Released July 20th, 2022. New FeaturesThis is a patch release. There are no new features since release 2.0.0.Fixes and UpdatesWe fixed the problem where the demo data were failing in the Brave browser and in Chrome with AdBlock extensions enabled. You can now add localhost addresses as allowed origins in the Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). We fixed the bug where visualizations with additional filters in date filters could not be opened. We fixed the problem with URL validation in the direct login via URL. We fixed the bug where result-cache or sql-executor run out of memory. We removed the necessity of the manual FLUSH of redis after the upgrade. We changed the logging level of the SQL executor so that it logs only relevant information.Get the Community EditionPull the GoodData.CN Community Edition to get started with the latest release:docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:2.0.1

Released July 14th, 2022.New FeaturesWe added a new Developer settings page that lets you perform the following actions within the GoodData web UI: Create and manage cross-origin resource sharing (CORS). See Enable CORS For an Organization. Create and manage API authentication tokens. See Use an API Token for Authentication. Secondary label functionality has been expanded upon. You can now add multiple labels to an attribute and use these labels to customize the way your data is presented in visualizations. See Manage Labels. You can now sort attributes in ascending or descending order using one of its labels, giving you an additional layer of control over the way data is displayed in your visualizations. See Sort Labels. We added support for M:N mapping. See Many-to-Many in Logical Data Models. We have reworked the data source administration UI in the Data modeller. Connecting to and editing connections to data sources should be more user-friendly now. Time filtering in visualizations has been expanded. You can create multiple filters with different dimensions for your visualizations, exclude current periods to remove incomplete data, and compare your data with previous time periods. See Filter Visualizations by Attributes or Dates. Pivot tables now support subtotals. See Table Totals. Metric editor now supports multiple tabs even when it is opened in the Analyze tab. Multiple axis titles are now displayed on charts that have multiple Y-axis (there are multiple items in the View By bucket). You can now customize the URL where the issued OAuth2 Authorization Code is sent from the OIDC provider to the GoodData backend (the so-called "OIDC redirect URL"). Expanded support for Snowflake: We now support week granularity of the date dimension. We now support lower-cased DB and WAREHOUSE names. We now support proxy settings for JDBC URL for Snowflake data sources. See Permitted parameters. Fixes and UpdatesApache Pulsar has been updated to version 2.9.2. When you stack a bar chart by an attribute, the bars are now be correctly sorted by their total value. You are now be able to embed a dashboard with filtered tags than contain spaces between words. Fixed a bug where the collectLabelElements API endpoint would return elements even if a given offset was greater than total count of elements. The Hyperlink in attribute label option in the Drill to URL are now be available in Dashboards as well.Breaking ChangesPostrgreSQL database in GoodData.CN Community Edition all-in-one image was upgraded to version 13. If you're upgrading from Community Edition 1.7 to 2.0, and want to migrate all your data to the new version. See Upgrade Guides. The API is now versioned. All /api/<endpoint> calls have to be updated to /api/v1/<endpoint>. See Versioning. The pivot table API layout has been reworked as a consequence of the addition of subtotals to pivot tables. The grandTotals and includedDimensions objects have been renamed to totals and totalDimensions, among other breaking changes. The primary property in logicalModel declarative API has been deprecated. Attributes are now mapped directly to database columns using the sourceColumn property in Logical Data Model declarative and entity APIs.Deprecation AnnouncementsWe deprecated support for Kubernetes older than version 1.21. We deprecated the tablePrefix and viewPrefix parameters in the API endpoint generateLogicalModel. We deprecated the API endpoint license.Get the Community EditionPull the GoodData.CN Community Edition to get started with the latest release:docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:2.0.0Upgrade GuidesFollow these guides if you want to upgrade your GoodData deployment from 1.7 to 2.0 without losing your data in the process.For GoodData.CN (Kubernetes Edition) users, follow the instructions in Upgrade GoodData.CN to 2.0.For GoodData.CN Community Edition users: To upgrade your Community Edition while keeping the same organization layout see Upgrade GoodData.CN Community Edition