New features

Visual Overview: Retrieving the contributing booking ID of a resource [ID 34306]

In Visual Overview, it is now possible to retrieve the contributing booking ID of a resource.

• By specifying the ContributingBooking property in the [Resource:] placeholder.

  Example: [Resource:[pagevar:IDOfSelection], ContributingBooking]

• By specifying the following in a shape that is linked to an element and that has "UseResource=true" set in its Options shape data field.

  • A shape data field of type Info set to "Contributing Booking" and an asterisk character ("*") in the shape text:

    Example:

    Shape data field	Value
    Element	[pagevar:idofselection]
    Options	UseResource=true
    Info	Contributing Booking

    Shape text: Contributing booking: *

    OR

  • A [Contributing Booking] placeholder in the shape text:

    Example:

    Shape data field	Value
    Element	[pagevar:idofselection]
    Options	UseResource=true

    Shape text: Contributing booking: [Contributing Booking]

DataMiner Cube - Resources app: Removing resources from all pools [ID 34311]

When you move one or more resources from a pool to the (uncategorized) pool, a confirmation box will now appear to warn you that, if you click Yes, the resources in question will be removed from all pools.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Enhanced shape positioning [ID 34356]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when setting the X and Y position of a shape.

DataMiner Cube - System Center: New DataMiner log file 'SLRADIUS.txt' [ID 34396]

In the Logging section of System Center, you can now also consult the SLRADIUS.txt log file.

Visual Overview: Shape data items of type 'NavigatePage' can now have values that include dynamic placeholders [ID 34442]

Shape data items of type NavigatePage can now have values that include dynamic placeholders referring to session variables, parameters, etc.

Visual Overview: New OverridePageName option [ID 34476]

From now on, you can override a Visio page name by specifying an "OverridePageName=NewPageName" option in a page-level shape data field of type Options. When you do so, the page in question will be handled as if its name were NewPageName.

Note

• Always use the actual page name when referring to a particular page in options like e.g. VdxPage, NavigatePage, InlineVdx, etc. Using a page override when referring to a page will not work.
• This feature allows you to define duplicate page names. When you do so, take into account that components that display Visio page names may then also display those duplicate page names.
• Visio files used in web apps do not support the OverridePageName option.

Visual Overview: Shape data items of type 'ParametersSummary' can now have values that include dynamic placeholders referring to session variables [ID 34483]

Shape data items of type ParametersSummary can now have values that include dynamic placeholders referring to session variables.

Changes

Enhancements

DataMiner Cube - Service & Resource Management: Function resource icons are now centered in service definition diagrams [ID 34249]

In service definition diagrams, function resource icons are now centered.

Trending - Behavioral anomaly detection: Enhanced flatline detection [ID 34319]

A number of enhancements have been made with regard to the detection of change points of type "flatline".

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Service context of a linked shape will only be determined when the service context has been specified [ID 34340]

When a shape was linked to an element that was not part of a service, up to now, an attempt would be made to determine the service context even when no service context had been specified. From now on, the service context will only be determined when the service context has been specified in the shape.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Enhanced performance when sorting dynamically positioned shapes [ID 34351]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when sorting dynamically positioned shapes.

Trending - Behavioral anomaly detection: Enhanced analysis of anomalous change points [ID 34376]

When you enabled alarm monitoring for a specific type of anomaly in an alarm template, since DataMiner feature version 10.2.6, it was assumed that you wished to be alerted to all behavioral changes of that type.

From now on, an automatic anomaly significance check will be performed. Per trended parameter, this check will filter out behavioral changes that cannot be considered anomalous with respect to the history of behavioral changes of the parameter in question. Behavioral changes similar to changes that have occurred regularly or frequently in the historical behavior of a parameter will not be labelled anomalous and will therefore not cause an alarm to be generated when anomaly monitoring is enabled for the parameter and anomaly type in question.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Caching of user settings in order to enhanced performance [ID 34383]

In Visual Overview, the current value of the following user settings will now be cached in order to enhance performance:

• Open element cards undocked (Settings window)
• AlarmSettings.Blinking (MaintenanceSettings.xml file)

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Enhanced performance when determining whether a shape is clickable [ID 34386]

A number of enhancements have been made to the procedure called to determine whether a shape is clickable.

