What's The Current Version, Since When?

Post by Alan Kirk »

The Headline
  • PA2 Server: 2.0.9.18, 10 Jul 2023
  • PASS (Web): 2.0.75, 08 Apr 2022
  • PAW: 2.0.75, 18 Apr 2022
  • PAfE: 2.0.75, 08 Apr 2022
About This Thread
A "short cadence" release cycle is also known as "nobody in the real world has time to test monthly releases, and if certain software companies don't realise that then it speaks volumes about how in touch they are with their customers". Another side effect of this is that it becomes really, really difficult to keep up with what the current individual components are.

The Fix Pack Releases: PA2 / V11 Series thread keeps track of the server software (the Version 10 thread has seen no activity for the last 3 years and has been unpinned to be replaced by this one), but there are other components as well.

As new releases are done they will push down below the older ones so that there is a quick reference to what was current when. This post is a work in progress and as of February 2022 goes back to the start of 2021 for non-server components, further for the server ones. I plan to colour code the types to split them up in the history and make them easier to spot; red for the server since it's critical to a site, green for PAfE because of the colour of Excel, brown for PAW because it's the colour that I most associate with, um,... it.

The thread has been locked to prevent it veering off in "interesting" directions; for any discussions, issues, corrections etc please create a thread in the main forum.

There will be minimal if any details of each release partly to stop post bloat, and partly because IBM tends not to bother giving us clear details of what each version represents. ("Fixed server crash in certain situations" is hardly bubbling over with yummy detailed goodness.) Anything critical will be mentioned.

HISTORY
  • 2023-07 (Jul)
  • PAL 2.0.9.18 (10 Jul 2023) TM1sd Version Number 11.8.2200.2.
  • 2023-05 (May)
  • PAL 2.0.9.17 (05 May 2023) TM1sd Version Number Unknown.
    CAUTIONl This release (and .16) was pulled because of a failure to calculate rule values in cubes which did not use skipcheck/feeders, as documented here. The version is no longer available for download and users should go straight to 2.0.9.18 (July 2023).
  • 2023-02 (Feb)
  • PAL 2.0.9.16 (28 Feb 2023) TM1sd Version Number Unknown.
    CAUTIONl This release (and .17) was pulled because of a failure to calculate rule values in cubes which did not use skipcheck/feeders, as documented here. The version is no longer available for download and users should go straight to 2.0.9.18 (July 2023).
  • 2022-10 (Oct)
  • PAL 2.0.9.15 (19 Oct 2022) TM1sd Version Number TBA.
  • Main Updates: The Fix List goes on for literally THREE PAGES, so if there is something amiss with your system you may want to peruse it yourself. A lot of these were server crash issues, which are summarised as far as is possible below:
    • When using Performance Monitor;
    • When using an element attribute in internal sandbox dimensions;
    • When using default spreading precision;
    • When using the dimension logger;
    • When using an MDX query using a calculated member when there is no accessible member on one axis;
    • When the server tries to write to an open subset file;
    • When using SaveDataAll then CubeSaveData;
    • Replacing the default MDX with a custom MDX in a cube view in PAW;
    • When building an asymmetric view in PAW.
  • There were also several issues relating to connections and data updates:
    • PrologMinorErrorCount would append instead of resetting when the process is run in a chore.
    • The TI function SetUseActiveSandboxProperty() will cause inconsistent behaviour in sandbox updates;
    • TI processes using an alias may update the wrong cells because of caching;
    • The undocumented StargateOptimizationInRules=T parameter may cause memory stack overflows in views;
    • User DSNs are not selectable as ODBC data sources... not that I would regard that as a bad thing;
    • A DB finction which references an invalid member in a hierarchy would return a total value instead of 0;
    • For MSSQL, the "Use" keyword had been failing after upgrading to 2.0.9.14.
  • 2022-05 (May)
  • PAL 2.0.9.14 (27 May 2022) TM1sd Version Number TBA.
  • Main Updates:
    • Slow updates from ODBC and ODBCOutput. (I presume this was fixed; it's mentioned on the fix list.)
    • Held cells could remain held after a cencel operation.
    • Connection error occurred when ODBCOPen was used with a Unicode data source.
    • Print To Excel snapshot did not work in Perspectives.

    • Leading blanks from static validation list should be removed on TM1 Web.
    • Quick report with hierarchy shows no data when published to Planning Analytics Spreadsheet Services 2.0.66.
  • PAfE / PAXL / PAX 2.0.75 (08 Apr 2022) Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel 2.0.75
    • Incorrect behavior when moving the dimension pane in an exploration.
    • Bad request (400) - when creating a report or expanding members under cube with percent character (%) in cube name
    • Unable to open set editor in Planning Analytics for Excel when SUBNM has a wrong element and has no subset specified.
  • 2022-03 (Mar)
  • PAW 2.0.74 (21-Mar-21) Planning Analytics Workspace Release 74
    • This release finally supports Windows Server 2019.
    • There's one significant depreciation item. "The IBM Planning Analytics team intends to remove the capability to remain on Planning Analytics Workspace Classic and preview the Planning Analytics Workspace new experience as part of the Planning Analytics Workspace update in July 2022. The 'new experience' is a major update to the Planning Analytics Workspace user experience released as part of the 2.0.56 update in October 2020."

    • What happened to 71 and 72? for PAfE and PASS?
    • "To simplify and align IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel (PAfE) releases with those across IBM Planning Analytics Workspace (PAW), IBM is labeling its next PAfE release as IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel 2.0.73."

    • IBM sent out an e-mail on 29 July advising that 2.0.9.8 was available. The link in that e-mail is now dead. It seems unlikely that 2.0.9.8 would be re-released (after it was pulled following initial release; see 28 May 2021) since 2.0.9.9 had been released about 2 weeks earlier. It's more likely that the e-mail was an error.
