Xpress Insight 4.59 comes with several enhancements to the VDL language and VDL expressions to ease UI development. In particular, the support of VDL Actions for data transformations will help developers to conveniently move filtering and data aggregations out of the model and into the VDL language of the app.
Key features include:
- VDL actions for data transformations, e.g., dynamic filtering and aggregation:
To separate concerns between model development and report developments in the UI, a concept based on VDL Actions has been developed for how to filter and aggregate data. Following this paradigm, e.g., distribution charts can be easily created.
In future releases of Xpress Insight 5, this concept will evolve and expand. - An observable scenario editable state has been added. The editable state of a scenario changes to false when it is reserved for execution (queued, executing or completing). This can be helpful to apply conditional logic in views. This is exposed in VDL expressions as scenario.editable.
- VDL charts now supports a second entity that is displayed on a dual axis. The x-axis data can more flexibly provided by array entities rather than only index sets.
- In VDL expressions, the scenario.executionStatus has been added to retrieve information during solve conveniently. At the same time, some changes to the summaryData object have been incorporated.
- When deployed in the cloud version of Insight, an app will only be able to communicate with endpoints exposed by other platform components, solution services and DMP Manager by using the 'dmp' module of Mosel. Self-authentication by requesting a bearer token from DMP IAM webservice is no longer possible. Attempting to access platform endpoints using 'mmhttp', or a dmpresource initialized by 'dmpiniturl', will fail with status code 997.
- With this release support for RHEL8 and Microsoft Edge have been added. RHEL6 and Internet Explorer 11 are no longer officially supported.
The former banner warning users that their browser may not be supported has been removed given the fact that most of client apps actually worked on other browsers as well. - Added support for Tableau 2021.4. Following Tableau’s general support policy, from this Tableau version onwards a 24 months support policy is applied.
- With this release, Insight 5 is becoming the default release of Insight for paying clients of our software. Users should start migrating from Insight 4 to Insight 5. Maintenance and support for Insight 4 will end in April 2024.
- Xpress Insight 4 is currently not compatible with Java 11.0.15 on Windows. If you are using Java 11.0.15, please downgrade to Java 11.0.14.