to 2.0 - Including Your Organization Layout. To upgrade your community Edition while keeping the same organization layout and your database, see Upgrade GoodData.CN Community Edition to 2.0 - Including Your Organization Layout and Database. Upgrade GoodData.CN to 2.0Before upgrading gooddata-cn helm chart, upgrade your Kubernetes cluster to version 1.21 (up to 1.24).Upgrade Apache Pulsar deployment to version 2.9.2.Preload updated Custom Resource Definition (CRD) for Organization resources. Due to the helm command limitation, it is impossible to update CRD automatically by Helm. Therefore it is necessary to update this CRD manually by following this procedure: Download and extract gooddata-cn helm chart to an empty directory on local disk. helm pull gooddata/gooddata-cn --version 2.0.0 --untar Update modified CRD in the cluster where the older GoodData.CN release is deployed: kubectl apply -f gooddata-cn/crds/organization-crd.yaml You can clean local extracted helm chart rm -r gooddata-cn Upgrade Postgresql-ha Helm ChartIf you're using external PostgreSQL database (when you deployed gooddata-cn helm chart with option deployPostgresHA: false), you can skip this step because it is not relevant for your deployment.If you're using embedded PostgreSQL database (with deployPostgresHA: true set in values.yaml), you will need to perform the following process to upgrade postgresql-ha helm chart. Due to the nature of the upgrade, this action will cause a service disruption. Please schedule maintenance window for this operation. Scale down PostgreSQL StatefulSet to single replica: kubectl -n gooddata-cn scale --replicas=1 statefulset gooddata-cn-db-postgresql Perform GoodData.CN helm chart upgrade to version 2.0.0 according to the general upgrade guide, but append the following extra parameters on command line of helm upgrade command: --set postgresql-ha.postgresql.replicaCount=1 \--set postgresql-ha.postgresql.upgradeRepmgrExtension=true Reapply the GoodData.CN helm chart version 2.0.0 using helm upgrade command, but without two extra paramteters mentioned in the previous step. It will automatically scales up PostgreSQL StatefulSet to three pods. Upgrade GoodData.CN Community Edition to 2.0 - Including Your Organization LayoutAs an administrator, you may want to import an organization dump from the version 1.7 / 1.7.x deployment into the version 2.0 deployment. Before you can do so, you need to add sourceColumn to an attribute definition, that is the same as for label with flag primary=true, then remove the label with flag primary=true and finally remove flag primary=false from other labels. The label with flag primary=true is no longer part of the declarative document, and it will be automatically recreated on import from the attribute definition.PostgreSQL database data are deleted from the volume as part of procedure. In our instructions we are using gd-data:/data as an example.Steps: If you have not done so already, create a /tmp/organization-layout.json JSON dump from your GoodData.CN 1.7.x organization layout. See Back Up the Organization. Use the following command to create an updated version of the organization-layout.json dump file: jq ".workspaces[].model.ldm.datasets[].attributes[] |= ( .sourceColumn = (.labels[] | select (.primary == true) | .sourceColumn) | .labels = [ (.labels[] | if (.primary == false) then del(.primary) else empty end) ])" /tmp/organization-layout.json > /tmp/updated-organization-layout.json Stop your GoodData.CN 1.7 instance. Remove old PostgreSQL data and prepare volume for start of GoodData.CN 2.0: docker run --rm -v gd-data:/data busybox:1.34 rm -rf /data/postgresqldocker run --rm -v gd-data:/data busybox:1.34 rm -rf /run/s6 Start the GoodData.CN 2.0 instance. Import the updated-organization-layout.json file into your GoodData.CN 2.0 deployment. See Restore the Organization. Upgrade GoodData.CN Community Edition to 2.0 - Including Your Organization Layout and DatabaseIn GoodData Community Edition version 2.0 the PostgreSQL database has been updated to version 13. This upgrade guide lets you update the database without losing any of your data.Please note that you can upgrade the PostgreSQL database only if your current GoodData Community Edition is using a named docker volume to keep the data. In our instructions we are using gd-data:/data as an example.Steps: Export your organization layout using the API. This will let you verify the upgrade was successful at a later point in this procedure. Turn off your current Community Edition deployment: docker stop -t 60 <container-running-old-version>docker rm <container-running-old-version> Prepare environmental variables: PGDATABCK=/data/postgresql-bckPGDATAOLD=/data/postgresql-oldPGDATANEW=/data/postgresqlCURR_DATETIME="$(date +'%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M')"CHECK_DATA="/data/check_${CURR_DATETIME}"UPGRADE_DATA="/data/upgrade_${CURR_DATETIME}" Create a backup.

