Enterprise One Version 17 Update 11
This controlled release is applicable for Planview Enterprise One release 17 only.
Note: SQL Server Reporting Services tier has Service Pack 1 + Cumulative Update 5 deployed.
New Features for Portfolio and Resource Management 17 Update 11
-
Currently a column set model contains a dimension called 'Column Set Model Information' which holds the date/time-stamp of when the model was last processed.
This update adds 3 new fields to that dimension.
- Database name the model is sourced from
- Column Set Model name
- Primary financial management model name - assuming financial management measures exist in the model
These fields will help administrators and report designers determine source details for models they are designing content from.
- With this release we have enhanced the database copy functionality so that it will clear out url's related to the Projectplace integration, disable the sync flag and clear external keys
Resolved Issues for Portfolio and Resource Management 17 Update 11
Administration
- The following features have been modified so that they can do all of these actions when maintaining structures.:
Feature | Name | Read | Create | Edit | Delete | Display Settings |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
admin_workflow | Architect PDC | ![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
mod_struc | Maintain Structures | ![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
setup_sys | Set Up System | ![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
Therefore, users with the Maintain Structures feature, but not Architect PDC or Set Up System, are to modify ranges for Fields.
- 00225650 - When a name is changed in the Resource structure level this change is now also reflected in the display of the Org Res structure.
- The field for changing the structure number when sharing an alternate structure found in Administration > Manage Attributes > Shared Use of Alternate Structure is now read-only prevent assigning an invalid number to the structure.
- 00222991 - Manage Rate Sets screen found in Administration > Rates > Rate Sets no longer receives a long-running script error when attempting to use the Search filter option for an Oracle user.
Analytics and Reporting
-
00217729 - Column set data models with time phased financials did not seem to know how to convert the time periods for internationalization of dates. Since it didn't know what to do with these dates, it failed to run the column set tabular model job stream. If you looked beyond the failed job stream into the Iogs, you would find a date conversion error. But who wants to do that? The date now converts correctly. For clarity, the failure occurred when all of the following conditions existed:
1. The column set used to build the model included financial time-phased columns.
2. The PRM system did not use English-US locale. The dbconnection.ini file specified alternative locales in the replace_locale and replace_language settings.
3. Either the start or end period of the financial time horizon included a date where the value of the day was greater than 12 (example: 13/10/19 for October 13, 2019). -
00233439 - A problem was fixed in column set tabular models that caused quarterly data to be grouped together across years. For example, Q1 2019 and Q1 2020 would be combined and displayed only as "Q1".
-
00233214 - The security feature in column set tabular models has been modified so that users that have proper grants to outcomes can now see data for strategies associated to those outcomes even if they lack explicit grants to those strategies. This helps users understand how the outcome data rolls upwards through the strategy hierarchy.
-
00205582 - Corrected an error in the PBI.com Content Pack that would cause data visuals to return an error.
Cross Product Integration
- If you are using the Agile Costing job stream to schedule the automated timesheet load from LeanKit board activity, we changed the description of one of the parameters in the job stream. It was "Previous Reporting Periods to Load" but now it will be "Previous Time Reporting Periods to Load" as it will be less confusing to end users when translated into other languages. Yes, we care about all languages!
Database
- 00236049 - Administrators can now archive certain projects without encountering a syntax error about an extra parentheses.
- 00239995 - In order to correct an issue in E1 17.10.0 to not have assigned tasks with zero remaining effort show up on future timesheets for resources, we introduced a new trigger. That trigger had unfortunate consequences of trying to update every resource record, which for our larger customers caused various deadlocks. We have quickly identified the issue, updated the trigger, and are getting you a fix ASAP.
- Modified queries used in global search for primary entities in order to avoid potential deadlocks.
- 00221946 - Default timeout for stored procedures has been increased from 25 minutes to 15 hours.
Financial Planning
- 00215654 - According to the psp_refresh_rates stored procedure which executes the Refresh Labor Cost process, the process checks the first editable period on the financial version to determine the range for which the Refresh Labor Cost process can be run. The Refresh Labor Cost job type in Job Streams has been changed the page to display editable periods rather than loadable periods when determining the parameters of the job.
- 00219693 - Discounted ROI values are no longer incorrect for Browser settings in Spanish.
