v1.8.1

June 06, 2018

New features

  • Minimum commit is now supported in the charge engine When generating a report, the results for any services that have a minimum commit value (and for which the usage does not meet that minimum commit quantity) will be adjusted to reflect that minimum commit value.

  • Updates to internal service and rate schema The rate attributes min_commit and threshold are now implemented and the API will return a slightly different schema for the /v1/services endpoint (and related /v1/dump models) - the rate_type attribute is now called charge_type. More information can be found at https://api.exivity.com/#0f8c2ac2-1f56-3c54-3000-210a5e94bd61

  • The charge engine now includes information about proration adjustments When applying proration to a monthly service, the charge engine will now include information in the raw report data which shows the amount that the unprorated charged was reduced by. This information will be used by the GUI in a future release.

  • Proration is now applied to monthly services where applicable Report results for monthly services that are flagged as being prorated will now reflect a percentage of the monthly charge, based on the number of days in the month that the service is used.

  • GUI preferences are now saved for each user For example, selected reports, date ranges and filters are now persisted for each user, so they can be restored after logging out and in again.

  • The charge engine can now execute a script passed to it via standard input The charge engine can now execute a reportfile passed to it via standard input. This internal change results in fewer termporary files on disk during normal use.

  • Error reporting can now be disabled in configuration

  • Transcript can now import usage data from existing RDFs The 'import' statement in Transcript can now retrieve the raw usage data from an existing RDF file.

  • Usernames are no longer case sensitive when loggin in

  • Transformers now always run with loglevel = warn when triggered in workflows

  • Service and service category filters now only show items actually in the visible report

  • USE will now trap more HTTP errors When enacting some HTTP operations, if an error such as a timeout or invalid host is encountered, USE will now return an error in the HTTP_STATUS_CODE variable instead of automatically terminating the script.

  • Added daily usage information for monthly services in the charge engine When generating a report, the charge engine will now include information about the usage quantity for each day in the charge interval. This information will be used by the GUI in a future release.

  • Drilldown functionality is now available from the legend in reports

  • Reference account information in ETL Account information can now be imported directly during the data transformation step, such that existing account data can be used to enrich the data being processed.

  • Increased HTTP client timeout USE will now wait for a three minutes by default before deciding that the connection has timed out if no data is received after the initial connection to a server has been made.

  • Improved the syntax for options to the 'import' statement in Transcript The options supported by the 'import' statement must now be formatted such that there is a single option per line of script. This removes the previous requirement to quote the list of column names when using 'select' and 'ignore', as well as the requirement to quote the expression used by the 'filter' option.

  • Added a system variable to return the last day of any given month A new system variable has been implemented which will return the last day in any given calendar month.

  • The 'correlate' transform now supports a default DSET for column names The 'correlate' statement always uses the default DSET as the destination for correlated columns but now supports an 'assume' parameter which determines the default DSET within which to locate non-fully-qualified source columns.

  • Added a button to the detailed widget in reports to toggle search field

  • Added an option to configuration to add a custom Google Analytics property

  • The charge engine can now be used to identify unused service definitions

    The charge engine now supports the ability to retrieve a list of services which are not used by any existing reports.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the depth filter wouldn't reload after preparing a report

  • Improved the print/PDF layout of consolidated invoices

  • Fixed a bug where the summary in Instance reports would sometimes remain empty

  • The charge engine now correctly deletes un-needed RDFs The charge engine now includes a mechanism to 'unload' historical data. This is an internal mechanism which will be used by the GUI in a future release.

  • Services for users with limited access to accounts are now filtered

  • When creating services, an instancecol parameter is now required _Previously it was possible to create services with no instance_col specified. This would result in missing data in reports if no instance_col was specified. Transcript now requires that an instance_col parameter is provided to the 'service' and 'services' statements.

  • Consolidated invoices can now be exported to PDF

  • Fixed an issue where in some circumstances the reports wouldn't load

  • It is now possible to view budget audit trails

  • The 'import' statement in Transcript now correctly imports usage data in all forms of the statement Fixed a bug whereby when using automatic source and alias tagging, the 'import' statement would not permit the importing of usage data from an existing RDF

  • Improved readability of text when a light background colour is chosen

  • USE will no longer reject some valid expressions In some cases, a valid expression in a script was rejected as having an unbalanced number of brackets. This has now been fixed.

  • The charge engine can now delete services associated with DSETs that are unused by any reports Fixed a bug where the charge engine would not correctly delete services if there were no RDF files for the DSET that the service is associated with.

  • The reset pins button has been moved to the top of the detailed widget in reports
