General Notes

Support Ticket information: Tickets with numbers starting '22-' or '23-' can be accessed in SalesForce; other tickets can be accessed in Freshdesk. When a ticket for the same issue exists in both systems, both numbers are included. (The Freshdesk system was deprecated on 2022-11-07 and it is not updated with new information.)

Upgrading to Planning Space 20.3: See the Planning Space Deployment Guide (Version 20 Upgrade Paths) for the latest information about upgrade paths from version 16.5 to 20.3.

Installation changes - Update 17 and later: Releases since Update 17 use a new installer platform based on the WiX Toolset. This provides a single, unified EXE file for installing any of: Planning Space (IPS) server; Planning Space client application; CX Suite client applications; LP Solver service. For the updated installation instructions see the Deployment Guide. When the WiX-based installer is used for the first time, a complete uninstall of the existing Planning Space installation (i.e., Update 16 or earlier), followed by a machine reboot, will be required. Subsequent Updates can be installed in-place.

Fixed Defects

Description	Support Ticket
Regime import: Fixed issues that were causing very slow importing for regime files containing large numbers of variables; the function logic has been improved for efficiency, error checking, and more linear dependence on the number of variables.	23-00894088
Dataflow link - Pivot and Aggregate: Fixed an issue where the truncated data periods were not correctly set (the start/end dates of the first child source variable were always applied and not adjusted for subsequent variables).	23-00895114
