panagenda is proud to announce the release of this new version of ConnectionsExpert, the all-in-one solution for IBM Connections Analytics, Monitoring and accelerating Adoption.

The new version contains a variety of new features, performance improvements and bug fixes. Here are a few highlights:

  • Community Focus: many new features and improvements are related to community analytics. A brand new community details page, vast improvements in bubble chart interactivity and utilization rankings are just a few examples.
  • Extended Analysis Period: usage history beyond 30 days is now available. A wide range of visualizations and analysis capabilities benefit from this change. In addition, a feature was added that allows importing of existing data from IBM Connections.

CE_v1-1-0

When upgrading, the existing appliance will stay in place and does not need to be redeployed. Due to extending the analysis period, parts of the previously collected data will be obsolete. Please use the new history import feature to fill the resulting gap.

To start the upgrade, download the installation package and extract the debz file from the zip to prepare the upgrade. Install the new version via the URL /pac on your server or using the menu option “Install New Version …” in the configuration menu. For detailed instructions please take a look at the ConnectionsExpert Setup Guide.

We strongly encourage you to install updates as soon as they are available. The latest version will always provide best functionality and ensure the stability of your systems.
