Release Notes v2024.11

🚀 New Features and Enhancements

Modeler

• New cloning functionality: All nodes other than Parameter and Result can be cloned (right click node). To clone multiple nodes simultaneously select the nodes to be cloned using ctrl.
• Formula: Users can now decide whether to create a new column or overwrite an existing column.

Source System Connections

• SAP Business One: A new Query Handler for Source Systems of type SAP Business One is available in beta version for initial exploration.
• SAP BW: The optional Technical Parameter KEYFIGURE_CAPTION was added for SAP BW Functions, which is a breaking change for all SAP BW queries. With this parameter users can now decide how the Key Figure Value column should be named for the respective Function. If no value is added for this parameter, the default value "Key Figure Value" will be used (former "Keyfigure - hardcoded").

Agent