- 00228939 - Financial calculated attribute found under Planning > Portfolios > (Portfolio) > ICP / Analyze Pivot now displays value correctly in ICP with browser language set to German.
- 00221335 - Modified the IRR algorithm so that it is now calculating as expected when viewing IRR in a strategy portfolio with a 26 year planning horizon on the financial model.
- 00224576 - Storage capacity has been increased for entry records in Financial Plan Detail with an id greater than 2,161,091,190.
- Database errors from making financial columns available as fields now display in an error in a pop-up box instead of just giving a SQL error.
- 00174360 - Financial columns can now be sorted when clicking the column header after enabling Variance with Comparison Version.
- Performance improvement for banner menus. Reduces possibility of menu being slow because of database locks.
Investment and Capacity Planning (ICP)
- 00236767 - For those using Investment and Capacity Planning and are making decisions and publishing approvals (OpCapAppr) for programs (lowest level in strategy) you can see the history on the strategy detail page if your administrator has enabled it. There was a bug where the history was not showing the change to 'Accepted' state on the Strategy Detail page after a Publish of a shared scenario. This has been corrected in the cases when demand is strategy and when demand is work. This can be seen by going to the Investment and Capacity Planning > Analyze pivot > change investment approval while using the Shared Scenario > Publish the Shared Scenario > Go to entity detail page and click History button > click on Investment Approval and verify all expected changes are shown.
- 00220317 - Investment and Capacity Planning will now display scenario/shared scenario data without having to refresh the browser when switching between scenarios.
- 00223897 - Calculated attributes which add 2 (or more) fields together is now calculating correctly in ICP when value type of the field(s) is 'Number'.
- Improvement was made to how rows are grouped when calculating prior demand, enabling the Shift pivot to have a faster page rendering.
- 00196749 - Users are now able to create planning portfolios with strategy capacity level set to any level that allows strategy financial plans.
Portfolios and Tiles
- 00163876 - Date filtering on Analyze Table Tile will now work correctly for different time zones.
- 00032363 - When total effort/duration is very large, the Strategy Portfolio page was not loading. Now an empty row is returned, an exception is captured and logged in this case to allow the page to load.
- 00239707 - If you aren't using Strategic portfolio to help fund and measure your strategic performance, you should! Which is why we want to ensure that you can create new alternate structures and make them available in strategy column sets without issues. However, we found a bug that we had to zap.
We know you don't do this every day so in case you forgot how to do this: Administration > Attributes and Column Sets > Manage Attributes > Alt-Structure > Strategic Hierarchy > Select Display Setting for an attribute > Check Available as Column
-
00182444 - Project Overview tile on Work View ribbon no longer requires user role based on System Administrator User Type.
-
00234352 - An error message and failure to change status has been fixed. This error was encountered under Work > Portfolio > Portfolio View and by changing the Work Status field of any available project.
-
When using the Reserve Profile page (accessed from the Assignments Graph and My Scheduled Assignments tile), we resolved a bug where extra records (sometimes with zero effort profiles and the wrong dates) were incorrectly added. This occurred when the work and resource calendars differed from each other, when the user did not have a US date/time format and also when using certain resource calendars such as 37.5h.
-
00186889 - When "Available as Column" setting of attributes has been disabled, the custom tiles that use attributes will now notify users the setting change. The custom tile creation page will indicate the invalid expressions with associated attributes and ask users to delete them.
Resource Management and Assignments (RMA)
- 00234554 - In RMA, when in the fill requirement modal and setting a resource utilization, the effort value is now updated when saving even if the user does not click off the cell first before saving.

- 00175363 - Timesheets with zero hours and remarks will no longer disappear after timesheet approval.
Turbo Scheduling Engine
- 00214297 - Performance improvements have been made when clicking "Schedule" in Work and Assignments. The CPM scheduling will run faster, particularly for large projects with lots of closed work.
Work and Assingments
- 00032083 - Work and Assignments now consistently displays a pop up warning message when changes to the assignments tab when closing the window before changes are saved.
- 00239908 - converting a partially complete activity to a milestone would leave an actual start but no actual finish and 0% complete. that was never supposed to happen and caused additional problems if you subsequently set the milestone status to complete.

