List of changes in version 24.1

Overview

This article provides a list of the issues fixed and new functionality added in version 24.1 of Dundas BI, and for Managed Dashboards and Reports in Logi Symphony where applicable.

Version 24.1.0.1000

Behavior changes

TicketDetails
DUN-93861 Ubuntu 18 is no longer supported for running Dundas BI directly on Linux. Python 3.7 or older is not supported when using Python transforms or the metric set Assistant, which can mean these features are not currently available when running directly on RHEL 8. The Assistant can be disabled using the Machine Learning Provider configuration setting. Other Linux distributions or versions, Kubernetes, and Docker are alternative options.
CMP-670 To update the default visualization saved in the underlying metric set based on the current one in a dashboard or other view, first click Visualization in the Data Analysis Panel and then click Update Metric Set.
CMP-1220 When deploying on Kubernetes, the default value for dundas.bi.website.service.sessionAffinity has been changed from ClientIP to None if not set in your own YAML values.
