- Slide 7
- Help system enhancements Unification All help topics now use
the same top-level menu for accessing each of the major help
components (e.g. BRE, BRAINscript). Multimedia tutorials New
tutorials for several activities have been added. These tutorials
include tech notes, graphs, data, and video content. HTML rendering
improvements Help uses a new style sheet which makes help easier to
read and to navigate. 7
- Slide 8
- Node Editor enhancements Node parameter groups now have logical
names (e.g. General, Optional, not just Parameters 1, Parameters 2)
which may be user-configured Node parameters now provide visual
cues when they are not satisfied by valid input values Node
execution status is displayed in main window 8
- Slide 9
- Excel node enhancements Excel File (acquisition) node now
supports large XLSX inputs without memory issues, and Output Excel
(publishing) node can now output to XLSX format in addition to XLS
Excel Output node can update existing sheets, allowing users to
configure complex pivots, charts, or other views and have them
refreshed by new LAE output data sets New Append Excel node can add
new data to an existing sheet, add new sheets to an existing
workbook 9
- Slide 10
- Extended environment support VMWare/Linux deployment
configuration is now officially supported Red Hat Linux 6 is now a
supported operating system Java 1.7 is supported for Linux/Solaris
server installations 10
- Slide 11
- License administration enhancements Server connection license
allocation has been simplified. Server administrators may allocate
seats simply by moving users into licensed groups, removing the
need for individual users to obtain and activate their own
licenses. License activation has been automated, removing the need
for users to visit the License Activation Center website and
download license files when they wish to install/renew software.
The server software now verifies that the core count on the hosting
machine matches the L-CPU allocation in the license. Customers can
now be certain that their deployments comply with their contracted
computing capacity. Virtualization may be used to apportion the
appropriate capacity from host machines. 11
