Features and enhancements for 2024.3.3

The Kyvos 2024.3.3 release introduces the new features and enhancements:

• No-Spark Wizard-Based Deployment for GCP: For Wizard-based deployments, Kyvos now supports the use of No-Spark (Kubernetes (K8S) as the compute engine to process semantic models on GCP.

Features and enhancements for 2024.3.2

The Kyvos 2024.3.2 release introduces new features and enhancements:

• Kyvos Modern Architecture with No-Spark Ingestion Enhancements
  The Kyvos 2024.3.2 release comes with the following enhancements to the No-Spark Ingestion.

  • Support for Changing Default Compute Cluster: Kyvos now offers the flexibility to switch from an external compute cluster to Kyvos Native for processing semantic models using Kyvos Manager on the Compute Cluster page. Moreover, you can enable scaling (AWS and GCP only) for the compute server on this page. This functionality is applicable across all cloud environments (AWS, Azure, and GCP).
    NOTE: Switching to the External Compute cluster is not supported if Kyvos is deployed with the Kyvos Native compute cluster.

  • No-Spark Wizard-Based Deployment for AWS: For Wizard-based deployments, Kyvos now supports the use of No-Spark (Kubernetes (K8S) or Shared Query Engines) as the compute engine to process semantic models on AWS.

  • Kyvos now supports MSSQL connectivity for browsing ROLAP semantic models using MDX and SQL.

  • No-Spark Java configurations through Kyvos Manager: Kyvos now offers the flexibility to specify memory allocations for Kyvos Analytical Store for querying via Kyvos Manager on the Java Options page. Additionally, users can set the heap memory for compute servers running on Shared Query Engines or Kubernetes (K8S).

  • Download No-Spark logs: Users can now download no-spark logs through Kyvos Manager on the Monitor > Log Files > Archived page. Users can obtain logs for any specific nodes and also apply a date filter to fetch more precise log details.

• Seamless Kyvos Manager Access via Kyvos SaaS Portal: Users can now fully access Kyvos Manager through the Kyvos SaaS Portal if permission is granted by administrators.

• OAuth Authentication for Databricks SQL Warehouse: Users can now authenticate using OAuth when connecting to the Databricks SQL Warehouse.

• Metadata Processing Control for Attributes: Kyvos now supports managing attribute metadata processing through the Kyvos Web Portal.
  NOTE: It is only supported with SQL.

• Configure azcopy command parameters: Users can now set the required parameters for the azcopy command in systemconfig.json file.

• Handling Unresolved Identifier for MDX-Based Querying: For MDX-based querying, if a member, filter, or calculated expression is missing due to changes in the underlying data, Kyvos can now ignore the missing member while serving the query instead of throwing an error. This is configurable through semantic model-level property, and users can decide whether to render the data ignoring invalid members or see an exception at the time of querying. By default, Kyvos will now ignore the missing member.

• API Enhancements: New Rest API added to the Kyvos 2024.3.2 release:

  • Member Column Search: To fetch member column details of a level or attribute from a semantic model.

  • Fetch Column Data: To fetch the column list of a level or attribute in semantic model.

Features and enhancements for 2024.3.1

Kyvos 2024.3.1 release brings the following new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

• Hierarchy materialization with smart aggregates for parent-child and alternate hierarchies: Kyvos now supports creating smart aggregates for parent-child and alternate hierarchies, providing improved query performance by eliminating the need to join tables at query time.

• Support for searching 'calculated members' in Excel add-in (XLcubed) while designing a grid: Users can now search for calculated members' in Excel add-in (XLcubed) while designing a grid.

Features and enhancements for 2024.3

Kyvos 2024.3 release brings the following new features, enhancements and bug fixes.

Announcing Kyvos Modern Architecture with No-Spark Ingestion (Beta)

Kyvos modern architecture is based on two significant enhancements made in Kyvos.

First, a modern querying layer with a high-performance Analytical Store to further enhance query performance at a reduced cost. Second, No-Spark Ingestion capabilities. With these, we are able to eliminate dependency on traditional spark jobs and external compute engines such as Databricks, Dataproc, or EMR for processing semantic models and building aggregates.

Users can now use the Kyvos Native compute engine for semantic model processing.

Kyvos now comes with the following Native compute options:

• Shared Query Engine: In this mode, the Query Engines serve queries as well as handle the semantic model processing. This dual role is named SHARED as the same process performs both activities.

• Dedicated Compute Server: In this mode, the semantic model is processed via dedicated service. For cloud-based deployments, the semantic model is processed using Kubernetes (K8S) cluster-based nodes while for On Premises environments, semantic models are processed on dedicated nodes.

For further details, see the No-Spark Semantic Model Processing through Kyvos Native Compute Engines section.

For Kyvos version 2024.3, the Kyvos Modern Architecture supports the following features with no-Spark ingestion:

• No Spark and No Hadoop processing for on-premises Kyvos deployments.

• Browsing ROLAP semantic models using MDX and SQL.

• Using Azure SQL database connection for no-Spark processing of semantic models.

• Optimized level of detail (LOD) queries when querying on a single fact.

• Ability to select a compute engine such as Kubernetes or Kyvos Query Engines when deploying Kyvos via Azure Template Specs.

• Ability to dedicate compute servers for compute-based semantic model processing. Additionally, users can also monitor the number of Compute Servers from the Kyvos Web Portal on the Monitor page.

• Downloading Compute Server and Compute Server Pod logs for cloud (AWS, Azure and GCP) deployments. Users can also select the number of days for which they want to download logs.

Support for XIRR function in MDX (Beta)

Kyvos now supports XIRR function in MDX that returns the internal rate of return for a schedule of cash flows that is not necessarily periodic. For further details about formula syntax and usage of the XIRR function, see Microsoft documentation.

Upgraded Apache Tomcat version

Kyvos has upgraded the Apache Tomcat version for Kyvos Manager and Kyvos to 10.1.25.

Kyvos Manager Enhancements

Behavior Changes

• Implementation of ‘percentile_approx’ in Tableau data source files (TDS) and Custom calculation for Power BI (PBIT) file as a default summary function
  Kyvos has now mapped sum and average summary functions to 'percentile_approx' for TDS files and 'custom calculation' for PBIT files. These functions will be the default measures for browsing semi-additive measures, calculated measures, and aggregated measure functions within complex hierarchies upon downloading. This update ensures that all queries are processed exclusively by Kyvos, preventing any incorrect mappings and ensuring accurate totals in BI tools.
  Prior to the Kyvos 2024.3 release, 'distinct count' was the default summary function for semi-additive and calculated measures in Tableau TDS and Power BI PBIT file exports.
  NOTE: For Power BI, you need to select the creating Power BI calculations for advanced Kyvos resources checkbox on Kyvos UI while exporting semantic model metadata.
  For further details, see Exporting semantic model metadata
