Discover fresh updates from our Product Team:
Scheduling
Ad hoc jobs can be automatically deleted after successful processing. Usage Scenarios and Simulation Scenarios can be started with a simple start dialog. Clintview will take care about creating, scheduling, running, and cleaning up jobs and schedules.
Recurring schedules can now be defined with a fixed start date (per week, per month, etc) independent from possible delays in the previous job processing.
Process Priorities
Clintview 5.2 introduces process priorities. Long running processing can be stopped by higher prioritized jobs. It might be necessary to quickly run ad hoc simulations while your monthly jobs are still running. With process prioritization it is possible to slow down or stop non-critical tasks to speed-up the necessary ones. A priority can be defined for users and schedules.
Reports
Clintview enhances the possibilities for input fields in your reports. An input field can have default values, can exclude your results, can be a multi select field or the possible values can be selected from the database.
References and Delete
References will be handled in Clintview’s cache. References can be shown for several objects. Deletion of several objects is improved and will be done using bulk statements. Therefore, delete tasks and reference handling is much faster in Clintview 5.2
Other
▪ Optimized Memory Management throughout the application
▪ Automatic Checking for new Clintview versions
▪ Several parameters can speed up simulation with lots of options and/or products
▪ Define upper limits for you experience value
Simulation
Simulation of converged products and complex customer structure receives a Branch & Bound functionality. Pre-simulate contract results and combine bundles in a customer simulation according to your business requirements.
Job Processing
Clintview’s new scheduling functionality supports complex job schedules with process steps running in parallel, exclusive, or dependent on other processes. The whole process chain including execution of external scripts will be supported.
Decision Rules
A new Decision Rule editor simplifies the configuration of the business rules for simulation. A configuration assistant guides through the setup. Enhanced users can define complex nested rules using Boolean operators.
CDR Pre Processing
Within the normal Clintview simulations mappings Call Data Source can be changed or enhanced with new valuable information. By analyzing call behavior of the subscriber, it is possible to detect new zones on the fly and offer special prices for new call features in price plans and options.
Other
▪ Enhanced Proposal results with additional information
▪ New ranking in the Proposal results
▪ Versioning of monthly charges for options within price plans
▪ Enhanced configuration possibilities in discounts
▪ Filter in log entries of the objects
▪ Pass filters on to child reports
▪ Enhanced log entries for user actions outside of editors
Jobs
Clintview includes a new scheduling functionality. Clintview Manager supports simple manual simulation starts as well as complex job plans with process steps running in parallel or exclusive. The whole process chain including execution of external scripts will be supported.
In Memory CDR Processing
Clintview introduces a new in-memory CDR preprocessing. Within the normal Clintview simulations mappings can change your Call Data Source or even create new valuable information by analyzing call behavior of the subscribers. The detection of top numbers or optimal closed-usergroups can be an integrated part of each simulation.
GUI Improvements
Clintview Manager offers an enhanced look & feel using a new framework and Java 8. New features improve the
ease of use of Clintview Manager. Clintview Manager offers individual editors for any object. Users can hide fields or columns of tables that they do not need to use. Administrators can use this feature to individualize the editors for each user roles.
Simulation
New simulation parameters can be used to reduce the written simulation results, define the written additional option results and fine-tune Branch & Bound simulations.
Proposal
Clintview introduces new Proposal logging mechanism to survey the decisions made in Proposal runs.
Logging
Administrators can check server Clintview’s log files directly within Clintview Manager.
Data Dictionary
Clintview’s table references have been enhanced. Views on the database can be reduced. Tables can be edited.
GUI Improvements
Clintview Manager offers a new look & feel using a new framework and Java 8. New features improve the ease of use of Clintview Manager.
Other
▪ Simulation without any data source is possible to simulate just monthly charges
▪ Available EVAL_DATEs can be configured in the Clintview database instead of loading them from the CONTRACT_BASE table
▪ Object counter in every view
▪ New description fields in Report, Proposal, Bundle Rule, Bundle Rule Set, Price Plan, Set Model, Option Set Model
▪ New Meta Field Type “Long String” to implement multi-line fields
▪ New assistant to add several values in Meta Field Editor
Bundles
Converged products and complex customer structure are now fully integrated in Clintview’s simulation and proposition engine.
Task Management
Clintview now takes care of automated sub-process handling and distribution of simulation tasks.
Reporting
Clintview’s reporting functionality is now extended not only to the standard Clintview tables but to all available sources in the database.
Data Dictionary
Clintview own Data Dictionary offers new features introducing new table references.
GUI Improvements
Clintview Manager offers a new look & feel using a new framework and Java 8. New features improve the ease of use of Clintview Manager.
Separate Control DB
Clintview’s process control tables can be separated into a small PostgreSQL or MySQL database to relieve the data warehouse from internal statements (only available for Teradata installations).
Other
▪ Enhanced Proposals do now allow a configurable number of results
▪ Performance of saving and deleting Price Plans, Price Models and Discounts is improved.
▪ Caching of objects is more powerful. Caching only IDs and names or every field of an object is possible. The caches can be loaded at start-up as a background process.
▪ New type “Free Options” for Option Groups.
▪ Information about the scheduler in Clintview Manager’s about dialogue.
▪ Finding Options that are not defined in your Simulation Scenario.
▪ Hiding free filter text box in Segments/Reports
▪ Links to objects look different.
▪ Meta Fields can be accessed directly from the objects.
▪ And many more major and minor improvements.
