New Features

360Bind: Image Comparison Library Update

You may know that we also have testing solutions for Tableau and Power BI...

For these new products we wanted to "recreate" the same regression testing experience we already offer you with 360Bind but for that we needed to modernise the way we compare images.

Thanks to that effort, we are now able to give you for SAP BusinessObjects better graphical representation and precision of the tests while being easier and faster to use.

Sounds too good to be true? Take a look 😎

1️⃣ It's so easy to use. You now have only 2 modes: Fine and Strict.

The default is Fine.

Fine: It will detect what the human eye (with a lot of boring effort) could do.

Strict: If you want to detect differences at the individual pixel level. E.g.: font change.

2️⃣ The choice of comparison mode has no impact on performance!

To give you an idea, a test ran in 2023.1 with the finest setting took 1:48 min vs now 39 secs with this release.

3️⃣ Let's just say that it's how it looked before:

And this is how it looks like now:

Notice how we could hardly see "Transaction Date" before compared to now.

In summary:

✅ Ease of use.

✅ Fast!

✅ Results are more visually pleasing and simpler to consume.

360View - Webi Change Source Strategy Selection

When doing a repointing of Web Intelligence documents to a new Universe, you now have the same Strategy Selection you would find in BOBJ.

So just like before, repoint in bulk, loads of Webi documents, all at once but now, with the strategy that you want!

360Univ - Enhanced Conversion of UNX Multisource (MSU) to UNX Single Source (SSU)

We introduced this super powerful feature back in 2023.1.1. Thanks to your comments and feedback, we now support even more connection types and drivers.

360Cast - Support Shared File Excel/CSV Destination List

Your Excel and CSV Destination Lists can be "Shared Files". That means they will be loaded at every run time.

That way, when you update these Excel and CSV, you don't need to reimport them manually in 360Cast.

360View - Document Extra Columns for Non-Recurring Instances

In the documentation (Web task and Documentation Task) of Non-Recurring Instances you will now find two new column that displays the frequency and size of the instance.

Delete Traces of BOBJ Environments from 360Suite

360Suite may have data (Backups, Versioning, etc) from BOBJ environments you no longer use. You can delete all traces in 360Suite from the Administration Console.

User Experience

Session Selector

To enhance your experience, we have relocated the Session Selector to a single and friendly place for the entire interface.

Edit Objects

When you edit an object. Instead of the small popup with a lot of scrolling, you now have a new modern kind of frame to do the edit while remaining on the same screen.

HTML Emails

Send all your emails across 360Suite in HTML format!

API

360View is now 100% usable via our API.

Compatibility

Added support for scheduling 360Cast to SharePoint Online when there is a Proxy between 360Suite and SharePoint Online.

We are no longer supporting the following databases as they are no longer supported by their respective vendors and SAP BusinessObjects.

MySQL 5.5
Oracle 10g
IBM DB2 9.5
PostgreSQL 9.5, 9.6, 10
