Issue Resolutions

TeamConnect Business Intelligence 6.1.1 resolves the following issues:

  • Issue: Administrators were not notified when an ElastiCube build or sync failed. Now, they can configure an email notification with status and logs attached.
    Tracking code: TC-24142
    To configure the email notifications:
    1. Open the autocube.properties file with a text editor.
    2. Set the following property values:
      • enable.fail.email.notification - Set to YES if you want email notifications for failed builds, set to NO if you do not.
      • enable.success.email.notification - Set to YES if you want email notification for successful builds, set to NO if you do not.
      • email.recipient - Type the email of the recipient. If you want to send notifications to multiple recipients, separate the values with a comma.
      • email.sender - Type a valid email address for the sender.
      • email.server - Type the IP address of the email server.

Note: If you do not want any email notifications, leave all of these properties blank.

  • Issue: TeamConnect administrators had no visibility into all the customizations that had been added to an instance. Now Mitratech provides a script so that administrators can generate their own data dictionary.

    1. Open the Reports tab in TeamConnect.
    2. Create a new widget/report and click Select Data.

Dependencies

This update requires the installation of TeamConnect 6.1 and TeamConnect Business Intelligence 6.1.

Installation Instructions

This section contains a quick overview of the upgrade process. Each line links to specific instructions on how to perform the process.

NOTE: Dashboard owners MUST backup their existing dashboards prior to upgrade. Under normal upgrade processes, dashboard templates will persist and not have to be re-imported. The backup ensures that you do not lose your dashboards in the case that we encounter a unique scenario and the dashboards are deleted.

To upgrade TeamConnect Business Intelligence:

Replacing ElastiCube Build Files  

  1. Create a backup of the existing TeamConnect_BI directory by removing it from this directory, placing a copy in a different location, and changing the name of the copy (for example, TeamConnect_BI_backup). Make a note of the location of the autoCube.proproperties file. You will need the property values in this file.
  2. Extract the files from the TCBI_Install_Package.zip to the same the location of the original TeamConnect_BI directory.

Creating a Backup of the Existing ElastiCube  

To backup your ElastiCube:

  1. In Windows Services, stop Sisense.ECMS
  2.  Open the PrismServer\ElasticubeData directory, typically located here:
    %ProgramData%\Sisense\PrismServer\ElastiCubeData

    Note: If the directory is not in this location, open the Sisense Server Console and click the https://documentation.sisense.com/Resources/Images/7-2/serverpref.png Server Preferences icon to verify the correct path.
  3.  Copy the data to your backup location.

Upgrading the ElastiCube 

  1. After creating a backup, uninstall the ElastiCube by running the TCBI_Uninstall.bat script from the original installation files.
  2. Check the log for any errors.
  3. Open the new autoCube.properties file with a text editor. Define the property values with the information from the previous installation, being careful not to erase any new properties.
  4. Run the updated TCBI_SchemaSync.bat as an administrator and check the log for any errors.
