Version: 2024-R1 (5.4.0)
Release date: 30 April 2024
The Perfion Database Installer is needed to install a new database or upgrade an existing Perfion database to the latest release.
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.

Release notes
2024-R1 (5.4.0)
Release note title | Release note |
|---|---|
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. |