Ensure it starts properly. Collect database statistics: docker exec --workdir "$UPGRADE_DATA" -u postgres <container-running-version-2.0> bash -c "./analyze_new_cluster.sh" You can verify the contents of the organization by creating an export of the organization layout and comparing it to the export you created in step 1. If the upgrade was successful, you may delete the backup: docker exec <container-running-version-2.0> rm -rf $PGDATABCK and the base data for the upgrade: docker exec --workdir "$UPGRADE_DATA" <container-running-version-2.0> bash -c "./delete_old_cluster.sh" RollbackIn case something goes wrong, you can use the backup you have created in step 4 to restore your database.Steps: Stop the current container running your GoodData Community Edition: docker stop -t 60 <container-running-old-version>docker rm <container-running-old-version> Restore your data: docker run --rm -v gd-volume:/data busybox:1.34 rm -rf $PGDATANEWdocker run --rm -v gd-volume:/data busybox:1.34 mv $PGDATABCK/ $PGDATANEW Launch the previous version of your GoodData Community Edition.

Released March 24th, 2022.New FeaturesYou can now use GoodData.CN Community Edition even for production use cases. Read our new GOODDATA.CN COMMUNITY EDITION LICENSE AGREEMENT for details. We are enabling additional type of drill in Dashboards. You can now drill to URL. You can now connect applications from multiple hostnames to a single organization by setting multiple CORS origins for your organization. Learn how. We updated the product Homepage so that you can now list and search through all workspaces in your organization. Metric editor now supports multiple tabs, allowing you to open and edit multiple metrics at the same time.Fixes and UpdatesWe have improved performance and memory management of attribute filters (collectLabelElements API). This should prevent out of memory exception in cases where an attribute with large number of values is used in the filter. Queries that run longer than 3 minutes should no longer overload data sources. This applies to all data source managers and all supported data sources except for Google BigQuery. We are now caching authentication status in order to cut down on communication with external OIDC providers.API changesWe have updated performance and memory management for the collectLabelElements API.Beta FeaturesBeta features are available for users to test and provide feedback. Please note that the implementation of these features is not finalized, and the behavior or interface of these features is subject to change. We are preparing a permissions framework for GoodData.CN. In this release we are releasing it as a beta feature. Learn which permissions/roles can be used and how to configure them. Please note that if you are updating to GoodData.CN 1.7, and importing your organization from an older version, you need to follow this upgrade guide first. You then have to go through your organization’s user groups and ensure users have the appropriate permissions to be able to use GoodData.CN 1.7 as expected. Or if you want to keep the same user experience (everybody can access everything) then move all users into the bootstrap user group (named adminGroup by default) before you migrate to version 1.7. Permission to manage the whole organisation will be added during the update process. We are working on an integration with Data Source Managers such as Dremio, Apache Drill, or Presto. Thanks to the Data Source Managers, you can work with data lakes, federate multiple Data Sources in one workspace, or query non-SQL data such as REST APIs or files. Read more about the current implementation. Deprecation AnnouncementWe deprecated GET method for the API endpoint /collectLabelElements in GoodData.CN 1.7.0. The endpoint allows only the POST method from now on. If you are using GoodData.UI, you have to migrate to version 8.7.0. which supports the POST method for this endpoint.Get the Community EditionPull the GoodData.CN Community Edition to get started with the latest release:docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.7.0Upgrade GuidesUpgrade Declarative JSONs Saved In Previous VersionsAs an administrator, you may want to import an organization dump from the version 1.6 deployment into the version 1.7 deployment. Before you can do so, you need to add the MANAGE permission to the adminGroup (as defined here), otherwise the import will fail.Steps: If you have not done so already, create a JSON dump from your GoodData.CN 1.6 organization layout. See Back Up the Organization. If you are unsure what the name of your adminGroup user group is in your GoodData.CN 1.7 deployment, use the following command to find it: ADMIN_GROUP_NAME=$( \ curl -L -H "Authorization: Bearer $GDC_API_TOKEN" \ $ENDPOINT/api/entities/organization?include=bootstrapUserGroup \ | jq -r '.data.relationships.bootstrapUserGroup.data.id' ) Create an updated layout JSON file from the old GoodData.CN 1.6 layout dump with the basic permissions setup: jq --arg bootstrap_group $ADMIN_GROUP_NAME \ '.organization += {"permissions": [{"assignee": {"id": $bootstrap_group, type: "userGroup"}, "name": "MANAGE"}]}' \ <layout_file_name>.json > updated_layout.json Import the updated_layout.json file into your GoodData.CN 1.7 deployment: curl --data @updated_layout.json \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $GDC_API_TOKEN" \ -H "Content-type: application/json" \ -X PUT $ENDPOINT/api/layout/organization GoodData.CN Community EditionSuppose you are using a docker volume to store metadata from your GoodData.CN CE container. Download a new version of the GoodData.CN CE docker image and start it with your volume. All your metadata is migrated automatically.Please note that the automatic migration only assigns the MANAGE organization permission to users in the adminGroup user group. Other users and user groups need to have their permissions set up manually. See Manage Permissions.If you are not using a docker volume to store metadata from your GoodData.CN CE container, follow the version specific and general upgrade guides.GoodData.CN Production K8S EditionTo upgrade Helm chart, follow the general upgrade guide.

