Updates

GUI setup installer will offer to install Microsoft .NET Core SDK

The setup installer for Report Generator GUI, has been updated and will offer to download and install the Microsoft .NET Core SDK at the end of the installation process:

Applications present in a Measurement schema are no longer available for selection in the GUI

Applications that are present in the Measurement Service schema are no longer offered for selection in the Application tab in the GUI. This is because certain data is not present in the Measurement Service schema thus potentially rendering reports incomplete. Portfolio templates (which are designed for Measurement Service schemas) will function normally. See also Distinguishing between identical Applications on Measurement and Dashboard Service schemas.

With regard to the CLI mode, if the -domain option is not specified in the command line, Report Generator will only consider Applications stored in the Dashboard Service schema.

Report Generator http requests will now contain specific X-Client value

So that http requests originating from CAST Report Generator can be identified, CAST Report Generator will now issue requests that contain the header 'X-CLient' with the value 'CAST-ReportGenerator'. This can be leveraged, for example in the Dashboard/RestAPI audit trail.

Table component updates

PF_TABLE_RELEASE_PERFORMANCE

Example configuration:

TABLE;PF_TABLE_RELEASE_PERFORMANCE;ID=60016|66069|7126,TARGETS=3.2|3.3|4.0,SLA=2|5

• ID : list of IDs for BC, TC or Rule, separated by |
• TARGETS : list of grades corresponding to the target grades for the metric in the list of IDs, if only one target, it will be used for all metrics
• SLA : 2 values a|b corresponding to SLA Assessment thresholds :
  • Good if % difference between Target and Actual is less than a%
  • Acceptable if & difference between Target and Actual is between a% and b%

• FORMAT=ABSOLUTE or PERCENT to get the variation either direct value, either percentage. Default is percent. (optional)
• MODULE=name of the module for which you want the metric evolution (optional)
• TECHNO=name of the technology for which you want the metric evolution (optional)

If no module and no technology is given, this is the value for the application that is taken:

• Variation in percent = (current - previous) / previous
• Variation in absolute = current - previous
