What's New in Argos 4.4?
Evisions is pleased to announce the release of Argos version 4.4, which contains a
significant number of fixes to both the Argos client and the Web Viewer, several
performance improvements, and a few new enhancements. We have also made some
improvements to MAPS, adding in some of the features you've requested.
We appreciate the feedback received from all of our users. Our products would not be what
they are today without your continued support. If you have any comments or suggestions,
please do not hesitate to open a HelpDesk ticket and let us know.
MAPS and Argos Updates
Some of the updates to Argos require corresponding updates to MAPS. We recommend
upgrading both products to the latest version concurrently. This guide contains a
description of both MAPS and Argos changes.
Product versions
The latest versions of MAPS and Argos included in this release are:
n Argos mapplet 4.4.0.600 / Argos client 4.4.0.813 / Web Viewer 4.4.0.17
n MAPS service 4.4.0.978 / Configuration tool 4.4.0.362 / eLauncher 4.4.0.5
It is possible to apply updates when
Installation users are on the system; however, to
avoid the possibility of losing unsaved
1. Prepare test environment and ensure current backup work we recommend applying updates
during off hours.
We highly recommend installing updates in a test environment before applying them to
your production environment. You should make sure that a current backup is available in
case of any unforeseen issues.
2. Check for updates Do NOT cancel reconnection attempt
To install Argos and MAPS 4.4, click the Check for Updates button in the MAPS
Configuration tool to view available updates. Note: If you are not already running Argos
and MAPS 4.x, please refer to the Argos 4.0 Release Guide for additional upgrade
information.
3. Allow update process to complete
When applying updates to the MAPS service you will be temporarily disconnected from the
server. Do not manually restart the server during this process, as you will be reconnected
automatically when the update has been applied.
The update process may take a few minutes; you
4. Verify the latest version is installed will be reconnected when the update has been
applied.

Summary of New Features
The following is a summary of the new features. More detailed information is contained in
this guide and in the Web Viewer, MAPS, and Argos in-product Help. For a complete list of
changes, please refer to the Release Notes section of this guide.
Argos Web Viewer
n OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer now use colors on the measure and dimension
buttons to indicate the presence of filtered and invisible values.
n OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer now support using additional datasets in the cube.
Argos Client
n Added support for Unicode characters in Argos variable names and aliases.
n You can now add tables from SQL Server linked servers in the visual query designer.
n Added a DPI setting dropdown to the bottom of the banded report editor that
allows the Report Writer to specify the DPI setting that the report was designed for.
n You can now use aliases in addition to variable names when adding additional
filters while designing a report.
n Extract reports in XML format now let you choose to insert a self-closing tag for
fields that return null values, instead of simply omitting the tags.
MAPS
n The Argos Web Viewer and MAPS eLauncher are now hosted on Evisions' servers.
This Content Delivery Network (CDN) allows us to deploy updates without any
effort required on your part. The Argos mapplet and MAPS contain local copies of
the files to ensure continuous access in the event of a network outage. MAPS
administrators can also specify whether MAPS should use the CDN or the local
version.
n Removed the optional widgets from the eLauncher in order to streamline the page
and focus on providing software content.
n Logging in to the MAPS application clients should be slightly faster now, providing
performance gains in environments with large numbers of users.
n Added support for PROT P encryption (private data channel encryption) when
sending files via FTPS.
Please Provide Us with Your Feedback!
As always, we welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have. We very much
appreciate your thoughts and suggestions, so please keep the great ideas coming!

Report Viewers
OLAP Cube Dimensions and Measures with Filtered and Invisible Values
Similar to how invisible and filtered dimensions and measures are shown in the Argos client, OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer now use
colored indicators to show which dimensions have invisible and filtered values.
n Invisible values (blue icon) are not displayed in the OLAP cube, but they are still included in the cube totals.
n Filtered values (red icon) are not displayed in the OLAP cube and are not included in the cube totals.
Notice how the Dimensions button is shown in red, indicating the presence of filtered values. When you open the Dimension Editor, you
can see that the region_name dimension contains filtered values. If there were only invisible values, the Dimensions button would be
highlighted in blue instead.
Similarly, when a measure has min/max value filtering applied, the Measures button at the top of the OLAP cube appears in red.

Report Writers
Self-Closing Tags in XML Extract Reports
For extract reports in XML format, you can now choose to insert a self-closing tag for fields that contain null values, instead of simply
omitting the tags.
Checking the Output if null option for a field means that even if this field contains no data, it will still be included in the XML report.