Visual Overview: Enhanced performance when drawing connection lines [ID 34409]

Because of a number of enhancements, overall performance has increased when drawing connection lines on a visual overview.

Alarm Console: Enhanced clearing of behavioral anomaly alarms [ID 34427]

Suggestion events and alarm events will now automatically be cleared sooner than 2 hours after their creation or last update when a new behavioral change is detected that ends the previous anomalous behavioral change.

For example, when an alarm was created for an anomalous level increase at 1 PM, and a behavioral change point is detected at 2 PM when the level drops again, then the alarm created at 1 PM will be closed at 2 PM.

Trending - Behavioral anomaly detection: Suggestion events will only be created for the most significant changes [ID 34513]

Prior to DataMiner 10.2.11/10.3.0, suggestion events are created for all anomalous behavioral changes that do not have alarm monitoring enabled. From DataMiner 10.2.11/10.3.0 onwards, they are only created for the most significant changes. There is also a maximum of 500 suggestion events related to behavioral anomaly detection at the same time.

Fixes

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Problem with conditional shape manipulation actions 'Show' and 'Hide' [ID 34108]

When, in a particular shape, you had specified a Show or Hide action with a condition, the shape would incorrectly always be visible, whether the condition was true or false.

DataMiner Cube - Trending: Y axis would incorrectly show other values when the trend graph showed a constant exception value [ID 34242]

When you opened a trend graph that only showed a constant exception value, the Y axis would incorrectly not only show the exception value but also a number of other values. In cases like this, from now on, the Y axis will only show the exception value.

DataMiner Cube - Trending: Y-axis values did not take into account the number of decimals configured in the protocol.xml file [ID 34269]

When you opened a trend graph, the Y-axis values would incorrectly not take into account the number of decimals configured in the protocol.xml file for the parameters in question.

DataMiner Cube - Alarm Console: Negative counters in the footer bar [ID 34318]

On systems with active correlation rules, in some rare cases, the counters in the footer bar of the Alarm Console could show negative numbers.

DataMiner Cube - EPM: Not possible to add a second parameter to a trend graph of an EPM object [ID 34323]

When you opened a trend graph of an EPM object, it would not be possible to add a second parameter. After you had added a new parameter, the drop-down box would incorrectly only contain the current parameter.

DataMiner Cube - Booking app: Booking updates would cause the UI to flicker [ID 34349]

When one of the listed bookings was updated, all bookings would incorrectly be re-rendered, causing the UI to flicker.

DataMiner Cube - Spectrum analysis: Preset would not be loaded when clicking 'View buffer' [ID 34357]

When, in a Spectrum card, you clicked View buffer, the preset contained inside the buffer would incorrectly not be loaded. As a result, incorrect threshold values would be displayed.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Problem when receiving a DCF connection line update [ID 34375]

An error could occur when the client received a DCF connection line update.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Problem when the Parameter shape data field of a range slider control contained a dynamic placeholder referring to a session variable [ID 34389]

When the shape data field Parameter of a range slider control contained a dynamic placeholder referring to a session variable, it would no longer be possible to move the slider when the value of the session variable changed from valid to invalid or vice versa.

DataMiner Cube - Visual Overview: Fix multiple script executions on page shape data change [ID 34412]

When, on page level, you had configured a data field of type Execute containing multiple Set actions with placeholders as well as a Script action, the script would incorrectly get executed multiple times when the page was opened.

DataMiner Cube - Alarm Console: Problem when loading an alarm tab with hyperlink columns [ID 34420]

In some cases, DataMiner Cube could become unresponsive when loading an alarm tab with hyperlink columns, especially when that alarm tab contained a large number of alarms.

DataMiner Cube: EPM diagrams would incorrectly get mixed up when selecting a formerly selected field in an EPM filter box [ID 34431]

When, in an EPM filter box, you selected a field, selected another field, and then selected the first field again, in some cases, the diagrams linked to those two fields would incorrectly get mixed up.

DataMiner Cube - Alarm Console : Problem when loading an alarm tab [ID 34539]

When a new alarm tab with a large number of correlated alarms was being loaded, in some cases, an exception could be thrown and the alarm tab would keep on loading.
