New

•Sheet Process Variants and Activities

oNew chart to analyze the number of cases by activitiy frequency classes.

•Sheet Conformance Checking

oThe whole process model is shown on the analyzer, therefore the bar chart "Cases per Happy Path" was changed and a button was added to select cases that belong to a certain happy path.

•New KPI

oAVG Workdays (not used in front-end but available as master item) which is calculated by the factory and shift calender and indicates the number of workdays that a case needed from start to end.

Improvements

•Sheet Resource

oSheet name changed to Resource Analysis

•BPMN import mapping table

oTwo new columns: excludeBPMNActivity and map are used to decide if activities from the BPMN model exist in MPM and shall or shall not be shown (with a mapped name or with their BPMN-name).

•Template App data editor and MPM-scripts

oDelta load checks if initial load is existing and triggers an initial load if not.

oAll tabs are activated for the Import Wizard, therefore, all inline tables were emptied.

oVariables to configure 1A. Resource Log were reduced to only one (mvProcessDescriptionResource).

oLogic of variable mvProcessFinished to configure 2A. Advanced Customization optimized (defined via set not let, thus, chr(39) is not longer needed).

oConformance Checking keeps empty happy paths and creates a standalone happy path table for the process model

oFunction name mw_createIDs was changed to mw_createActivityTypeID

oTranslation and master item creation methods optimized: MW_createMasterItems/ MW_createMasterItems_EN &  MW_concatenateMasterItems/ MW_concatenateMasterItems_EN function names were changed to MW_concatenateMasterItemsFromRepository  and MW_createMasterItemsFromInlineTable. Backwards compatibility is assured.

oVariable mvDoValueStreamMapping was deleted. Value Stream Mapping moved from the MPM Template App to the MPM Business Content.

oThe table HappyPathDescription is renamed to HappyPathDescription_$(mvProcessDescription).

oPatch 1: variables for filter-field names corrected in the method "MW_createMasterItemsFromInlineTable"

FixeS

•Sheet Resource

oField Process Path was corrected.

•Template App data editor & MPM-scripts

oCustom Lead Times: MinMaxStartActivtiy renamed to MinMaxStartActivity. Backwards compatibility is assured.

oRCA anomaly “happy  path fitness below 80%” moved to CaseTimes-table and is now called via CaseID. Backwards compatibility is not assured, please adapt older template app script when using Feb2021 mpm-scripts..

oMW_qualifyLog and MW_qualifyLogAndCaseID qualifies also EL_EdgeTypes
