Breaking Changes

Improvements

Installation

Important

This release of SEI has a new package for the Excel Add-in installation. Before installing version 2024 R3, you need to uninstall your current version of Excel Add-in. Once version 2024 R3 will be installed, subsequent installations will not require any uninstallations.

  • The Excel Add-in installer now automatically detects the most recent installed version of Excel and its architecture (32 or 64 bits) and automatically attaches the add-in to Excel.

  • The Server installer now does the DCOM setup for the Excel Add-in distribution.

  • The BI Service will no longer exist as of Release 2024 R3.

    Note

    Web Server now represents the Web Client component and the BI Service Windows Service.

Web Server

  • Improvement of SEI's overall performance, such as logging in, opening a view, report, or dashboard.

  • The Dashboard and Report interfaces now have a new tooltip to assist in identifying the source of the view.

DataSync

  • Security improvements were made in DataSync.

Fixes

Web Server

  • In Data Extraction, disabling the toggle button Refresh on Open did not halt the refresh function as expected.

  • The Data Extraction popup would close when there was an error in creating/updating the extraction table.

  • When utilizing user calculated columns within reports containing special characters, these characters might not decode as intended.

  • Worksheets containing a custom spacer column did not open as expected.

  • In Dashboard, the funnel chart was not displayed correctly.

  • In Dashboard views on mobile, the Toggle Maximize option was not available.

  • In certain scenarios following a server upgrade, global variables might not resolve as expected.

  • When creating a Global Script, the Add button did not allow to add parameters in the Script content box.

  • Confirming edits on the Manage Info pages resulted in a redirect to the login page, which prevented the completion of changes.

  • Engaging certain buttons within the custom calculation window of the report designer might initiate an unexpected refresh.

  • The verbosity of certain messages displayed in the logs was improved.

  • Errors were logged upon saving a new Data Model, although no immediate impact to front-end functionality was observed.

  • Console errors were present after setting the password for a new user on the account confirmation page.

  • In an Oracle Central point, copying a data model would throw an error.

  • In some instances, the session did not expire after a predefined time. This has been adjusted to expire after 12 hours as recommended by the OWASP.

  • The End User License Agreement (EULA) has been updated.

OLAP Manager

  • An error occurred when creating a monthly Cube Scheduler job in Oracle and a month is not set.

  • Dimension and measure descriptions were not appearing in the Data Model Designer as expected. (Note that you need to build your Cube to apply the fix.)

Distribution

  • In some instances, the distribution history did not display the error icon as expected.

  • Additional buttons could appear upon scrolling within the Distribution Excel Add-in tab, which were unnecessary and potentially replicated existing functions.

  • When attempting to upload an Excel file name containing space, it would not correctly add to the Excel Add-in tab.

DataSync

  • In Cloud, the list of variables was displayed incorrectly.

  • In an OData connector setup with SXA, it was not possible to preview or synchronize the calculated field based on a user defined dimension field.
