V8 Search XE 4.5.1.10224 Release Notes

Last updated 20 February 2024

Features
  • DPFE-2401001 A new function has been added to the analysis area, as well as various smaller search functions within the GUI.
Fixes
  • DPFI-2401002 Smaller improvements and bug fixes.


V8 Search XE 4.4.12.11223 Release Notes

Last updated 05 December 2023

Features
  • DPFE-2312001 The license of a V8 service can now be updated from the V8 Desktop Client. The prerequisite for this is that you have imported the V8 service license into the database. A new table is required in the V8 SQL database for this function.
  • DPFE-2312002 A search function can be displayed for each data result grid in addition to the auto filter. The search function can be shown or hidden using the ALT + S shortcut.
  • DPFE-2312003 A new workflow called TCompare has been added to the V8 Desktop Client. The TCompare function compares recorded transactions to the TSQL command „Uplock“ of the tables used. In the new overview, it is therefore easier to determine which two transactions have accessed the same resource (table). These parallel accesses to tables are usually the cause of a deadlock or a table lock. This workflow requires a new function in the V8 SQL database.
  • DPFE-2312004 SQL Server Extended Events Files (LD, BL, DL, Full, User) can now be archived by the V8 Desktop Client.
Updates
  • DPUP-2312005 Various third party DLL were updated.
Fixes

Fixes
  • DPFI-2310006 Smaller improvements and bug fixes.

Features
  • DPFE-2105003 V8 Performance Toolkit in V8 Search XE

    In the future, the „XE Profiler“ module will be renamed to „V8 Performance Toolkit“ (V8PT). The V8 Performance Toolkit (V8PT) is part of V8 Search XE and consists of performance monitoring tools that create detailed performance profiles of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV ERP applications. This documentation explains both the V8 Performance Recorder (V8PR) and the V8 Performance Analyzer (V8PA).

    Components of the V8 Performance Toolkit

    The V8 Performance Toolkit consists of two independent tools: V8 Performance Recorder (V8PR) and V8 Performance Analyzer (V8PA). Basic procedures and a detailed walkthrough can be found in the V8 Search XE Help.

    V8 Performance Recorder

    V8PR (V8 Services) is a powerful recording tool that creates records for Event Tracing for Windows (ETW). You can run V8PR from the V8 Search XE user interface or from the command line. V8PR provides built-in profiles that allow you to select the specific events for Dynamics NAV Server instances to be recorded. Alternatively, you can create custom profiles in XML. V8PR can also be accessed and controlled using the V8PRControl API (Application Programming Interface). You can easily generate a recording using the V8PR User Interface (UI). Use built-in recording profiles to analyze table locks (BL), deadlocks (DL), long durations (LD), poor system or application performance, or other SQL Server performance issues associated with Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics NAV. V8PR stores events in the V8 database.

    V8 Performance Analyzer

    V8PA is a powerful analysis tool that combines a very flexible user interface with comprehensive features and data tables that can be pivoted and have full text search capabilities.

    The new functionality of analyzing event trace data can be executed from the dialog windows „Blockings“ , „Deadlocks“ and „Long Durations“.

  • DPFE-2105004 If you move the mouse over a datagrid in a dialog window, the text in the editor changes with the content of the activated cell. There is now the possibility to control this behavior via the button „Cell“.
Fixes
  • DPFI-2105005 It was not possible to drag and drop different actions buttons from the review to the dashboard. This bug has been fixed.

V8 Search XE 3.5.1.10321 Release Notes

Last updated 08 March 2021

Fixes
  • DPFI-2103001 After importing a Full SQL Trace Xevents log, an error occurred when starting the „Full SQL Trace XEvents Transaction“ dialog and entering the transaction number. The error was caused by an arithmetic overflow and has been fixed.
  • DPFI-2103010 When scrolling in a „Data Grid“, an undesired effect occurred when you reached the end of the rows. This bug has been fixed.
  • DPFI-2103013 Updating the changed AL code objects from Dynamics SQL database to V8 database did not work correctly. This bug has been fixed.
Features
  • DPFE-2103002 A new function has been implemented to analyze the T-SQL scripts from the „long durations“. The function consists of two parts it formats all SQL scripts so that they can be executed and measured directly in SSMS Studio. The second part of the function extracts all table names from all T-SQL scripts of the „long durations“. This allows the table names to be analyzed by frequency.
  • DPFE-2103003 From now on, the T-SQL scripts can be passed directly to SQL Server Management Studio from the dialog windows using the shortcut Ctrl + F7.
  • DPFE-2103004 A function has been added under the menu item Dashboard -> General. The Transaction ID Full SQL Trace function compares the imported „Full SQL Trace“ data with the Blocking, Deadlocks and Long Durations data. If there are any matches of the Transaction ID during this period, they will be displayed in a list. The list will show you whether it is a blocking transaction or a blocked transaction. With the Full SQL Trace Events Transaction function, you can view the complete transaction in the open dialog box. In the dialog window there is a new button under XE Profiler with the name Analysis after pressing the button the detected SQL scripts are marked, which was detected for this transaction as blocking, deadlock or long duration.
  • DPFE-2103005 Under the menu item „SQL Database“ -> „SQL Server Database Index“ the function „Index breakdown“ has been changed. The function no longer analyzes the entire database but only a specially specified table.For the parameter „ReportStyle“ please enter the value 0 or 1.

    In the SQL database section there are now some queries that you can filter on special table names. When you start the query and a dialog box with the „SpecifiedTable“
    parameters appears, you can enter the table name or leave the parameter value empty. If you confirm with okay and have inserted a table name, the SQL query will be executed specifically on this table. If you leave the parameter value blank, the SQL query will be executed for the entire database.

    The filtering applies to the following SQL queries:

    • SQL Server Database -> Automatic Statistics Updating
    • SQL Server Database -> Buffer Usage
    • SQL Server Database -> Last time table was accessed
    • SQL Server Database -> Objekt modify
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Simple Redundant Index Query
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Volatile Indexes
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Which Index Is Never Used
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Overall Index Usage Reads
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Index Fragmentation
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Get Fill Factor for all Indexes on Database
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Find Statistics Information
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Fixing SQL Server Fragmentation
    • SQL Server Database Index -> Indexes Script Out

To backup configuration files in the future, open the Settings and navigate to the area under the menu item „Backup Configuration“. Here you have the option to specify a directory. Press the blue button on the left, select a directory and the data will be automatically backed up to the folder.
  • DPFE-2103008 Another change was made in the area of the V8 services. In the future, the services will no longer be started or stopped one after the other, but in parallel. During this process, no progress indicator will be displayed in the task area. When a V8 service has finished starting or stopping, you will receive a notification message at the bottom right edge.
    Color blue = „check“,
    Color green = „start“,
    Color red = „stop“.

    In the new version, only the number of events is displayed. The „SPID Dynamics WinUser“ function is also included in the new profiler. You can still see which Windows user had which SQL Server SPID at a given time.
