Angles Hub 25.4 Release Notes
New Features
Automated Notification System and Self-Service Upgrade Scheduling
Version 25.4 introduces a comprehensive feature that revolutionizes how customers are informed about and schedule system upgrades and maintenance activities. The new system delivers critical notifications directly within the Angles Hub through a prominent banner displayed across all pages, ensuring customers never miss important upgrade or maintenance announcements. The Hub Version Upgrade tab, available under Administrator, provides customers unprecedented flexibility through self-service upgrade scheduling, allowing them to select their preferred upgrade dates and times within defined windows—up to thirty days for releases and seven days for patches. This eliminates manual processes, traditional dependency on email communications, and manual coordination with support teams, creating a fully autonomous and user-controlled upgrade experience.
Enhanced User Metadata Synchronization in Noetix Security Manager (NSM)
Version 25.4 improves user management by ensuring that when you delete a user from Angles Hub, they are also removed from the Noetix Security Manager (NSM) table, which tracks user access and permissions. This prevents leftover records from staying in the database. Additionally, the Refresh User Mappings feature has been enabled for Oracle E-Business Suite environments, allowing administrators to trigger an automatic cleanup from the BI Tool that removes any remaining orphaned user records from the NSM table, ensuring complete data accuracy across the system.
Platform Report Migration
Version 25.4 introduces a comprehensive Platform Report Migration feature that revolutionizes how customers migrate legacy platform reports to Angles Hub. The Platform Report Migration feature provides a centralized migration solution that eases the migration process by enabling customers to import extracted platform reports through an intuitive interface. Customers can select which reports to migrate, monitor progress in real-time, track comprehensive results, and maintain complete audit history.
The Report Migration Utility extracts platform reports from the SQL Server database and consolidates the extracted reports into a single portable .noetix file as a prerequisite step for import through the Platform Report Migration feature.
The Platform Report Migration feature is available under Metadata > Platform Report Migration in Angles Hub, providing a centralized location for report migration activities.
Row-Level Security for Snapshot Reports
Version 25.4 introduces row-level security (RLS) for snapshot reports, extending enterprise-grade data security capabilities that were previously available only for view-based reports. The RLS for snapshot reports feature automatically enforces row-level security on snapshot reports, ensuring users see only the data they are authorized to view based on their organizational access privileges, with security enforcement leveraging principal columns in views and user mapping hierarchies to apply granular data filtering at the report level. The feature is automatically applied to snapshot reports when accessed through Excel Add-in, with security mappings configured in Administrator > Application Registration where Oracle E-Business Suite users are mapped to Angles Hub users and Angles Hub users are mapped to BI users.
Fixed Issues
Environment Version Update During Refresh Business Views
After upgrading to version 25.3, the Refresh Business Views operation incorrectly updated the environment version values to 25.3 for all environments in the organization, regardless of which specific environment was actually upgraded. For organizations with multiple environments (such as Development, QA, and Production) running different versions, this caused all environments to display the same version number in the Platform tile, creating confusion and inaccurate version tracking across the deployment.
[ANGO-4249]
Excel Parameters in Snapshot Reports
When generating snapshot reports in the Angles Hub Excel Add-in, parameters configured in Angles Hub were not applied during report execution. Date parameters modified in Excel were not reflected when running the report query, and optional string parameters marked as Is Null that were cleared in Excel caused query errors. As a result, snapshot reports displayed incorrect or unexpected data that did not match the user-specified parameter values.
[ANGO-4336]
WalkMe Properties on Home Page
When accessing the Angles Hub home page, WalkMe properties including the _iswUser data were not loading correctly, preventing WalkMe's interactive guidance and onboarding features from functioning on the home page. While WalkMe worked properly on other pages throughout the application, this data loss on the home page created an inconsistent user experience and prevented new users from accessing contextual help and walkthroughs when they first logged into Angles Hub.
[ANGO-4353]
Simba DLLs in Hub Excel Add-in .exe Installer
The Angles Hub Excel Add-in .exe installer package was missing critical Simba ODBC driver DLL files required for database connectivity. As a result, users who installed the Angles Hub Excel Add-in using the .exe installer experienced connection failures and could not establish database connections, while the .msi installer functioned correctly.
[ANGO-4354]
Bulk User Import for BI User Mappings
When administrators attempted to use the Migrate Existing Users option to import users into the Noetix Security Manager BI user mapping, the bulk import process failed and prevented users from being migrated into Angles Hub. Additionally, the CSV template file provided for bulk user import, which administrators use to specify user mappings between Angles Hub users and BI tool users, contained an ambiguous column header HUB_USER that caused confusion about whether to enter the Angles Hub user name or email address, potentially leading to import errors.
[ANGO-4427]
User Authentication Type in Noetix Security Manager
When registering database users in the Angles Hub application, users were incorrectly stored with authentication type A (EBS authenticated user) in the N_SECURITY_MGR_USERS table instead of being classified as type U (database user).
[ANGO-4432]
General Ledger View Placement in OBIEE
When customers customized and deployed General Ledger views such as GL_All_JE_Lines, the views incorrectly appeared under Subledger views in the OBIEE presentation layer instead of under General Ledger views. During metadata synchronization, the system assigned the SUBLEDGER_ACCOUNTING role label instead of LEDGER to GL views, causing them to be categorized in the wrong subject area for reporting and analytics.
[ANGO-4445]
Descriptive Flexfields (DFF) Configuration
When users attempted to configure Descriptive Flexfields (DFFs) in business views by clicking the Personalize DFF option under the Query tab, an error message similar to the following was displayed:
ORA-00911: invalid character
[ANGO-4446]
Angles Hub Excel Add-In Version Update During Angles Hub Upgrades
When customers upgraded Angles Hub from version 24.4 to newer versions (25.1, 25.2, or 25.3), the Angles Hub Excel Add-In (Excel Add-In) version number remained at 24.4 and did not update to match the upgraded Angles Hub version. This created version mismatches between the Angles Hub application and the Excel Add-In component, causing confusion about which Excel Add-In features were available and making support troubleshooting difficult.
[ANGO-4479]
BI Tool Registration Product Code
When registering BI Tool applications in Angles Hub's Application Registration, the product_code field in the backend database was incorrectly set to BOBJ (SAP Business Objects) regardless of which BI tool type (OBIEE, OAS, OAC, Cognos,...) was selected during registration. This caused incorrect BI tool type identification in the Noetix Security Manager and could impact user mapping functionality and authentication for non-Business Objects BI tools.
