- Solver_Repository

Additionally,
- This release requires an upgrade to Service Fabric . Please take a snapshot of your Services server prior to performing the Service Fabric upgrade.
- Recommended upgrade of the Report Degner application for all end users. Users will be prompted to install the latest version upon opening a report in Excel.
Upgrades should be done during a planned maintenance period. The time it takes to perform the upgrade, assuming no issues, will be dependent on the infrastructure allocated to the above machines.

Data Warehouse
The following are highlighted, new features and enhancements in this version of Private Host.
- Update Data Warehouse menus to display dates in the logged in user’s time zone.
In previous version of Private Host, the Data Warehouse menu showed the UTC datetime instead of the logged in user’s local time.
- Support Rolling Periods in Rules and Jobs.
This version of Private Host allows users to implement rolling periods for integrations and rules in a Job that has a period parameter. These data load steps will now have the option of manually choosing periods (current functionality) or setting a rolling period which will “move” forward as the year progresses based off the defined calculation.- Customers must upgrade their Service Fabric install to get this feature
- Rules require updated syntax on the period dimension, documented here (ref: rollingPeriod).
- Streamline integration “Publish” action.
This version of Private Host introduced an improved Publish Integration action for performance improvements in many situations.
