Enhanced SQL Backend Integration​

New Portable Backend Adapter (PBA) 🔃​

Added Value: Greater flexibility in integrating your existing databases, allowing you to maximize the use of your data infrastructure without complex migrations.

Introducing the portable backend adapter (PBA), designed for flexible SQL backend integration. While initially optimized for Snowflake, this versatile adapter can also connect with databases like BigQuery and other in-memory columnar store models. This ensures full compatibility with your current Qlik scripts, template apps, and supports Delta Load functionalities, giving you more freedom to leverage various data sources.

SAP ChangeLog Optimization​

Optimized SAP ChangeLog Extraction ⚡​

Added Value: Enhanced extraction speed and reliability, reducing operational bottlenecks and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making.

Our latest release brings significant improvements to SAP ChangeLog extraction using the Qlik SAP SQL Connector, aligning it with the mpmX v2.5 code and feature set. Key enhancements include:

• Improved Performance: Faster run times in Delta Extract Mode, allowing for more efficient processing of large data volumes.
• Automated Handling: Seamless full/delta switching with automatic initialization detection, minimizing manual interventions and saving time.
• Robust Handling of Complex Scenarios: Improved management of unique and complex data scenarios, ensuring smoother data extraction processes and minimizing potential errors.

mpmX Import Wizard​

Enhanced Import Wizard 💫​

Added Value: Simplifies the process of connecting new data sources, allowing you to mine valuable insights faster and streamline decision-making.

The Import Wizard now supports easy selection and connection to Snowflake, PostgreSQL, and other SQL-based databases. This enhancement significantly reduces setup time, allowing you to integrate new data sources seamlessly and start mining data insights with minimal effort.

The current v.2.4 release is a minor update to the major v2.3.0 update that occurred in Feb. 2024 in the previous documentation format.

New Help Documentation 🎊​

---

We are happy to introduce our new mpmX Help Documentation portal with a fresh and modern look & feel and an improved user experience. The new Help Docs can be found at the same url as before: https://help.mpmx.com.

The new mpmX Help Documentation begins with content from the v2.3.0/v2.4.0 release.

Key Improvements​

• A modern layout & formatting
• Improved structure and naming of the material for easier navigation
• New content to fill in knowledge gaps in various areas
• Advanced search capabilities to easily find any topic in the documentation
• Quick version switching (going forward)
• Dark mode option
• And more…

Fixes & Technical Details 💻 🐛​

---

Fix - Grouping | Process Analyzer​

• Grouping was not working in some constellations and is now available again.
• OCPM mode now supports groups as well.
• The mpmX Grouping feature allows activities to be grouped together in the mpmX ProcessAnalyzer which simplifies the process graph for analysis.
• When groups are collapsed you get a higher level overview of the process. You can then expand one or more groups to look into the details.
• For more information on Grouping visit the page "Grouping in the Process Analyzer"

Fix - Path Highlighting | Process Analyzer​

• Path highlighting was not working in some constellations.
• The feature creates a better visibility of the additional process variant when using the ‘+’ Button on the Variants Slider
• The new variant is colored with the default color of the graph and all remaining nodes and edges (“old” variants) are displayed in grey.
• Additionally, new nodes/edges within the new variant (that didn’t occur before) are highlighted to show what elements were added to the graph.

Other Improvements​

• Separation for API and environment variables
• qvd-builder template for SAP changelog
• Excel replace expression for variable expansion in excel config tables
• Renamed mpmX_pm_loadProcessAnalyticsModel to mpmX_pm_loadAnalyticProcessModel

Whats new: Major Changes by Role​

Data Engineer​

Algorithm Optimization​

• Refactoring improves overall speed and easier maintenance
• Scripts have improved Modularization
• Easier to customize and extend
  • For more information on that you can check out the Folder Structure.
• Performance improvement in mining
  • Optimization of the processing sequence
  • Summary of calculation steps
  • Reduction in the number of in-memory reloads of the event/process log
  • Optimization of the pareto implementation
  • Optimization of the preparation of multilingual report labels and the handling of multilingual content in the model

New Infrastructure​

• Partial loads are now possible! For example, if we want to configure an additional happy path, we can load only the conformance checking logic without mining the whole process. This makes the process more efficient and faster without rebuilding the whole model from scratch.

• Scripts are now outsourced for better development. This has the big advantage of version management because changes can be tracked. The Data Load Editor version is still supported if you want to stick with it. For more information you can read "Work in the Script Editor within the mpmX app after updating to Versions v2.3 or higher".

OpenAI Analytics Connector​

• OpenAI Analytics Connector provides real-time access to generative content in mpmX.
  • Admins can securely integrate natural language insights from OpenAI into analytics apps.
  • The connector allows synthesis and combination of third-party data into existing data models, directly ask questions of ChatGPT augmented with data from Qlik, and much more.
• The Qlik analytics engine can be configured to send subsets of data to OpenAI in real time for insights and answers in context as users make selections.

Business User & Business Analyst​

New Template App & Master Item Repository​

• We have restructured the frontend by using fewer variables within the formulas. This means that customizations now need to be done inside the repository. We have reduced the number of Master Items for better overview and maintenance.

• We now have two new sheets: The Resource Analysis Sheet and the Root Cause Analysis Sheet which derive from:

  • The Root Cause Analysis, which was previously implemented in the toolbar.
  • The Resource Analysis which was combined with the Process Discovery via a Toggle-Button

• We experienced that most of our Users don't need as many tools as were provided in the previous versions. Therefore the Toolbar moved upwards and is now reduced to:

  • Process Analyzer
  • Activity Filter
  • Process Pattern Search
  • Lead Time Filter
  • Process Variants Inspector

Process Analyzer​

• Process Analyzer leaves beta status and can now be used in productive environments.
  • Unprecedented Speed: Experience graphical analysis of your processes, enabling you to identify opportunities for improvement faster than ever.
  • New Framework: Nebula.js which delivers much faster results

Business Apps​

• New Business Apps are now available.
• Use OOTB Business Value in these Business Cases:
  • ITSM (matrix42)
  • D.3 Invoice
  • Banking (for finance customers)

New Table Diagram​

• The Table diagram was updated and offers new visualizations.
  • App users can flexibly choose table display, add and adjust multiple fields simultaneously.
  • App creators can customize columns, add alternative dimensions and metrics.
  • Settings like column width, pagination, and chart review activation are possible.
  • Users without editing rights can customize the table chart in analysis mode.
  • Customizations include adding/removing columns, changing sort order, and making selections.
  • Particularly useful in apps viewed by numerous users with diverse requirements.