Dashboard Permissions Date Dimension Loader: New Component of Data Preparation and Distribution Pipeline GoodData.UI Version 8.8 Available: Dashboard Permissions, Plugin Validation, React 17, and Internet Explorer 11 Changes to API HTTP Responses: Implementation Started Improved Nomenclature Consistency UPCOMING: GoodData Classic Documentation Dashboard PermissionsGoodData introduces a new feature: Dashboard Permissions.This feature brings several changes:All newly created dashboards are private, which means that only users who create the dashboards have access to them. It is possible to share these private dashboards with other users or user groups from your workspace. The Dashboards navigation list is split into three sections: Locked dashboards for dashboards that were shared with you and that are locked. They can be edited only by administrators. Shared dashboards for dashboards that you created and shared with others, or others shared with you. Private for dashboards that you created and have not yet shared. This change has no impact on the already existing dashboards which remain shared with all users. The rights for these dashboards are still determined by the user roles.For a limited period, you can disable this feature using the platform settings. To disable it, set the enableAnalyticalDashboardPermissions platform setting to false.Learn more:Share Dashboards Date Dimension Loader: New Component of Data Preparation and Distribution PipelineWe have released Date Dimension Loader, a new component of our data preparation and distribution pipeline.Date Dimension Loader helps you load date dimension data to date datasets in one or more workspaces based on the criteria that you have defined (where the date dimension data is stored and what workspaces to load them to).NOTE: If you have been using a version of Date Dimension Loader deployed from the GoodData Services Appstore, we recommend that you migrate from your version to the newly released Date Dimension Loader, which is kept up-to-date automatically.Learn more:Date Dimension Loader GoodData.UI Version 8.8 Available: Dashboard Permissions, Plugin Validation, React 17, and Internet Explorer 11We have released Version 8.8 of GoodData.UI, our powerful library for building analytical applications powered by GoodData.What's new in GoodData.UI Version 8.8Dashboard permissions With the new dashboard permissions having been released, any dashboards that are embedded with the Dashboard component are now displayed according to the permissions set. -- Private dashboards are visible to only the users who created these dashboards. -- The dashboards shared with some users or user groups are visible to those users only. -- The dashboards that were created before the dashboard permissions have been released remain shared with all users. The rights for these dashboards are still determined by the user roles. In addition, the Share button will appear on the embedded dashboard if the dashboard user has at least editor rights. For more information about how sharing dashboards works, see Share Dashboards.   Validation for dashboard plugins The dashboard plugins linked to the same dashboard are now validated with regard to the version of the Dashboard component they can be run with. (The version of the Dashboard component is consistent with the version of GoodData.UI in use.) If no version compatible with all the linked plugins on the dashboard is found, none of the plugins is displayed on the dashboard, and an error message is logged into the browser console. You will have to review the plugins and adjust their settings so that they can run on the same version of the Dashboard component. For more information, see the plugins' README.   Support for React 17 GoodData.UI Version 8.8 supports React 17. For more information, see Supported Technologies.NOTE: React 16 is still supported as well.   Geo pushpin charts in Internet Explorer 11Geo pushpin charts no longer support Internet Explorer 11. Use one of the officially supported browsers instead. Changes to API HTTP Responses: Implementation StartedAs we announced earlier, we have started rolling out the updates to our REST API infrastructure. This may result in backward-incompatible changes in the structure of HTTP responses.How is the HTTP response structure going to change?After the API infrastructure is updated completely, the HTTP responses will not include the reason phrase. For example, instead of returning HTTP/1.1 201 Created only HTTP/1.1 201 will be returned.ACTION REQUIRED!If you use a tool for handling API calls or a custom library for integrating with the GoodData REST API, update them to make sure they can handle the upcoming change in the HTTP response structure.We will be posting separate announcements to update you on the status of the update implementation. Improved Nomenclature ConsistencyAs we announced earlier, we have introduced the following changes to the GoodData nomenclature:Old term New term measure fact calculated measure metric RolloutThe rollout is gradual to give you time to prepare for the change.January 27 - Opt-in: Official release + documentation update To opt in, set the "enableRenamingMeasureToMetric" platform setting to “true”. February 24 - Opt-out: The rename will be turned on by default. However, you will be able to disable it using platform settings. To opt out, set the "enableRenamingMeasureToMetric" platform setting to “false”. TBD - Eventually, the rename will become permanent without the opt-out option.Affected componentsOnly the GoodData platform itself is affected.