JoeDataBlock Designers
Adding Tables from SQL Server Linked Servers
When adding a table in the visual designer, the Add Table dialog now includes an optional checkbox that lets you use a query to read the
table columns. This option is only needed when adding tables from linked servers in SQL Server, since these tables cannot normally be
read by the ADO OpenSchema function that is used to retrieve the list of tables.
The box prepopulates with select * from and you can simply repeat the name of the table at the end of this statement:
For very large tables, you may wish to use a faster query such as select top 1 * from spriden
You may use this option with other databases and non-linked servers, however it is not needed and you can simply specify the table name
directly.

Last Updated 1/21/2015MAPS Administrators
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
The web files for the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer are now loaded on demand from Evisions’ servers. This allows us to deploy updates
to the product launch page and Argos Web Viewer without requiring you to update the MAPS service or the Argos mapplet. Evisions uses a
Content Delivery Network (CDN) to host the pages. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) URL field on the HTTP File Server screen contains
the location where MAPS looks for the CDN:
The default URL points to the hosted content on Evisions’ servers, located at https://webapp01.evisions.com/. Altering this URL will cause
MAPS to look in a different location for the eLauncher and Web Viewer files and should only be done when working with an Evisions tech
to resolve a support issue.
If you do not wish to use the hosted files, you can continue to use the local versions included in the MAPS service and Argos mapplet by
blanking out the CDN URL field (remove the URL entirely). In this case, you will need to wait for new releases of MAPS and Argos before you
can get the latest updates to the eLauncher or Web Viewer.
When the CDN is enabled, if a user cannot access the CDN resources for some reason, MAPS serves up the local versions of the launch page
and Web Viewer. This ensures seamless access in the event of a network outage or other issue that interferes with accessing the hosted
content. You can check the version number at the bottom of the eLauncher or in the Help -> About in the Web Viewer to see which version
of the software you are currently running, in case the local and hosted versions are different.
Note: In order to retrieve content from the CDN, end users must be able to access the CDN URL over the internet. If users are unable to
access this location, MAPS will load the local version of the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer.

Added support for additional datasets in OLAP cubes in the Web Viewer. This
OLAP AR-2541
feature was previously only supported in the Argos client.
You can now use aliases when adding additional filters while designing a report.
Queries Selecting the alias copies the original field(s) that define the alias into the query AR-1372
filter, allowing it to run without errors.
Moved the additional filters section of a report query and its associated closing
Security parenthesis to new lines in order to prevent Report Writers from commenting out AR-2700
the closing parenthesis and injecting additional SQL statements.

Last Updated 1/21/2015Resolved Issues
Area Description Issue number
If MAPS is configured to pass invalid credentials to the database, Argos prompts
users to enter the correct credentials. In the Web Viewer, entering the correct
Authentication AR-1767
credentials allows the user to run the dashboard, but it still attempts to use the
invalid credentials when running a report, resulting in an error.
Using the GETVARIABLE function to display a varchar data type on a banded report
Banded reports results in the error "Could not convert variant of type (Unicode String) into type AR-2699
(Double)."
In Argos 4.3.x, the Round function in the banded report editor rounds down when
Banded reports AR-2740
the digit after the rounding digit is '5' and there are no subsequent digits.
After upgrading to Argos 4.3.2, RTF fields in banded reports lose all formatting for
Banded reports users who are viewing the report with a different DPI setting than the report was AR-2628
designed with.
After upgrading to Argos 4.3, banded reports that do not contain valid DPI
information display fonts in extremely large sizes. To correct this issue, Argos now
Banded reports AR-2566
assumes that a banded report was designed at 96 DPI if the DPI information is
missing or invalid.
When downloading a chart from the Web Viewer, any page numbers printed on the
Charting AR-2643
chart do not appear in the .png.
In the Web Viewer, charts with multiple pages display incorrect percentages due to
Charting AR-2590
the percentage being based off the current page instead of all values.
Charts do not load in the Web Viewer when the chart's dataset is populated by a
Charting AR-1147
stored procedure in SQL Server.