-
00239962 - Previously, when in Work and Assignments, on the Schedule and Assignments pivot, in Monthly view, you are not able to clear out an effort profile cell without the value coming back after refresh. This release fixes the issue where the profile effort could not be deleted / removed from a cell in Work and Assignments or Resource Management and Assignments (RMA) grids with timescale set to Months.
-
00217401 - Work and Assignments > Notes window will now keep focus in larger text editor until users cancel or save changes in that window.
-
00238538 - In this release we fixed a problem that caused profile cells prior to Time Now to be read-only and there were also problems if you edited a period that contained time now. Monthly values for profile cells are now editable prior to Time Now through both Work > Work and Assignments and Resource Management and Assignments (RMA).
-
00230066 - Using the delete icon on a grant on the Review Grants admin page (for an entity other that Work) no longer results in a spurious message that the ESE was unavailable.

Application Switcher
- 00231564 - Addressed an issue that prevented a user from getting back to Portfolio and Resource Management (PRM) from the CTM Application Switcher when the PRM user has CTM set as the default landing page, causing a redirect. Users may add a "homeview" setting to the customersettings -> externalapps -> pve portion of configuration (i.e. "/planview/MyPlanview/MyPlanview.aspx?pt=HOMEVIEW"). This is a single setting that applies to all CTM/PRM users.

Resolved Issues for FastTrack Analytics 17 Update 11
Resolved Issues for Portfolio and Resource Management 17 Update 10
Analytics and Reporting
- 00227404 - Base tabular model PVE_ICP_FastTrack_Work_CBS1 has been modified so that the SQL query syntax executed during model processing should no longer contribute to any locking or contention issues in the PRM database. The model will need to be dropped and created to take advantage of this change.

This includes the Work attribute Execution Type, and custom Outcome alternate structures. The failure occurred after deletion of structure_info records on the target database, leaving the attributes unusable until corrected by SQL.
Financial Planning
- 00210335 , 00205043, 00211712, 00215751, 00220221 - 'Set-up System' is no longer a requirement for accessing Rates pages nor is it required for creating rate lookups, adding new rates under existing rate lookups or modifying existing lookups.

Known Issues for Capability and Technology Management 17 Update 8
Metamodel
- Users using Troux Architect and Metamodel Management should take caution when editing an enumeration set of a custom physical (non-computed) enumeration property from Troux Architect. Re-importing changes from Troux Architect will override the changes in Metamodel Management.
- Metamodel Management changes to property names, display labels, and descriptions maybe reverted for custom physical (non-computed) properties when used in conjunction with Troux Architect. Troux Architect users are advised to make these changes in Troux Architect instead of Metamodel Management. A future update to Metamodel Management will lock down changing a property names and description of a custom physical property.
- "ERROR RP0053: Constraint Violation" may appear when committing changes against a reference property definition where maxCardinality from custom content exceeds the maximum cardinality defined on the relationship type in Type Constraints. Conversely, the minimum cardinality constraint from the relationship type is respected and overrides minCardinality defined in custom content.
- 00210179 - In some cases, a data error may cause a 500 error when attempting to enter Metamodel Administration. If this occurs, please contact Planview support, who will execute a database update query to fix the issue as needed.
- 00191040 - Planview recommends caution when deleting metamodel elements, such as component and relationship types, from BPServer. There are cases where dependent system data is not deleted, which can cause TIRS rebuild issues. In the coming updates, Planview will provide guidance on how to delete metamodel elements. Until then, you can inactivate the types so that they are not accessible through the CTM UI.
Excel Round Trip
- 00195655 - Spreadsheets downloaded from CTM can become aged quickly and as a result some of the objects in the spreadsheet can be deleted. Normally components in the spreadsheet will be recreated if they are missing from the system even if the URI of the object is not found. In these cases its possible that a Foreign Key error can be experienced. If recreating the components is desired, then remove the URI from the first column so that the component will be recreated with a new objectUuid.
Column Sets
- 00211933 - There may be a lag after creating a new column set or modifying an existing column set and when it is viewed in the UI. This may appear that the selected column set does not match the column set displayed. When this occurs, click into the grid or scroll to update the column set.
Portfolios
-
00210024 - Sharing options are not available when creating new portfolios. By default, portfolios are created private. To specify a different sharing option, edit the portfolio and modify the sharing option after the portfolio has been created.
