New Functionality and Changes Introduced with Xpress Workbench 3.7
New in Xpress Workbench 3.7
- View Designer: Upgraded to VDL version 5.0 for all new VDL files created from a template or the quick start app.
- View Designer: Support for VDL 4.8 files remains for existing VDL views.
- View Designer: Added Tableau component, this enables you to configure one or more Tableau visualizations within your view.
- Tableau Workbooks: once published to an Insight 5 server, Tableau Workbooks are no longer synced between Workbench, Insight, and Tableau. A Full Publish to an existing Insight 5 app will now remove any Workbooks that are no longer present in Workbench.
- Insight Companion files created from File menu or via the Views control on the Insight pane will now be written for Insight 5 apps. There are comments in the newly-created Companion file, advising users of earlier versions of Insight of the changes they will need to make in order to downgrade.
- When launching a Mosel process, PATH and related environment variables have the relevant location for the Xpress installation applied to the start, so they take precedence over any others that may be in the environment variable already. (Previously, the Xpress installation folders would not be added to the start of the path if they were present already.)
Fixes in Xpress Workbench 3.7
- (Desktop, macOS) The long path name issue referred to in the 3.6.2 section of these notes has been ameliorated; it now only affects extremely long paths that will not fit on the command-lines of some executables.
- (Desktop) Opening multiple projects at once would fail due to network ports not being available.