direction.
Mousing over a chart in the Web Viewer does not display chart values when the
Charting AR-2478
chart is expanded.
When an image on a dashboard comes from a variable that may change after the
Dashboards dashboard loads, in the Web Viewer the image does not resize correctly when it AR-2586
changes, even though AutoSize is set to Yes.
Disabled check boxes within an enabled panel work correctly in the Windows client
Dashboards AR-2790
but are not actually disabled in the Web Viewer.
Multi-column list boxes do not display any results in the Web Viewer when they are
Dashboards populated by queries that contain a WITH clause and have the box checked AR-1150
indicating that the statement is a DB script or function call that returns a recordset.
After upgrading to Argos 4.3, checkbox label text wraps to the next line and
Dashboards AR-2625
appears truncated when viewed at different DPI settings.
Dashboards List box values in the Web Viewer display as blank when they have a zero value. AR-2583
When running a report in the Web Viewer, the Report Path system variable does not
Dashboards AR-2603
contain any information when displayed on the dashboard.
In the Web Viewer, the tab order of elements on a dashboard does not behave
Dashboards AR-2474
correctly when using nested controls such as panels that contain other elements.
In the Web Viewer, hover text does not appear for checkboxes, date edit boxes,
Dashboards AR-2491
memo fields, and multicolumn list boxes.
When running an extract report that uses footers, the last record's footer is
Extract reports AR-1744
incorrect and contains information from the previous record.
Extract reports fail when using an expression such as 'if(y = 0, "Error", x / y)' even
Extract reports AR-2452
though the if condition should have prevented any division by zero.

Diagnostics or the local version of the eLauncher and Argos Web Viewer, and what the CDN URL MAPS-863
is.
When renaming an email server in MAPS, any Argos schedules using that email
Email server will now automatically update to use the new name. Added a new table to MAPS-345
the Argos database called XRef_EmailServer to facilitate this change.
Added support for PROT P encryption (private data channel encryption) when

Logging in to the MAPS application clients should be slightly faster now, providing
Performance MAPS-802
performance gains in environments with large numbers of users.
When MAPS is set to periodically check for updates, instead of checking every six
hours it now checks for updates three hours after the service starts, and every six
Product Updater hours after that. The server can no longer check for updates during backups or MAPS-837
shut-down, which would occasionally cause errors in the logs or prevent the service
from restarting.
Added a field to the HTTP File Server screen that specifies the web address for
Web Server MAPS-857
hosted content.
Added the ability to sort the Users screen on any field. Right-click in the column
Users header to see additional field options (Notes, Start Date, Stop Date, CAS Id, Created MAPS-827
By, Created Date, Modified By, and Modified Date).
Added slide-in save/undo buttons to several screens in the Configuration tool to
User interface MAPS-362
prevent MAPS administrators from making unintended changes.
Removed the optional widgets from the eLauncher in order to streamline the page
eLauncher and focus on providing software content. Also removed corresponding widget MAPS-855
settings from the Configuration tool.
Removed the ability to link a MAPS account with an Evisions HelpDesk account via
eLauncher MAPS-854
the eLauncher, since this was only used by the widgets that have been removed.

The MAPS eLauncher is now hosted on Evisions' servers. This Content Delivery
Network (CDN) allows us to deploy updates to the launch page without requiring
eLauncher an update to MAPS. MAPS contains local copies of the files to ensure continuous MAPS-829
access in the event of a network outage. MAPS administrators can also specify
whether MAPS should use the CDN or the local version.

Area Description Issue number
Copying an ADO connection that has one or more queuing rules results in the error
ADO connections MAPS-770
"XML node 'Start' is missing".
When logging in as an LDAP user who is part of an LDAP group in MAPS but not
added as an individual LDAP user, MAPS creates multiple resource users if the user
logs in by typing their username with different capitalization than they used
Authentication MAPS-689
previously. This can cause problems with scheduled Argos reports if the user
changes their password, because the changes do not propagate to the duplicate
usernames, which may be used to run the reports.
Removed minimum length checks for passwords when logging in to the eLauncher
and Web Viewer, since there is no way to update the password from the login
screen. Password requirements are enforced when changing the password, making
Authentication MAPS-532
the login check unnecessary. This resolves an issue where users whose passwords
do not meet MAPS requirements are unable to either log in or to change their
passwords.
The account administration area of IntelleCheck displays printers that have not
Permissions MAPS-733
been authorized for use with IntelleCheck in MAPS.
MAPS sometimes does not restart after the nightly backup, with the error "

Fixed an issue with multithreading that may have caused MAPS or the MAPS
Stability MAPS-846
applications to crash.
When under heavy load, MAPS may terminate abnormally due to synchronization
