Core Improvements

Improved Functional Audit

Wiiisdom Cloud Platform allows administrators to access audit logs detailing activities on their platform. Until version 2025.2, these logs included technical information such as user logins and modifications (e.g., new passwords, account creation).

With this release, we have expanded the audit capabilities to include platform usage information. You can now track Pipeline Sharing activities, including when a user shares a pipeline and when a shared pipeline is opened.

Future releases will continue to enhance audit features, providing even more insights into platform usage.

New Role system

With the Wiiisdom Cloud Platform continuously evolving, having only two roles—Administrator and User—was no longer sufficient. To provide more granular access control, we have introduced six distinct roles, allowing administrators to assign specific functionalities to users.

Each role grants access to particular features:

▪ Administrator: Configure and manage the Wiiisdom Cloud Platform.

▪ Pipeline Architect: Design and run pipelines using the designer or via the API.

▪ Pipeline Auditor: Access shared pipelines without the ability to create new ones.

▪ TVM Administrator: Configure scanners for version management.

▪ TVM User: Access the Version Browser to compare, comment, preview, restore versions, and download them.

▪ TVM Auditor: Access the Version Browser in view-only mode, without the ability to comment or restore versions.

If a user needs access to multiple features, you can assign them multiple roles.

Added an allow-list validation

Wiiisdom Cloud Platform allows you to send post-process data when a pipeline execution ends.
These post-processes can be sent to any URLs, which may cause issues when sending sensitive data that needs to be directed to specific locations.
To help you prevent users from sending data to unauthorized URLs, we have added an Allow-list. This means that if a URL is not included in the Allow-list, the data will not be sent.
Only Administrators can add new URLs using Admin Mode.

Power BI

Use DAX Queries in steps

DAX Queries allow you to take Power BI to the next level. So why not use them inside our pipelines to verify and test your data? Well, this is now possible in WCP!
We have implemented this feature for Row Count and Column Statistics, with more to come in the future!
When creating a step, you will now have to choose whether you want to go with Simple Mode or DAX Mode.

Once you select DAX Mode, you will be able to enter a DAX Query. After your query is validated, you will be able to verify and test your data properly!
The query evaluation works the same way as DAX view in Power BI desktop

Tableau

Download Versions in TVM

When using Tableau Version Management (TVM), you may want to access an old version and work on it without altering the current version to avoid blocking other users. With TVM, you can go to the Version Browser, download the .twbx file, and work on it locally afterwards.
If you do not have the right to download a workbook in Tableau, you won't be able to do it in TVM. We ensure that only users with the proper permissions can download a version.

Change logs

▪ Created an endpoint to check whether or not the API is up and running: /rest/v1/info.

▪ Improved binary files data transfer.

▪ Improved the input to enhance workbook selection in the Tableau Row Count step.

▪ Increased event retention to one year.

Security Fixes

▪ Updated Quarkus to fix multiple CVEs.

▪ Updated our frequently used password list to ensure full compliance with our password policy.

Bug

▪ User can use the Context of another user of WCP when updating a Pipeline (Impact: High)
Description: The BI context of a pipeline can be edited to use a BI Context that do not belong to the connected user.
ID: WOFT-2615

▪ URLs are not validated when using the update pipeline in the public API (Impact: High)
Description: Pipeline contexts were not validated correctly when editing.
ID: WOFT-2616

▪ New deployments cannot list datasets (Impact: High)
Description: Semantic model validation and simulate journey steps cannot be configured on brand new deployment to a new tenant. An internal server error appears.
ID: WIIIS-1863

▪ A user can move a step with the Modify Pipeline Endpoint (Impact: Medium)
Description: If one user could get the technical ID of a step they could silently move the step to another pipeline even if the former pipeline did not belong to them.
ID: WIIIS-1735

▪ Cannot add column in Power BI Column statistics/Dataset values steps if they have multiple tables (Impact: Medium)
Description: In edit mode, the “New Column” and “Add All columns” buttons did not appear in Column Statistics and Dataset Values steps. This bug did not affect Tableau steps.
ID: WIIIS-1737

▪ Duplicated rows consumes too much memory and takes too long time to execute (Impact: Medium)
Description: When executing duplicated row step on very large table, the request sent to Power BI service was not optimal and ended up in failure.
ID: WIIIS-1843

▪ Dataset steps execution fails when special symbols in table or column names (Impact: Low)
Description: When a table or a column has a DAX special character such as quote (') in its name, any semantic model validation step of the pipeline that use this item will end in error because Wiiisdom For Power BI sends an invalid DAX formula.
ID: WIIIS-1405

▪ Password strength meter are not consistent accross application (Impact: Low)
Description: The password strength meters did not show the same result on reset password page and update password on profile page.
ID: WIIIS-1820

▪ Multiple "Login error" may happen randomly after login without disturbing user experience (Impact: Low)
Description: After a user successfuly logged in, the platform may register 3 to 5 “Login error” that are displayed in WCP audit.
ID: WIIIS-1858

▪ Sometimes we cannot configure simulate journey step if the report is on fabric capacity (Impact: Low)
Description: Since MS switch to fabric instead of premium, some internal changes affected the simulate journey step configuration and randomly prevented from configuring your step.
