This week sees the release of P2 Explorer 4.6.5.
P2 Explorer 4.6 consolidates what was previously three installers into one. It also combines the three separate databases of P2 Server, P2 Explorer, and P2 Security into a single database.
This release introduces the concept of the Info Zone – an area on the right side of the Explorer screen which displays context-sensitive information in a new Explore panel. This takes the concept of the “Table of Contents” in previous releases of Explorer, to the next level. For this release, comments and display information will appear in this zone, with more to come in future releases.
P2 Explorer version 4.6.5 is a patch release, with enhancements to templated trends and Data Dictionary calculations..
Features and enhancements include:
- Comments can be added to entities in templated trends and charts, against the entity attribute value
- An easier was to add comments on charts
- Display names are shown on hairlines for templated traces in charts and trends
- Templated entities in a trend will now show the name of the selected entity instead of the “Entity” keyword
- A new “Null Handling” datasource configuration option has been added to the PHD300 adaptor type
- Function enhancements to better support Data Dictionary calculations
This release also addresses several issues found in previous versions.