Visio
- Users applying data graphics that use calculated properties maybe be prompted to select new fields to display. This is the case with the out-of-the-box data graphic provided with the Technology Architecture template. When prompted click, Yes and select the property with an asterisk like Manufacturer Disposition* instead of Manufacturer Disposition. The out of the box template will be corrected in a future update.
New Features for FastTrack Analytics 17 Update 8

An informational message alerting the user to contact the Administrator appears when attempting to edit a complex filter. An administrator can modify these filters directly by updating the Filter attribute of the portfolio's TI:NG:Portfolio instance.
Column Sets
- 00173355 - When defining a column set, the reference properties in the column list now shows the display label of reference properties. Previously the name was displayed even if a display label override was explicitly defined.

- 00172244, 00190710 - Resolved an issue where export source data would in some circumstances export the wrong column set.
Excel Round Trip
- 00196479 - Resolved an issue where importing an Excel Round Trip job with a related component type with a modified display name causes a catastrophic TUX failure.
Flex Reports
- 00184531 - Flex reports are filtered correctly from context menus.
Note: You may also need to change parameters for custom created context menu items if you have created them and are experiencing problems with context selection.
In the ng/ctm application, context sensitive menu items in grids are specified with TI:NG:ComponentService elements in Solution Composer. When these component services access visualizations from the Flex based visualization framework (e.g., Strategy Roadmap), context specific parameters are passed to the visualization via a "VisualizationContext" object. In some circumstances, those parameters can be ignored by the visualization rendering engine if they utilize array accessing. In those cases, an alternative access method is available and should be utilized.
As an example, parameters passed to the "Strategy Roadmap" access from the Business / Strategy portfolio prior to 16.8 were passed accessed as arrays as in the following example:
var vc = new VisualizationContext(context); vc.addQueryParameter("initiativeId", context.components[0].id); vc.addRequestParameter("initiativeName", context.components[0].name); return vc.getParametersObject();
In some deployments, these parameters were not correctly referenced and as a result, all strategies were rendered rather than just the selected strategy. To resolve this , we changed the configuration of out of the box visualizations to directly access the "component" rather than the array ("components"), as in the following:
var vc = new VisualizationContext(context); vc.addQueryParameter("initiativeId", context.component.id); vc.addRequestParameter("initiativeName", context.component.name); return vc.getParametersObject();
Governance and Workflow
- 00203477 - Resolved an issue where workflow tasks where not being calculated correctly for individuals and groups
- 00170101 - Resolves an issue where policy manager generates a duplicate asset level remediation when the current remediation is still "In progress" but is past due. The resolution to this issue prevents that addition of duplicates but also removes duplicates if found during Policy Manager official runs keeping the first valid remediation and resetting the start to the day of run and the end date to 30 days hence. The duplicated workflow processes will be removed with the duplicates. Remediations that are truly inactive (status of SUBMITTED, REJECTED, or COMPLETE) will not be affected by this resolution.
Portfolio Management
- 00186865 - Type ahead search now works as expected when searching for component types in the View drop down list.

Financial Planning
- 00181342 - Users can now enter decimal values for FTE basis hours in Financial calendars.
- 00172995 - Sometimes we like to have administrative settings that an end user can override. When an administrator marks to lock a level in the hierarchy from editing or loading the financial plan, the administrative rollups won't allow editing or loading into that level. However, an end user that can do financial rollups for their portfolio, they can override this setting by performing a rollup to a level that is locked. While it may seem confusing, we understand there are different use cases for managing financials at different levels. We were accidentally respecting this admin setting for the Outcome structure preventing an end user from being able to rollup for a particular group of outcomes (e.g. products or applications). We fixed this so you can now go ahead and prevent a complete rollup to a level in the Outcome hierarchy but still let the lucky few do the rollups they need.
- 00183610, 00187312 - Users no longer encounter an issue when typing in K and M to represent thousands and millions currency scale to insert values into the Financial Planning Detail page.

It is now correctly be counted as a resource, after all, it is loaded in the financial plan based on the resource attributes on allocations and reserves.
- 00170724 - When multiple accounts are being shown on the Financial Planning Detail page, unit totals will no longer roll up for account types Balance Sheet and Other.
- Financial Excel import is now more forgiving when Seq ID is not included in the file.

MSP Add-In
- 000021991 - Subsequent "Save to Planview" actions will now properly assign a default null instead of an empty value. This will tell the server to continue using the default Allocation State instead of trying to change it.
Portfolios and Tiles
- 00182828, 00186985 - Users no longer encounter a 500 Internal Server error when selecting a hyperlink within Table Portlets that include an export to Excel option. Previously, customers were encountering the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01f4'
Variable is undefined: 'fExcel'

Because of this change, when project managers create a reserve using this screen, that reserve now automatically inherits the pending profile—including its percent of utilization—of the requirement.
- 00154754 - Users without the correct feature will no longer be able to use the Schedule button.

Anyone may duplicate public objects, but the duplicates will be shared privately by default.
Filters
- 149653 - added configuration option under customerSettings => ngFilterQuerySize to allow customers to set the filter query max level; customer can use a value of '-1' to get unlimited query results; default is 1000. Customers should consider performance risks before adjusting this value.
Widgets
- 00170829 - Resolves an issue where object picker for related objects would sometimes show fewer than all possible objects.
- 00163561 - Resizing an accordion in widget forms when "lazyLoadTab" was set to "true" and the tab contained reference properties no longer causes the browser to freeze.
Workflow
- 00161438 - Workflow task assignments will now be associated with user’s case-insensitivity with respect to their profile username.
- 00171174 - Resolved an issue where tasks where hidden after sorting group tasks by due date
Reports
- 00167850 - Resolved an issue where error in configured report parameters can cause the CTM portal to present an error when loading.
SSRS
- With 17.1.0, we now support SSRS for non-hosted customers. With this change, hosted and on-prem customers should not need to modify the ssrsReporting Configuration in CTM. The ssrsIntegrationMode is set by the auth type specified in the UAA but can be overwritten through the setting in ssrsReporting. Customers can overwrite the values by specifying:
E1 (Hosted):
<setting name="ssrsIntegrationMode" value="E1" />
Standalone (On-Premises):
<setting name="ssrsIntegrationMode" value="standalone" />
Known Issue for Capability and Technology Management 17 Update 1
SSRS
- Changes in SSRS configuration settings (customerSettings\ssrsReporting) requires a CTM server restart to take effect. This has been fixed in Update 2.
Backup Procedure
Database: Back up the Planview Database and the \midtier\admin directory.
Web Server: Back up the entire Planview\MidTier\WebServer directory.
Note: The Web Server installer will merge any new web.config and Planview.Scheduler.exe.config settings with the custom settings entered by customers. The installer will save a copy of the existing web.config file as Web.config<date> in order to refer to the custom settings before the last update.
Installation Instructions for Portfolio and Resource Management
Note: You must upgrade the Planview Database in order to login to the webserver after upgrade to E1 17.2.
Planview Database Installation and Upgrade Instructions
- Run PRM17.11.0AdminToolsSetup.exe on an Administrator’s client workstation or any server that has the Admin Tools installed. Set the destination directory to one level above the DBA folder (usually c:\planview\admin).
- From the /admin/dba directory, edit the RunUPDATE_PRM17_to_PRM17_11.bat file and populate with the appropriate Planview database values.
- Execute the RunUPDATE_PRM17_to_PRM17_11.bat file to update the Planview database.
Note: Oracle customers will encounter an "INSERTXMLAFTER": invalid identifier errors during the database upgrade process. This is an Oracle identified bug that has been addressed in an Oracle patch. This error will only affect Ideation Management customers. If you are not an Ideation Management customer, then this error can be ignored. If you do use Ideation Management, then the database server will need to upgrade to 11.1.0.7 or higher.
This completes the Planview database portion of this installation.
Planview Web Server Platform Installation Instructions
Run PRM17.11.0WebServerPlatformSetup.exe on the Web Server. The target path is set automatically based on registry settings entered during the initial Planview 17 installation.
This completes the web server portion of this installation.
Planview Turbo Scheduling Engine (TESE) Installation Instructions
- Stop the Planview Turbo Enterprise Scheduling Engine Service.
- Uninstall the current Turbo Enterprise Scheduling Engine Service.
- On 64-bit Windows Server operating systems, the PRMTurboESE_x64_Setup.exe executable should be run. For more information, refer to the detailed installation instructions available in the Planview Enterprise One – PRM installation documents.
Note: The 64-bit TESE installer must run by a user signed in as “Administrator” or the user must right click on the setup and choose the “Run as Administrator” option.
This completes the Turbo Enterprise Scheduling Engine (TESE 11.0.0.16) portion of this update.
Portfolio and Resource Management MSP Add-In Client Installation Instructions
Note: There are no changes to the MSP Add-In Client in PRM 17.11.0. This section may be skipped if upgrading from PRM 17.6.0.
To install directly on the client:
- Uninstall any previous MSP Add-In from the client workstation.
- From the Planview Applications button (

To push the install to clients:
- Uninstall any previous MSP Add-In from each client workstation.
- If requirements don’t exist on each client, push Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime prior to pushing the Add-In installer to client workstations.
- Use the following command line entry to silently push to the C:\Planview default directory without any dialog boxes displayed to the end user:
PlanviewMSPAddIn = msiexec /i PlanviewMSPAddIn.msi /qn or PlanviewMSPAddIn = msiexec /i PlanviewMSPAddInX64.msi /qn
Notes:
This completes the MSP Add-In Client portion of this installation.
Planview OData Service Installation Instructions
Note: There are no changes to the PRM Odata Service in PRM 17.11.0. This section may be skipped if upgrading from PRM 17.1.0.
- Obtain the updated files for the OData service from the Odata folder of the Update.
- Stop IIS on the Planview web server.
- Determine the location of the current OData service deployment (typically [Drive]:\planview\midtier\odataservice).
- Make a copy of the ODataService.svc, web.config, and bin directory located under the odataservice folder. These can be restored if necessary.
- Copy the ODataService.svs file, web.config and contents from the odataservice\bin folder of the update to the odataservice\bin folder of the service deployment, overwriting the files with the same name.
- Replace the values in the <appSettings> and <DataSourceSettings> sections of the web.config file with the values from your backup so that the connection information is restored.
- Start IIS on the server where the Odata service is deployed.
- The connection to the OData service can be tested/validated by putting the service endpoint into a browser (typically https://server.pvcloud.com/odataservice/odataservice.svc) and observing the return of the service document listing available tables.
This completes the OData service portion of this update.
Planview SSAS Cube and Tabular Model installation instructions
Note: In 17.2, two XMLA scripts were modified to make them compatible with changes to the PRM 17.x database. In 17.5, an additional XMLA script was modified. In 17.10, the same script modified in 17.5 was modified for a second time.
Tabular model:
- (17.2) PVE_FM_EPM_Tabular.xmla
- (17.5) PVE_ICP_FastTrack_Work_CBS1.xmla
- (17.10) PVE_ICP_FastTrack_Work_CBS1.xmla
OLAP cubes:
- (17.2) PVE_FM_EPM.xmla
To deploy the updated cubes/models:
- On the Analysis Services server, backup and drop each cube / model being replaced.
- Use the modified XMLA scripts from the Odata/XMLA folder to create new cubes and models.
- Set the data source values and process the model.
- Security considerations: if the PRM Job Scheduler is being used to process the cubes and models, then the PRM application pool identity need the following minimum permissions:
- Data “Process” level permission to each cube. This can be implemented by adding a role to each cube with process permission, and making the application pool identity a member of the role.
- Administrator permissions to the tabular instance, so that column set models may be created and deleted. This can be implemented by making the application identity a member of the server/security role on the tabular server.
This completes the SSAS cube/model portion of this update.
Planview SSRS Authentication Installation Instructions
Note: SSRS authentication now has multi-version support for PRM and is not included with PRM updates. The current version, E1 PBIRS 3.2.0, has been released separately and has its own release notes and installation instructions.
Planview FastTrack Analytics Installation Instructions
There are two distinct parts of the installation of the FastTrack Analytics: the database components (Framework and Configuration) and the Report Files.
- Database Objects: This includes the installation of the FastTrack Framework and initial report configuration entries. These are the objects installed via the PowerShell script that is covered in this document.
- Report Files: This is the directory tree that contains all of the RDL (report) files. These are installed via the Planview Upload Utility. The use of this utility is not specific to the FastTrack reports and is covered in detail in a separate document.
Prerequisites
In order to use FastTrack Analytics v17.x the following are prerequisites:
- Planview transactional database must be on either SQL Server 2016 or 2017. Oracle is not supported.
- Planview Enterprise One Version 17.
Upgrading from RPM v2 Reports
If you are updating from a prior RPM Analytics v2 catalog you should be aware of the following:
- FTA 17 reports are installed in a different directory on the report server than before (FastTrack instead of RPM).
- Existing tiles that use the RPM reports will be repointed to the appropriate FastTrack report.
- Reports that were previously “derivative reports” are turned into “persona” reports. For example, WRK24-WRK26 and RES24-RES26 were actually copies (derivatives) of the “EFFORT01” report. The WRK26 tile, for instance, will still be called “WRK26”, but it will point to the EFFORT01 report file instead of WRK26. A custom_info entry will set the report_id to WRK26 so the report functions as it did previously. See Appendix “Derivative Report Mapping”
- Testing out the new FastTrack reports in a dev/test environment is easy – install the report files as normal (since they won’t overwrite the older RPM reports) but ONLY install the database objects in the database that you will test from (dev, test, etc). Keep in mind the reports can only be tested with E1 R17 version of PRM.
From Earlier FastTrack Reports (new version validation)
Because FTA 17.10 is only supported with EI R17.10, evaluation of the reports requires upgrading the PRM web server or temporary deployment of an evaluation PRM v17.10 web server. If you are updating FastTrack v3.x reports installed with PRM15.x and are using the same PRM web server, you should know that the framework and reports will be overwritten and rolling back to a prior version is very difficult to do. It is suggested that you validate the new reports using one of the two PV version specific processes outlined below:
Upgrading from PRM15/16:
- Change the name of the “FastTrack” folder in the installer (Portal Files/Reports/FastTrack) to something like “FastTrack_x_y_z” (replacing x_y_z with the version that’s being tested)
- Follow the instructions in the Upload Utility documentation to upload this folder into reporting services.
- Perform the database install steps but only into the database where you will test the reports from (e.g. PVTEST).
- Following the install run the following SQL Statement in the test database (replacing “FastTrack_x_y_z” with whatever you renamed the folder to in step 1):
exec ip.psp_grs_rpm_repoint_rpm_tiles 'FastTrack_x_y_z', 'FastTrack'
- You should now be able to test the reports in that test environment using E1 R17.10 version of PRM.
Upgrading from PVE13 and PVE14:
- On PVE13/14 different copies of the reports were loaded into different folders that could be used by different PVE databases from the same web server. In FTA 17.x, a single copy of the reports will be uploaded to the “FastTrack” folder and can be used by all PRM databases.
- Follow the instructions in the Upload Utility documentation to upload the reports.
- Perform the database install steps but only for the test database (bypassing all other database prompts).
- You should now be able to test the reports in that test environment using E1 R17.10 version of PRM.
Impact to Scheduled Reports
Impacts to subscriptions different depending upon the version of PRM and RPM/FTA deployed when the subscriptions were created. Essentially, if FTA 17.x reports are being uploaded into the same folder structure, tile report subscriptions will be preserved. This means the following:
- If the subscription was created using RPM reports, it will need to be recreated after deploying FTA 17.x
- If the subscription was created using PVE13/14 and FTA 3.x, it will need to be recreated after deploying FTA 17.x
- If the subscription was created using PRM15 and FTA 3.x, it will be retained and will not need to be recreated.
- If the subscription was created using PRM16 and FTA 16.x, it will be retained and will not need to be recreated.
Note that if the original RPM/FTA3.x reports folders remain on the report server, subscriptions created for them will remain active in the reporting services environment even though PRM tiles are no longer linked to them. It is recommended that these legacy folders be dropped as soon as the evaluation period is over to remove any subscriptions linked to the old versions of the reports.
Do Not Modify FastTrack Files/Folders
This is very important!! Files and folders inside any of the FastTrack folders should never be renamed by the customer. Doing so puts the associated tiles at risk of breaking when enhancements or fixes are published.
Custom reports should never be saved inside the FastTrack folder tree and FastTrack reports should never be customized (only configured from the Planview application).
Impact to Existing Configuration
The installation process is specifically built to not modify an existing FastTrack configuration. New configuration entries may be added (in the case of an enhancement to an existing report), but existing entries will be left intact.
