Version: 2024-R1-SR3 (5.4.3)
Release date: 21 August 2024
The Perfion Database Installer is needed to install a new database or upgrade an existing Perfion database to the latest release.
Release date: 01 February 2022
Important info: From this version on it is required that the database user, used to log in to the database connected to Perfion, has the “View Server State”-right. For information on how to give a user this access setup please see here.
Database Installer 2021-R2
Perfion.DBInstaller (NoData) (build 4.10.4).zip
Perfion.DBInstaller (InclDemoData)NOTE: The Perfion Database Installer requires the sqlserver to use CI (Case Insensitive) collation as its default collation - it will not work if temp/master DB is using CS collation. Workaround is to install a new named instance on the sqlserver with a CI collation.

Bugs:

Title
Description
DEV-6309
Selectable items were incorrectly selectable
When setting up security so that the user is prevented to select certain values of a selectable feature, would not be prevented in the Web Client. This has been resolved.
DEV-6313
Perfion API - Using ID in a Where clause is fixed
In some mere complex Where clauses with a id='ID' throw an error. The id='ID' is used in some reports.
DEV-6303
View Relations did not work for multivalue localizables
Picking "View Relations" for an item representing a multi value localizable would cause previous versions of Perfion to throw a "null value exception". This has been fixed.
DEV-6280
Better user synchronization between Active Directory and Perfion
It was not possible to add non-localizable to users. Now there is created a new group in Active Directory for non-localizable.
Disabled users in Active Directory were not disabled in Perfion. Now inactive users are synced when opening Users and Groups settings.
DEV-6239
Active Directory cache not possible to access
Not possible to log in because it could not find part of the token cache file.
Now it automatically creates the path when logging in.

|---|---|
Action log messages was truncated to 200 characters | Previously any Action log messages would be truncated to 200 characters, potentially removing important context information from the messages. This has now been extended to max. 4000 characters instead. |
Actions - All ignore flags on Action groups are removed | All ignore flags on Action groups are removed to let all Actions continue working. An ignored group will ignore all child commands or groups. |
Database transaction isolation level changes | To minimize the amount of database locks used when reading and writing data to the database, Perfion now uses the Read Committed Snapshot feature of SQL Server. This is an optimistic locking mechanism, where SQL Server will take a copy of the data targeted for update, allowing other users to read the existing data without further locking. Note that the copy will, per default, be placed in the tempdb, so this change may result in more load and disk usage in the tempdb. |
Length of Remote Connection configuration has been extended | Previously, the length of a Remote Connection configuration was limited to 512 characters. This has been extended to 4000 characters. |