Released January 27th, 2022.New FeaturesMetric editor is now integrated into Analytical designer, so you can create and edit metrics in the context of the insight, where you need them. Learn more. Metric editor shows business names (titles) of metrics, not just their identifiers. We have significantly improved the experience around creating the Logical Data Model. You can now see all tables and views in your data source physical data model and you can then drag & drop them to the modeling canvas to create datasets in the LDM. Learn more. You can now change a fact to an attribute and vice versa in the LDM modeler if you made a mistake during the initial model preparation. See details. New python libraries to improve work with GoodData.CN and to allow metrics consumption via JDBC. All libraries are open sourced - available as a github repository and also as pypy packages. Libraries you can use: API clients are generated directly from the GoodData.CN OpenAPI specifications to enable low level API calls. Package Python SDK is a layer of convenience and a use-case oriented API that allows for a simple interaction with GoodData.CN. Foreign Data Wrapper (FDW) presents a way to map the GoodData.CN semantic layer and/or insights stored in your GoodData.CN into a PostgreSQL as foreign tables. You can then query the tables using SQL via standard JDBC protocol. The gooddata-pandas is a thin layer that utilizes Python SDK and allows you to conveniently create pandas series and data frames on top of GoodData.CN. Dashboards support drilling. You can make a dashboard interactive by using drill to insight and drill to dashboard. See details. We have changed the way unique identifiers are generated during LDM creation. The new identifiers are shortened to improve the metrics creation experience and LDM manipulation via scripts. This change affects only newly added objects, so if you use Append or Update mode when generating LDM, your existing objects will retain their identifiers and metrics, insights & dashboards will continue working. Only in the Replace mode will all identifiers be regenerated in the new way, and you will have to update your analytical objects manually. You can set the format of the axis label in an insight. Learn more. Helm chart now supports setting extra environment variables for every microservice that is part of GoodData.CN. GoodData.CN Community Edition (CE) is now more configurable. For example you can change a hostname of the default organization, allowing you to deploy GoodData.CN CE in a cloud more easily. Learn how to set a hostname and what are the other settings.And, of course, GoodData’s new visual style was applied.Fixes and UpdatesWe updated the Apache Pulsar helm chart to version 2.7.8. This version fixes the log4j vulnerability in Apache Pulsar. Additionally, property ‘–set initialize=true’ was removed. We strongly advise you to upgrade your GoodData.CN helm chart. See Upgrade Guides to learn how to upgrade. We tried to fix problem with secondary labels in dashboard attribute filter. Unfortunately, we had to revert the functionality as the fix will need more time. In case you were affected by the issue in 1.5 release, please recreate affected dashboard attribute filters.API changesAPI endpoint ‘/generateLDM’ now generates shortened identifiers for LDM objects, if possible.Beta FeaturesBeta features are available for users to test and provide feedback. They do not have their implementation finalized, and the behavior or interface for these features is subject to change.We are working on an integration with Data Source Managers such as Dremio, Apache Drill, or Presto. Thanks to the Data Source Managers, you can work with data lakes, federate multiple Data Sources in one workspace, or query non-SQL data such as REST APIs or files. Read more about the current implementation . We fixed several bugs in our Data Source Managers implementation in GoodData.CN 1.6, however the feature is not production-ready yet. We are preparing a permissions framework for GoodData.CN. Although the permissions are not enforced yet, you can already see them in the OpenAPI documentation and eventually in declarative exports.Upcoming DeprecationWe postponed deprecation of the GET method for API endpoint /collectLabelElements to GoodData.CN 1.7.0. The endpoint will use only the POST method in the future. If you are using GoodData.UI migrate to version 8.7.0. which already supports the POST method for this endpoint.Get the Community EditionPull the GoodData.CN Community Edition to get started with the latest release:docker pull gooddata/gooddata-cn-ce:1.6.0Upgrade GuidesApache Pulsar in GoodData.CN Production K8S EditionApache Pulsar helm chart needs to be upgraded to version 2.7.8.