Customizations are NOT supported
Customizations to the FastTrack reports are not supported by Planview. The shared framework that allows the configurability of the reports also makes them interdependent. They are not merely a collection of stand-alone reports, they are a full system of analytics. The FastTrack reports should be treated as any other aspect of the Planview application and the only changes should be made via configuration.
If you have any customized any of your FastTrack (or RPM) reports (meaning that the actual RDL files have been modified) or if you have any custom reports built off of the FastTrack/RPM framework, you should be aware that an update could break your customizations.
If the update causes any problems with custom reports they would either need to be addressed by the customer or via a billable/RAS engagement with Planview Consulting.
Installation Steps
The installation package must be unzipped onto a workstation that meets the installation requirements (above).
Step 1: Launch the Installer
When you unzipped the installation package you should see a folder called “FastTrack_Analytics_PRM”. In that folder is a batch file called “00_Install_Analytics.bat”. Double click that batch file to begin the installation.
Step 2: The Interview
The entire installation is performed after a series of questions are answered. Here are details of those questions:
- Customer Prefix (for log): Please enter an abbreviation for the customer name here.
- Database Server/Instance: The name of the server (with instance if applicable) that hosts the Planview database(s). If there are multiple databases and they are on multiple servers – choose the database that hosts the prod database here. You’ll have an opportunity to enter other server names in another step.
- Database User Name: Normally you’d type “ip” (without quotes) here. While you can install under other database user accounts we suggest installing as ip.
- Password: This is the password for the account you just entered. The value is hashed (hidden) as you type and it is NOT stored in the log file.
- Database name: enter the SQL database name of the PRM database where FT objects will be installed/updated
Step 3: Let the Installation Begin
At this point the script has enough information to start. It will install the database objects into each database provided. After the SQL database objects are installed you will be enter a loop where you are asked if you would like to install to additional database(s) on the same SQL server. You can either provide additional database name(s) or hit <Enter> to exit the installation.
Step 4: Validating the Install
- From PRM, execute the tile for ADM01.
- Export this report as Excel or PDF. You’ll want to provide this to the person who will be configuring the reports and dashboards.
Step 5: Install the Table Portlet tiles
In the FastTrack_Customizable_Tiles folder, the batch file "00_Install_tiles.bast" can be used to install the FTA Table Portlet tiles. The batch file will prompt for 4 pieces of information:
- DBServer: The name of the Planview database server.
- Database: The name of the Planview database.
- Database Account (ip?): Normally you’d type “ip” (without quotes) here. While you can install under other database user accounts we suggest installing as ip.
- Password: SQL password for the database account above. The value is hashed (hidden) when entered and is not stored in the log file.
Rollback Procedure
If there are any errors encountered during the installation of the database objects, the procedure to roll back these changes would be to restore from the database backup taken in step 1. This is the only part of the installation process that impacts the Planview transactional database. The portal objects (data sets and reports) do not change over time so they can be restored from the backup folders created during the install process (if there was a preexisting install).
Recovery Procedure
Database: Restore the Planview Database and the backup copy of the \midtier\admin directory.
Web Server:
- Stop all Planview Services.
- Stop the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
- From the \webserver\AdminTools directory, Edit the UnregisterAssemblies.bat by replacing %1, throughout the file, with the Planview directory path (i.e., C:\Planview\Midtier\Webserver).
- Run the UnregisterAssemblies.bat.
- Replace the backup of the entire \webserver directory.
- From the \webserver\AdminTools directory, edit the RegisterAssemblies.bat by replacing %1, throughout the file, with the Planview directory path (i.e., C:\Planview\Midtier\Webserver).
- Run the RegisterAssemblies.bat.
- Restart all Planview Services and the World Wide Web Publishing Service.
- At this point, the restore of the Web Server is complete.
Note: There is not a recovery procedure for OpenSuite.
Changes to Environment
For the components listed in the Backing Up Planview Enterprise Components section of this document, changes are logged in the following files. Note: The paths to the files are based on a default installation. If you change the location of Planview Enterprise components during an install, the paths noted in this section will not be applicable.
Database: Review the 17.06.0000Administration Tools.log one level above the DBA directory.
Web Server: Review the 17.06.0000WebServerPlatform.log one level above the Webserver directory.
