Functional Enhancements (Development)

Updating from 11.x to 12.0

Version 12.0 contains all features and fixes from 11.x. The release notes for 12.0 only contain information for 12.0.

 

Improved Query Triggering for Nested Cost Models

In platform version 11, the feature of nested cost models was introduced: Cost models can use other existing cost models as sub-models to calculate processes etc. in more detail. A cost-model can specify a formula for all input properties of each sub-model to simulate user input.

In version 12, the model expert can now use the FACTON CMD or the SDE to define all or some of a model’s input properties as "trigger properties". If the cost engineer, when using the model, changes one of these properties, that will trigger a change of the input properties of the sub-models, which in turn triggers an update of the queries contained in the sub-model.

Query Analysis

The FACTON client (not FACTON CMD or SDE) now provides an advanced query view which can be used by solution developers to find out for an arbitrary query, if functions are missing in the solution to support optimal performance of the query.

API Improvements

There is improved monitoring of API calls on the application server side to better support API clients in optimizing performance / usage patterns. API calls can now contain FQL queries in the payload (not just the URL) to support large FQL query texts.
