Welcome to Seeq! If you have any feedback or support questions, please email
our support team at [email protected].
For each user that accesses the Seeq Workbench for the first time, a fully interactive tour will present itself
to assist the user in learning how to use our software. The tour can be dismissed and accessed later via the
system menu in the upper-right corner of Seeq Workbench.
Upgrading Seeq Server on Microsoft Windows platforms to version R59.0.0 or higher is not supported.
Seeq Remote Agents on Microsoft Windows platforms can be upgraded to R59.0.0 and beyond. If you are running
Seeq Server on Microsoft Windows, please reach out to your Seeq Customer Success Manager, your Seeq Reseller, or
Seeq Technical Support to discuss your options.
When upgrading to Seeq Server R59.0.0 or later from a Seeq Server version before R58.0.0, an intermediate upgrade
to the latest R58 release is required. Installers and release notes for all previous releases are available
here. All asynchronous background upgrades must complete on the
intermediate version before proceeding with the upgrade to version R59.0.0 or later.
Before upgrading, it is recommended that you create a backup of your current Seeq Server. That way you can
restore your application version, configuration and data files to known good if for some reason there is
an issue with the upgrade. To create a backup, follow the instructions in the
Backing Up the Seeq Database
article in the Seeq Knowledge Base.
The Seeq Server database schema is upgraded automatically when a new version of Seeq Server first loads a data
folder created by an older version of Seeq Server. The blue text at the bottom of the Seeq Server launch
interface is intended to give insight into upgrade progress.
When upgrading, it is recommended that you update the Seeq Server and all Seeq Remote Agents at the same time. Each
version of Seeq is tested as a whole and breaking changes between the Seeq Server and older Seeq Remote Agents
are not tracked.
In R59.2.2, Seeq Data Lab has upgraded and added Python packages. Please visit Preinstalled Packages for the list
of the latest installed packages.
Note that timing can vary significantly depending on how many formulas are determined to need their caches cleared
and how many formulas depend upon the affected formulas.
Bug CRAB-35028 exposed a rare scenario where an aggregate may produce incorrect results. It only affects signals
that were re-cached by versions 58.0-58.2.1 or 59.0-59.1.0
where the linear input signal to the aggregate had a discontinuity directly aligned with the left edge of the
capsule of interest. Clearing the cache on these items will fix the results.
Starting in R59.0.0, Seeq's database store is upgraded from version 12 to version 14.4. This new version contain
several features that will benefit regular Seeq operations and database health, such as less space taken up on disk.
The upgrade time is heavily dependent on disk speed and total database table size, as well as a number of other
factors. As an example on a system with 98,000 IOPS (Input Output Operations Per Second) and a disk throughput of
3200 MB/s, the upgrade will take approximately 1 minute per 4 GB of total table size. For a slower system with 7700
IOPS and a throughput of 200 MB/s, the upgrade will take around 1 minute per 1.5 GB of total table size.
To see the total size of all tables in the database, you can run seeq db stats -v
in the Seeq CLI and
sum the values in the table
column of the Table Sizes
table.
In R58.0.0, all boundaries (ancillaries) will be converted to threshold metrics. These metrics can be found by
searching for "(old boundary name) Boundary". Existing worksteps that contain boundaries should be visually unaffected
by this change.
Previously the ADX connector allowed username / password authentication to access data within ADX. This functionality
has been deprecated by Microsoft and users must now create a service principal as documented here:
