Chains
The "Execute MaxL Script" command is no longer supported in the Oracle Analytics container
The "Execute MaxL Script" command is no longer supported in the Oracle Analytics container, as Oracle has discontinued support for this command in the Oracle Essbase 21 API.
-
Chains without the command will no longer be able to access the command.
-
Existing chains with it will see a warning in the logs.
Google Drive connector now supports access to shared Google Drives
Workiva has enhanced the Chains Google Drive connector to provide the option of connecting to shared drives.
This update allows writing to shared drives in Connection configuration in addition to the existing read capability.
To enable this access, a checkbox has been added to the Connector configuration dialog.
Data Management
New "Placeholders Locations" panel
Managing and navigating your document's placeholders is now easier than ever. "Placeholder locations" provides a new way to help you quickly understand where and how your placeholders are being used.
Key updates:
- Placeholder Usage Count: When you select a placeholder, locations now displays a count of all its references in the document, showing you exactly how many times it's been used.
- Seamless Navigation: You can now jump between a placeholder's reference in the panel and its location in the document.
- Enhanced Search & Sort: Quickly find specific placeholders by searching for the placeholder name in the panel and organize your placeholders in the panel by name.
