New Updates

The BI Monitor v4.2.4 Fix Pack3 provides the following new updates:

  1. Enhance the client response time of the Workflow Dashboard and Business Dashboard for basic and default views and reports when using Oracle database.

  2. In case of using Oracle database, The following JVM parameter monitor.db.OracleOptEnabled must be added and its value must be set to True. To add a JVM Parameter, do the following:

    In WebSphere Application Server 4.0.X:

    1. Open the Application Server Properties dialog box of the application server on which the WBI Monitor is deployed.

    2. Select the JVM Settings tab.

    3. In the System Properties list, click Add

    4. Type the parameter name in the Name field.

    5. Type the parameter value in the Value field.

    6. Click Apply, and then restart the Application Server.

    In WebSphere Application Server 5.0.X:

    1. From the Left hand tree, expand the Servers node.

    2. Click the Application Servers hyperlink. The Application Servers page appears.

    3. In the Application Servers list, click the hyperlink of the application server on which the Monitor application is deployed. The Configuration Page of the selected Application Server appears.

    4. Click the Process Definition hyperlink. The Process Definition configuration page appears.

    5. Click the Java Virtual Machine hyperlink. The Java Virtual Machine configuration page appears.

    6. In the Generic JVM arguments box, type <Parameter_Name>=<Parameter_Value>. Where <Parameter_Name> is the parameter name and <Parameter_Value> is the parameter value.

    7. Click OK.

    8. Click Save in the top menu bar to save your changes. The Save page appears.

    9. Click Save.

  3. Eliminating the repetitive loading of business measures definitions.

  4. APAR JR19907: You can now specify a time zone when you login to the BI Monitor using the Login page in both the BI Monitor Admin Utility and the BI Monitor Client. The selected time zone will be used to display any date and time values for the dashboards reports or the calendar entries on this machine. The selected time zone will be saved in a cookie for the browser you are using, and will be the default selected time zone each time you login to BI Monitor until you change it.  Refer to the BI Monitor Admin Guide and the BI Monitor User Guide for details about this modification.

  5. APAR JR20111: The deployment wizard no longer gets the MQ Workflow Locator, Agent, System or System Group. The deployment wizard now gets the configuration id instead in order for the monitor to be able to locate any default or non-default configuration.

  6. In the deployment wizard, in case you have an existing database that belongs to a previous version and contains data, then you will only be able to enter the default TableSpace for BI Monitor database. All other fields that can hold the multiple TableSpaces Names, either for the BI Monitor database or the MQ Workflow database, will be disabled.

  7. In the Auditing Utility that is used for monitoring WICS collaborations, the Data source Definition dialog box now displays only the Data source URL and User Name fields. It does not display the Schema field any more.

  8. The Organization Units Tree appears now collapsed by default. This is to avoid the long loading time when the tree contains huge number of org. units and employees.

Fixed Bugs:

  1. APAR JR20302:  Fixed the bug that caused the constrain builder in the Security page of the Admin Utility to not accept Process Name that includes imbedded spaces. The constrain builder edit field accepts now single imbedded space.

  2. APAR JR20310:  Fixed the bug that caused the Monitor exception ORA-01000 (max open cursors exceeded) when using Oracle database.

  3. APAR JR19901:  Fixed the bug that caused improper TableSpace allocation during the installation, when the provided TableSpaces are Database Managed Space TableSpace.
  4. APAR JR20047: Fixed the bug in the System Properties page of the BI Monitor Admin Utility that caused the refusal to accept the SMTP Sender if it does not contain a dot. The SMTP Sender can now accept server name without a dot.
  5. APAR JR20083: Fixed the bug that caused missing the values of Business Measures when creating process instances using Process Template Execute API.

  6. APAR JR20117: Fixed the bug in Workflow Dashboard Set Filter Page that caused considering any And or OR that exists between quotation marks to be a logical operator. The Filtering validation now resolves any "And" or "Or" as strings as long as they exist inside double quotation marks.

  7. APAR JR20170: Fixed the bug that caused the failure of creating the Automatic Corrective Action process instances when its Business Measure becomes true.
