been corrected.

Known Issues in Release 2.1.0

On-premise only release

Tableau views are limited to reporting on a maximum of 32 scenarios.
The dialogs relating to actions on the Tableau views (Export to PDF etc.) have a close icon in the top right corner that breaks the Tableau view if used. The primary close buton on the dialog should be used instead. To recover after using the close icon, navigate away from that view and back again.
Users of Tableau views with IE8 may occasionally experience intermittent font corruption for some views.
Tableau views with scrollbars cannot be scrolled using a mouse wheel.
Data transfers could possibly fail under very heavy system load due, requiring a server restart

New in Release 2.0.8

FICO Analytic Cloud only release

Available as a component on the FICO Decision Management Platform.
Integrates with FICO Analytic Cloud user management; user creation and authentication is delegated. New User function is disabled in Optimization Modeler user management. New users are assigned the Basic User authority group which can subsequently be modified using the Optimization Modeler authority management.
Integrates with FICO Analytic Cloud security; FAC authentication is a pre-requisite for accessing both web interfaces and web services.
The Analyst Client is not available on the FAC.
Integration with Tableau for FICO is not available on the FAC.
New application header in web client.
Styling for version 1.1 JavaScript Components has been updated.
All other features and functions from previous 2.0.x versions of Optimization Modeler are available.
Product name changed from "Xpress-Insight" to "Optimization Modeler" on FICO Analytic Cloud.

Known Issues in Release 2.0.8

FICO Analytic Cloud only release

There is a file size limit on the project upload of 120mb. When this limit is exceeded a warning may be delayed or missing under some conditions.
The Decision Management Platform puts inactive components to sleep. OM will normally take ~ 100 seconds to wake up from this state so a user attempting to connect to an idle OM may receive a 503 service unavailable message. The workaround is to connect a second time once the OM instance has woken up.
Tableau for FICO is not yet supported in the FICO Analytic Cloud. However a project that is configured to use Tableau will consume additional database resources. It is therefore recommended to disable Tableau related configuration (data mirroring definitions) to avoid unnecessary resource usage.

New in Release 2.0.3

Now displays the correct licensing error message when license contains wrong hostid.
Fixed an issue where if the user configures an array A with a labels transformation, then tries to mirror the array in a table with another array B where B contains values for tuples that are not in A, the mirroring will fail with a NullPointerException.
Fixed an issue where incorrect handling of finalizatrion in the model could lead to an error on populating a scenario with input data during execution.
Fixed an issue where if the user modifies and saves values in very large arrays while Insight is generating the mirror tables, after about 1minute and 20 seconds, Insight sends a "PSQLException ERROR"message.
Fixed an issue where under some conditions system would allow only half of the number of concurrent users specified by the license file.
Fixed an issue that could limit the maximum number of concurrent scenario executions to 16.

- New Dashboard feature: The layout and configuration of an open set of views can be saved as a named dashboard and recalled later for a new selection of scenarios. Multiple dashboards can be created. Dashboards are private the user that created them.
- New Tableau feature: This version of Insight can be integrated with Tableau Server such that Tableau vizualizations are presented as Insight views. The Flowshop example demonstrates a Tableau view is action.
- New Mirroring feature: Insight can now be configured to mirror its repository as an uncompressed postgresql database to aid third party reporting tools in querying the data.
- Significantly enhanced modular JavaScript View API for adding custom html views (legacy compatibility for versions prior to 1.1.9).
- Updates to the JS component methods, especially constructors. These changes are not compatible with the draft edition of the components (1.1.9-1.2.3), see examples for a demonstration of the minor upgrade changes required.
- The viewing, filtering and sorting of very large (1M+ rows) tables has been significantly improved, particularily on multi-core machines.
- The Analyst client tables views have been upgraded to include copy/paste and csv import/export.
- Scenarios can access the data of other scenarios (even across projects) from within the Mosel model using the new mminsight.scenariodata IO driver. Scenarios are referenced by their location (path) in the Insight repository.
- New REST web service API for directly accessing the Insight Server.
Analyst Client

Custom HTML Views
- JavaScript UI components are provided for forms, tables and charts that are designed to intergate seamlessly with the JavaScript API.
- Best practice CSS styling provided, based on Bootstrap.
- JavaScript API and components are now modular and versioned, and should be loaded into custom views with Require.JS. This change is not compatible with the first edition of the new JS API (1.1.9-1.2.3), see examples for a demonstration of the minor upgrade changes required.
- Includes a basic web-client for demonstration purposes, available on http://<insight-server>:8860/insight.
- Components and Bootstrap styling are now IE8 compatible.
Tableau and Mirroring
- The Insight Installer now includes a component "Tableau Connect" which if installed (default is not installed) will configure a previously installed local Tableau 8 installation for use with Insight.

- Custom authorities required by a project can now be specified in the cfile and will be created on project load if they dont already exist.
- Repository import/export now includes custom authorities.
- Entity hidden status is now tri-state true/false/always. True and false settings determine default visibility which can be overrdiden with a "show hidden" option on the UI. This enhancement now allows previously permanently hidden entities such as sets and label arrays to be made visible.
- Authority requirements can now be specified for view interfaces in the Cfile XML. Users without the necessary authorities do not see the view interfaces as menu options in the UI.
- Mosel model version now recorded and reported on project properties view.
- Web content for custom HTML views is now served exclusively from the server and not copied to the local client filesystem.
- Calls to exit in the mosel model with a non-zero value are now interpreted as scenario execution failure.
- New project option to defer results deletion until either a. scenario is queued for execution or b. scenario executes. If one of these choices is selected then any input data modifications cause the results data to be marked as dirty but not deleted.
- JS API errors in production (with the API debug setting turned off) will cause a message to be shown to the end user "This view has encountered an error and must close" followed by the view closing. This avoids a malfunctioning view causing performance issues in the client.
- Custom views can now specify the user-defined authorities that they require before being available to the user. Java-based custom views can access the user authority list by API call. HTML-based custom views can specify required authorities in the companion file configuration section for the browser view interface.
- Scenarios and VSGs now have an editable notes field available on the scenario properities view.
- The scenario summary view is renamed to scenario properties view, accessible from the "Properties" menu option.
- New properties view for a project lists all visible entities in the project model schema and the descriptions or entity type if available.
- Project properties view now shows recorded model version for project.
- Improved tooltips are now displayed against entities in the entity explorer and constraints in the model table. HTML or textual content from the entity description field of the companion file is displayed in the tooltip and can contain hyperlinks which open other views. The width and height of the tooltip can be specified by description element attributes.
- The admin menu in the analyst client is now only accessible if the user has at least one administrator level authority.
- The developer menu in the analyst client is now only accessible if the user has the DEVELOPER authority and starts the client with the developer command line argument or equivalent start menu option.
- The JavaScript API had an undocumented feature that implicitly saved the scalar values in the HTML form called 'mainform'. This is no longer supported and the view must now set the scalar values explicitly.
- ViewData methods have been removed from the XPRIServerModel interface. Any data previously stored using XPRIServerModel.setViewData will be deleted from the repository when Insight 1.2 is installed.

New in Release 1.1.9
